meh

Check out MazdaManiac's AccessPort thread. All 700 pages or w/e of it. You may even want to read it backwards, but don't forget page 1 if you do buy one.

To buy an AP for an AT from anyone other than Jeff is pointless.

There are a ton of gains to be had from it, none of which have anything to do with horsepower.

this should really be in the AP thread but I'll see if I can help.

Will it increase horsepower? It CAN but that's not it's primary funciton for most of our cars.
It can help cooling by having the fans come on sooner
it can increase OMP flow to help lubricate the engine better

What kind of uprade issues are you referring to?

Don't forget to check the thread dedicated to AccessPort for the AT thread. I'll bet that's what your looking for.

the amount of hp gained depends on how good the tune from the factory is for your car. ive heard of some people gaining ~15hp on an a/t but some have had much smaller gains. i only gained 2~3 more with a dyno tune from MM.

however the AP has many other great features like jedi mentioned. its generally worth buying imo.
