View Full Version : Cobb Stage 2 ECU or AccessPORT question nwavant 04-22-2006, 10:37 PM Well I'm looking at talking the buru up to stage 2 I found a flashed ECU for $300 with my ecu, but I'm a bit nervous of hooking that up. Anything I should worry about? Is it even a deal? or should I save my coin and get an accessPORT? Thanks DaBoxerman 04-23-2006, 01:04 AM what is the ecu flashed with (by whom, and which product)? jettagt8v80 04-23-2006, 01:14 AM just get the access port its a great product nwavant 04-23-2006, 06:22 AM what is the ecu flashed with (by whom, and which product)? stage 2 cobb 91 oct mapping. What else should I ask? CynicX 04-23-2006, 10:11 AM lol someone has a nice racket going... step 1. buy ap step 2. sell the appropriate flashed ecu step 3. take the buyers ecu step 4. goto step 2 I would just look into the AP device. You'll have alot more options. As long as the ECU is for your year I wouldnt forsee a problem. -Kevlar- 04-23-2006, 10:44 AM get the AP. dont try to go cheap. youre asking for trouble if you buy that ecu. nwavant 04-23-2006, 04:34 PM What sort of trouble? ITs an ecu for the same year car, milage should not harm the programing, and its saving me a few hundred dollars. This kat is unloading all his mods to sell his car. I'm just wondering if anyone else has a Cobb stage 2 flashed ECU and if they have any issues with it. I really dont need all the extra maps the AP has to offer. -Kevlar- 04-23-2006, 05:01 PM What sort of trouble?

You'll have alot more options. As long as the ECU is for your year I wouldnt forsee a problem. I don't see how that would make much money. It cost 345 to get new licence o reflash on a new ecu. The AP cannot be married to more than 1 ECU. Payback 04-23-2006, 10:22 PM From what I understand, Cobb does not do ECU flashes anymore like they did before the AccessPort. So, the one you are looking at buying probably has a very old version of the map flashed to it. There is nothing wrong with those maps as many of us used them for a long time before the AP was available. Buying an AP will allow you to use the newest maps, switch maps and give you the option to be ProTUNED. |
