Got this a few weeks ago, I mentioned it another thread, but didn't want to be a highjacker...

COBB Access Port for the 2005 Subaru Legacy GT

NOTE: there are two types of maps for an ECU

1. Realtime Maps. These basically load into your ECU without flashing the ECU (a Flash can void your warranty). they enable you to control your stock boost, A/F ratio.

2. Base Map.. these completely change your ECU. they show up on all dealer tests and are semi permanent

It has the following maps loaded on to it from COBB
1. Valet- will not allow RPM's to go over 3000 (good for letting a Friend or family member drive the car)
2. Stg I 93 octane 215 WHP
3. stg I 91 Octane
4. stg I Protune map 237 WHP (this is what I use)
5. Stg II 300WHP (catted DP required)
6. stg II 91 octane (for California users)
7. anti theft mode (car cannot be started or hot wired) good for long trips away...
8. Stock mode
9. Data logging function, I plug it in and it records my A/F ratio and spool time, I in turn send those to my tuner and he sends me a custom map. (for free)
10. Diagnostic mode. Allows you to pull CEL (check engine light)codes and then tells you what they are!


plus you can connect it to your computer for easy download of various maps.

the actual AP itself costs $645, I purchased it from a tuner who loaded his Protune map into it. For the extra $45 I get unlimited free maps for the entire time I own the AP.

as you know, when you make a MOD to your car you have change your maps.

I get them all for free, all I have to do is email my mod list and I get a map emailed back to me, which i download, then load in my car.

So basically for $700 I saved my self hours of dyno time and $$$$$ in new maps.

the downside...

1. it voids your Warranty if the dealer can prove it caused the malfunction/breakage
2. It "marrys itself to the car, so basically you cant use it on 2 different cars without unmarrying it from the first.

Damn you guys and your advanced OBDII

would it be possible to use on my truck since its just OBD-II or do they only make them for certain cars?

I love this thing!!

resale on it is $600, so I can use it for a year and only lose $100 on resale!

best investment mod you can buy.
made for the 2005 Legacy GT, Outback specifically.

Let me take a look and I will see if I can find one for your truck
EDIT:
This is basically the same thing

nahh the jet chip is a piece of shit, there are programers from hypertech and superchips which are basically the same thing as what you are using just not as advanced. But i think it would be nicer to have the ability to dl data onto a laptop and then send it in then get an email back to dl back on to the programer for a retune rather than ship the hole programer after a cam swap or something and not even get as advanced programing on it.

Trust me Lumina, an OBDII W-Body is nothing special. I used to own one back in my dark days.

That thing kicks ass, definitely worth the price. I paid something like $225 and will be getting a $100 dyno/street tune. But I will need to pay money to get tunes after that as well, so this sounds like it's absolutely worth the money. :yesway:
