I don't really get why people are asking if they should un-install for said inspections....I thought the biggest advantage of this flash tune is that it's the easiest to un-install/re-install exactly for the purpose of inspections.
~10 min of time. How lazy. Why not just do it if it's so easy instead of taking a chance? I don't own an AP so not sure if I'm missing something in the process.....is there more to it that nobody is saying or is it just 10min is too long for some people? |

lol. You're right, it is lazy. I remember when I had a JB3, I would install/uninstall all the time just cause I was paranoid. Honestly though, my Cobb stage 1 feel just a powerful. Planning on doing FBO by christmas. Can't even imagine what it'll be like.

BMW for example will display a Service Engine Soon light if you get misfires and other related mishaps, which triggers the emissions monitors. |

That risk varies in part based on dexterity of the user, but in another part could depend on things out of your control, or even luck. For example, say in the middle of the flash your engine or the battery dies for whatever reason. Now what? Would you chose to fill up your 18 gallon tank 18 times, one gallon at a time, just for the heck of it? Eventually you'll get a dent. You can't fight statistics. Moral: if you don't have to do it, avoid doing it. |

Sorry, but didn't want to read through 53 pages of posts, so forgive me if this has been asked. Are there plans for a N55 version? If so, when? Thanks.

I think it would be a great idea if this thread could be RE-NAMED to:
Cobb N54 Tuning Accessport for 135i and open a second thread for: Cobb N55 Tuning Accessport for 135i When Cobb does come out with a N55 tune...I seriously doubt they're going to keep it a secret. |

FYI at least in Illinois you will still pass if you have one system in a not ready state, you need two to fail. Just did it on my beater, evap system was listed on the printout as not ready, CEL was thrown, still passed. So I would think its very likely that you would still pass with catless dps as long as nothing else is wrong. Plus, why not just try, if you fail then you take them out, not like you go to jail for failing.
