Even though I ordered it for FI, does it still come with the NA stage 1 tune?? Id like to see how that runs before I put the turbo on. Thanks!

It comes with all tunes and comes with no tunes. As he said you need to read the instructions to see how his system works. You can pull down from his site whichever base tune you need.

Why and I being a dick?? I simply asked a question an got an answer that didnt help me. I read the first post and I didnt interpret AS OBVIOUS that the tunes were still on it. If Im not following directions, give me my money back, Ill get it professionally tuned, just wanted to help someone that helps the community. But if this is the thanks I get, then to hell with it, Ill find someone else to do it.
You were sent an e-mail (and a duplicate of that content is in the AccessPORT thread referenced in the first post of this thread) that explained exactly what needs to be done to have it calibrated properly.
You are being jumped on because there are hundreds of other users that haven't had an issue in following those instructions, but the few that have usually come in here demanding to be hand-fed and its gratuitous.

I think the point that is being made here is that you will not be able to get a satisfactory experience from purchasing an AccessPORT unless you are willing to read instructions.

When you download the Accessmanager and go the base calibrations you chose the one you need, none come installed on the AP when it is shipped, maybe this is the info you are looking for?

Power!!
Look man, Im not trying to start **** and dont need to be "hand fed". I just dont like being attacked when I dont think I deserved it. I am sorry to say that I have never received anything from you in email about my Cobb. I PMd Hund just to make sure my order went through and he said it did. The email I gave was Caman355@hotmail.com. Is that what you have??
Let me step back a minute as I don't want to insert myself in to Jeff's business:
My point is this is going to be more involved that simply bolting on an exhaust or dropping your car off at a tuner. You're going to have multiple back and forth interactions with Jeff and for it to work smoothly you'll need to understand how the process works and how the AP works to tune your car. the more you know and understand about how the process and the AP work the more quickly you'll get a good tune and the happier you'll be with the product and service.
Jeff has hundreds if not thousands of customers already so it is difficult for him to dedicate time to the basics of how his system works.
To help with this he has provided links to instructions on what to do first, how the AP works, and how to install it.
So if you don't need to be hand fed as you stated above you'll read his instructions and most likely be able to understand how it all works. Also there are a bunch of us on the forum that have been through this process and can also help out with questions. So if you have some specific questions after reading the instructions and Jeff is too busy we may be able to help out.

Dude, that was perfect, thank you!! I guess I was just confused because Jeff gives the option of "forced induction" when you order it so I assumed the tunes were on it. Now that I am clear that I download the tunes I want, Im set. Thanks a lot man!

I don't know if this can be asked here.
What happens when you install both the Mazpsport fan control kit and the Cobb AP? Which one commands the operation of the fans?
I have the doubt because of the Mazsport kit requiring you to replace the relays for the wired ones.
Thing is, I had the Mazsport kit installed a year or two ago, and later bought the AP. I installed the AP in cold winter so I didn't notice any change. But now that is hotter, I've noticed that either the fans blow at slower speed or only one fan is blowing. Also noticed that once the car is stopped, it gets harder to cool it down, to a point that the fan(s) sometimes don't stop. Water cools down close to 182f aprox but fans don't shut off. Other thing noticed, before if the key was on ACC, even with engine shut down, the fans worked. Now, after shutting down the engine fans stop after some seconds and they won't operate again while the engine is shut off.
I think that this change might be that the AP is now commanding fan operation but, could it be a faulty relay of the Mazsport kit instead?
Thank you in advance.

The MazSport system will override the PCM in the conditions it is setup to do so.
So, whatever the AP is trying to get the PCM to do, the MazSport system will supersede it.
Just ditch the MazSport thing. It is superfluous once you have the AP.
