In theory, yes. I suppose it's not very likely, but if you're having issues on a stock car that can be traced to your plugs, then they would be replaced.

Maintenance plan calls for new plugs every 45k.

I'm getting tired of this thread

It would look like this...

Any word on N55?
What about the 1M?

this thread has become increasingly useless... y'all should have bought an N54!! J

The 1M has a N54. Surprise!
And if Cobb would at least answer any of these questions, they wouldn't pop up again every 2 weeks.

RnmEvo9 · 07-10-2011, 05:19 PM

So when is Stage 2 coming out?

Groundpilot · 07-10-2011, 06:34 PM

What about n55?

Frampton · 07-11-2011, 10:10 AM

1M support?

B-Moose · 07-12-2011, 05:56 AM

I'm glad you can take it in stride... it gets frustrating for me since this thread has turned into a request thread, and here I am still checking it hoping someone has posted something relevant or insightful.

Here's what everyone needs to know: stage 2 maps coming soon, N55 support is being worked on, no plans (AFAIK) for support outside of NA, annoying requests and questions about support should be directed to Cobb via email/phone calls. No need to litter the forums!

Just installed my AcessPORT yesterday. Took me about an hour to pull out my SSTT by myself. Installed pretty quickly though the first time it got interupted after downloading the stock map and prior to flashing Stage 1. That was completely my fault though I opened the door to grab a drink (was sooo hot in SC). Second attempt was smooth. I will say it is terrifying during the install I kept thinking my car was going to shut off or lose power mid-flash like the instructions said completely rendering my car inop. It didn't though and I took all precautions (extended drive beforehand, all auxillaries off).

On first drive the car didn't really feel any more powerful through the first 3 gears. But the pull in higher gears I definitly noticed. As such I attributed the lack of change in the first three gears to used up stock runflats. I have some Continental ExtremeContact DW's on backorder so I can't wait to see how the car responds once the new tires are on.

When I'm doing a fresh install (after dealer visits) I usually go for a long drive (as you mentioned, to make sure the battery is nice and charged) and then drop the driver's side window and run the accessport out of the window... that way you're not waiting inside the car, fidgeting in the hot weather, etc.

First time I loaded my Cobb AP I felt an enormous difference in every gear and had traction issues in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

What map did you load? The older maps, which parallel the stock mapping, have some serious boost onset at low throttle inputs, the more 'linear' maps add a ton more power, but it may not seem so noticeable at mid-range RPMs or when you're not stomping on the pedal.

x2, did you load a Alternative Throttle map? I went to one of those and compared to the standard v202 map, it almost felt stock until I REALLY slammed the pedal..definitely not as much fun.

sam0329 · 07-12-2011, 04:06 PM

Mind is waiting for me at home. Can't wait to install it tonight

Kamal · 07-12-2011, 06:54 PM

There's a few posts in here like that... change your plugs. Have you done the injector recall yet?

sam0329 · 07-12-2011, 11:38 PM

So tonight I reflashed to Stage 1 93. My 135i is auto and I found in normal driving condition I cannot feel any different than stock however when I put it in S mode I can definiately feel the difference!! Tomorrow I will test out the cruse control on my way to work...

Really? I feel a difference with Stage 1 93, but have not tried Sport mode yet. Wasn't certain what would happen so thanks for the info. Haven't had a chance to try cruise so good luck.

sam0329 · 07-13-2011, 11:19 AM

Cruise control do not work. But the car is more fun to drive. Not as fun as my GT3076 STi but close

Kamal · 07-13-2011, 11:39 AM

Yes I believe it does to prevent everyone from doing the recall at once and being denied due to injectors being out of stock. Also, just noticed you have a 2010 so I'm not even sure if that recall affects your model year.

Post your codes that you get when you misfire... I've had two separate misfire events, first one was solved by performing the pump/injector recall, and the second was solved by changing out my plugs to new ones. If you want to change your plugs, I made a post about a spark plug issue that lists a cheap source and links to a couple DIYs.

Juicehead · 07-13-2011, 01:52 PM

What is the highest boost spike you guys have seen? I am running catless DPs and I have seen a 21.6...

Yup, I think that's the exact number I've seen...

ModBargains.com · 07-13-2011, 08:31 PM

I just updated my COBB AccessPORT through the AP manager and got the (IJEOS) v203 map on the car. It definitely feels a lot more responsive as compared to the v202 linear map in comparison. Try going into the COBB AccessPORT manager, click options, and check the box that says check for beta firmware. Go back to the update tab and see if it loads it up the v203 maps for those of you who are interested in checking it out!

Ordering mine in the AM!

sam0329 · 07-14-2011, 08:42 AM

Updated to Map 203 last night as well. I can feel its better than 202 as well. Now I can only hope for Cobb will fix the cruise control issue and release the pro tuning tools soon
