How was it?

sandare · 01-08-2013, 10:24 PM

I had an N54 135 stock with Procede V4. The N54 is definitely faster but the N55 Cobb is more responsive on low rpm.

N55 Cobb compared to N55 stock is very noticeable. I didn't play with it much though today, I live in Seattle and it's been raining like crazy!

The upgrade was smooth. Make sure to hook the AP to your PC and update it before connecting it to the car. The installation was very easy.

I called Cobb last week and told them that my car was delivered by the end of Dec 2011 and it's a 2012. Then I told them I would like to give it a try since there is a 30 days return policy. They said that's fine.

I got the AP today and hooked it to my pc to update the firmware then connected it to my car. And it worked! my ECU was supported, I have it on Stg1 aggressive.

Reaaaally.... That makes me want to try it when I have the funds. My car was build in January and delivered in Feb.

There is no guarantee that it'd work(they haven't added 2013 or full 2012 support yet) and since your car is Gulf Spec'd which I assume means a different coding region, you would need to send that in to cobb to crack anyway. It wont be PnP.

Calv · 01-13-2013, 07:56 PM

When will support for 2012 be available? Maybe in a couple of months?

frenziedpace · 01-19-2013, 08:16 AM

Just ordered mine.... A little hesitant but I hope they develop new maps soon... Here in PR they just have 91 octane so I'm planing to run it in aggressive despite this to see how it works. Hope everything is fine... Ill let you know guys!!

josemh23 · 02-04-2013, 04:57 PM

I just installed cobb. the install took about 15 minutes. you simply plug de obd port, and follow the instructions. you start seeing a bunch of symbols on the dash and after a little sweat on this 85 degress puerto Rico weather your done. i put the stage 1 agressive, despite having only 91 oct fuel (shell) and went for a drive. I was not sure if i needed to put the transmission on drive or sport or manual so i choose sport mode. you could definitely feel the added torque, my wheels went spining at the begining. i think is a nice upgrade from stocck. i only have berk race exhause as mod. i need to play with the device a little bit more, and i know i have to be careful cause i have only 91 octanes. tomorrow ill go for a longer drive, so lets see how it goes.

Tricki · 02-04-2013, 06:00 PM

Just ordered mine from Australia!! See how it goes... Can't wait any longer. We have 91/95/98 octane fuel.hope it's an easy supported ROM install otherwise ... First Cobb support then Sit and wait or Return!!

does this mean its available now to Australian customers?, I thought it was going to be a few months.

josemh23 · 02-04-2013, 10:27 PM

Check directly on cobb site because I think Australia is not supported right now

Tricki · 02-05-2013, 06:37 AM

Prepared to risk it... 2012 not supported although some work!! Has been shipped out and awaiting for it.. Will let u guys know how it goes.. Worst case it gets sent back, although planning to hold onto it and once supported I will update and hopefully work then !!

Sequence · 02-05-2013, 12:21 PM

With Stage 1 sport are there any recommended mods? Same with the aggressive map?

Or is the aggresive just for the people who use 93oct+

whostorm05 · 02-05-2013, 03:11 PM

My 2012 has a build date of May 2011. I wonder if I should give it a try and see what happens. It will check the computer to verify it's the proper version before trying to write changes, correct?

If I have a JB4 Stage 1 installed do I need to remove it prior?

there are people who run them together, if I remember correctly you need to flash via Cobb first.
http://www.burgertuning.com/cobb.html
"Upon receipt of the Cobb AP unit load the included "Stage0" map and then email us your DME version so we can email you the proper BMS JB4 flash file for your vehicle." - BurgerTuning

Contact them to double check that you can do this with the N55 motor first though!

Thanks Venom. Can you think of a purpose for running both at the same time?
