It's a handheld tuner for my WRX with a map. That does this: (Stage 1)

Haha, it just depends on the day and what I'm up to, also who else is out

I have no idea yet, trying to figure out where will work the best! Once summer comes around I can't wait to see what acceleration numbers it will put down!

I used COBB when I had my turbo RX8. Good little system. Why are you mounting it in the car? It wont show you live data, it will datalog, and then you open it on an excel spreadsheet. The COBB tunes are crap FYI. Id make damn sure I had a wideband on the car before loading one up.

Oh I just thought that's what people did, it has some sticky area on the back for mounting.

Oh really? I hadn't heard that, I've been considering getting just a custom tune from Bren or someone. I figure just a tune like it comes with is pretty universal so won't be the best or the worst. I'm fine with running rich, but could it possibly lean out the engine?

Usually the tunes loaded on them are fairly mild, I personally know several guys who have been running one since they came out for the BMW's. Mess around with the preloaded mapping before you get a pro-tune done, that may be just what you are looking for! Great product by Cobb and IMO one of the best performance mods out there for factory boosted cars.

Will do! Thanks for the tip! Ya, I was at their factory/facility and it was a super cool place. They were awesome in there!
