I like the multiple views of how to plug in the USB port...

I was dissappointed the term "wiggle-shake" was left out.

 

no speakida englesssse no understan - how about a Danish version?

 

Very nice vid!

 

thanks. that made it perfectly clear.

 

my one question with this is since requests already seem to be backlogged a good month and virtually everyones "clock" started at the same time - i dont see 5 requests being capable of being done in 6 months

... but what do i know

 

hahahaha... you know what... the video is a good idea. But just remember, when you idiot proof something, a better idiot comes along every time.

 

Who is going to be the "better idiot"?

 

I would suggest myself, but... I really don't see myself getting an AP soon for fairly obvious reasons.

 

I cant wait to get my hands on any thing "Idiot-proof"

 

Really, it not something you would know without having tried to install an AccessPORT in the first place.

 

yep... I had the same issue... only mine was a 2004 and showed up as a 2005 california.

 

I'm on the road until Monday night.

 

If MM approves I could forward the email he sent me a couple days ago... though I dont want to **** him off/loose my service in the event he doesn't approve.

 

yeah, I know what you mean... I use .mac for my email so the night when mine got in, he sent those files to me, and when I was ready to install it, they had taken them down for the update with the iphone coming out... I'm not exactly patient with new toys you have more of a reason though, so hopefully he'll reply. I cant guarantee how early I can send them if he does give the ok, but I should be able to get them out tonight.

 

OK This thread is 137+pages long so I'm just going to ask this and Jeff or anyone can PM me or reply in this thread.
What kind of HP gains shoud we see on a N/A car with BPU and the Cobb AccessPort?
Thanks,
-Gil

 

what is a bpu and fking search newb!!

btw, best guess is without a bpu as i have no idea that it is or does is. ~10 whp.

but the flash does lots of other stuff that is really really good.

btw, dont have one. i just know what the flashes do.

beers

 

hmm... bpu... this is the search results on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...ulltext=Search

this is the closest match I could find (only one that abbreviated correctly): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_People%27s_Union

so how much hp does the bulgarian people's union add?

 

From what I have seen, the limitations for whp for an N/A setup is going to depend on whether or not you have the stock CAT still bolted onto the car.

10 WHP is a pretty good baseline. Beyond that will depend on available bolt ons and how aggressive the tune is, fuel you're running etc.

Still, buying this device for just the increase in power ignores the other awesome functions it provides which will vastly increase the life of your motor, gas mileage, and allow you to customize the car the way you want it.

 

Thanks man.
BPU = Basic Peformanc Upgrades lol

 

Call me a newb

Did MM made any general flash that works for most cars like RB does ?

Im asking because Im not looking to push it to the limits I just want something better than OE thats not too aggressive, and I will be able to do something else with it in the future (Turbo, for example)

If I get it today, will I be able to get it by tomorrow ? (assume next day shipping)

 

it's breaking up quite a bit. You might need new coils.

 

they're a wear item. Usually not. But some service TSB/Recalls will ask that they replace 2 or all of them.

 

That's basically what the initial set of tunes that he e-mails you are. There is some initial customization depending on the info that you send him about your car, but to my understanding the initial tune that he sends is very "safe" and general. Just gotta make sure the car is running smooth and check on the AFRs initially with the AP. From there, it's up to you to request customizations, optimize by working with data loggers, etc.

 

it really depends on which dealership u go.

Wayne Replaced all my plugs and coils. no questions ask. and Im @ 43K miles.

I see hmm .... thx

 

the stock coils are prone to dying, 22k miles isn't out of the ordinary. I was replacing them once a year even if they showed no signs of problems because I wanted to make sure they were in tip top shape.
