Spare a map?

I'm looking to add a few COBB maps, not overly thrilled with the ones that come with it. Has anybody in their time collected a map that would be compatible with an aftermarket intake (K&N Typhoon II) and an Agency Power underdrive pulley? Or a better one than the stock performance setting. Let me know, thanks.

The calibrations that come with the AccessPORT are poo.

That is all.

Me thinks that, like the dozen or so folks out there that have already tried, that a five-finger discount is on this individual's mind.

5 finger, exactly! I don't have a few hundred lying around to get that last ounce of performance out of my car. I was hopeing someone would have had similar mods and an archived map that they could post up. I havn't seen any maps of any kind posted anywhere. No use having MM make me up a map if I just plan on doing other mods, dont want to waste any time/money.

problem is the custom maps are the property of MM and cant be transfered, copied, etc without his written consent.

ie; that's why there's none posted.

hey PaQuiN: not a bother, just unfortunately not a request that anyone will be able to comply with. As I said, the maps are locked and MM doesn't allow them to be shared so you won't ever see anyone post up a map.

There might be others out there making maps with the Race Tuner so just keep an eye out

I'm cool with the process. I just know I won't realize much gains without a turbo. So when I put that turbo on I'll pay for the program and start buggin' MM.

ECCchh....that Economy map is REALLY poo!

I tried it to see how many miles I could squeek out of a tank, but it took all the 'go' out of the car! If I wanted to drive a Sentra, I'd buy one, so I went straight back home and changed maps.

Guess I'll never find out how many miles.....

I typically see over 450km/tank with one of my turbo tunes.
N/A should be the same.

Wish I would have known the COBB is a lead paper weight BEFORE I bought it...didn't know you sold them with programming.

Ya I know...eventually I will. Could have saved myself $300 large, which for me is a lot of money. (More like $375 for me cus of that damned Canadian $$$...) I would send mine back and order one for you but I paid a bloody fortune in duty taxes...

That's too bad. I wish I could help you out there.
I thought the Canadian dollar was stronger than the American dollar right now?

6 months ago it was. The market can turn quickly. It's at about 80 cents on the dollar right now. Would you say there is a significant increase in power, economy, and reliability with your updated maps for my application? I know it would be almost mandatory for a Turbo but just wondering if the benefit is as great for an NA vehicle.

MM provides a great service =) Seriously, offers really good customer service =) He even takes into consideration that being in Canada I can't exactly go out and datalog without killing my self =D can't wait for the snow to be gone and to be able put the summer tires back on.

And you should be getting more than 375km to a tank...I get much more than that on a stock map in winter (my last tank was over 400km)
