Cobb v2 input

[MusclesCoupe]

Hello everyone

Just finally installed my Cobb AP v2 loaded up with stage 2 I'd like to get it protuned.

Any further advice on tuning with the following current mods:

Meisterschaft rear
AR downpipes catless
N55 mid

Future mods
Wagner FMIC


Thanks

I highly recommend PTF for pro tuning on Cobb. Excellent results & service

The DPs and what not were able to be purchased at the time wagner is on deck next.... PTF needs the car on site though correct?

no you can do whats called an E-tune where you send them logs.
check out brentuning.
they are a new sponsor on this site and they have been putting great numbers up.
with cobb OTS maps, they up the boost heavily on the +FMIC maps.
you should get an FMIC and try those maps before you decide if you really want to spend the money.
i had my protuner check my logs and he couldnt fidn too many tweaks besides fixing throttle closure i was seeing on the stage2+FMIC map i had, but that was tweaked many times by COBB as the OTS werent made for my x5.
i got an E30 map made and its great though

If you don't have one already, you should also put a good aftermarket charge pipe in there before it pops or cracks.

Any recommendations?

Get one that uses the stock C-clip as the attachment to the throttle body (instead of a silicone hose with clamps).

I have one made by Evolution Racewerks and it fits very securely.

Wagner due to the good reviews I've seen along with the complete plug and play as I do not want to cut anything on the 1M.

So your thoughts upgrade the charge pipe along with DV get a fmic and then do e-tune.

IMO, Forge & ETS are the best no-trim FMIC options. ETS have has a huge amount of test data http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/E...tercooler.html

What about the HPF? I am planning on swapping it over from my 135 to the 1M, I like the fact that is uses the factory style (billet) quick disconnect c-clip couplers. It fit perfect w/o cutting. Maybe I will sell it and try something new if there is trimming involved.

5.75" tall X 7" deep
815 cubic in of cooling (factory-435 cubic in)

I second PTF for the E-Tune

PTF or Bren Tuning. Can't go wrong with either.

Wagner FMIC required no alterations whatsoever.

I've been in touch with PTF the past week everyday (made an order, incorrectly, payed, they had to refund, then ordered again) and I can recommend them sheerly in terms of customer service - havent tried the tune YET!

Two thumbs up for the service!
