Modified boost set ups and other non normal mods will benefit from a custom pro tune
One of the great features on the Access Port is that you can start off with the very good off the shelf Cobb free maps it comes with and then as you go further with the car you can get a custom pro tune. It is a very flexable unit.

This is not applicable to Evo X application
Subaru has adaptive ignition control - Mitsubishi does not
The access port units will all have on board data logging capability it is in the works which will alllow end user to actually data log the sensors
At this time you could use the X unit to watch knock by looking at the gauge function and watching knock and timing

I will have them in stock early next week
We are very excited after reviewing the beta software last week it has everything that Ecutek has as far as tuning with all the familiar Cobb goodies like being able to flash back to stock on demand and hold a extra race gas map etc typical Cobb goodness
The monitor function is also a huge plus as you wont need a dedicated boost gauge with the on board map sensor

This makes the decision for some that much easier.

At this time that will require a custom tune with a pro tuner (race tuner) or a MBC. The Cobb supplied tuning maps will only work with stock boost set up.
Modified boost set ups and other non normal mods will benefit from a custom pro tune

Let me be clear on the distinction
Monitor Data is a long time Cobb Access Port Feature which allows you to simply plug in the AP to the OBDII port and use it as a gauge to monitor OBD II data such as RPM, Timing, Boost Level, MIVEC, etc etc (I do not have the complete list on me now)
Data Log is a NEW Cobb Access Port function in which the unit can be used as a data logger itself and record and store data logs. For example you can review them later or email them to your pro tuner such as myself to make adjustments to your maps.
Let me say that Cobb has really hit a home run with this new product.
I commend Cobb for releasing the pro tuner and the AP itself at the same time - a first - which really makes the AP a very cutting edge tuning resource.
Of particular use to worried Evo X owners about permanent modifications is the ability to revert to stock at the push of a button.
Also, no need to mail out your ecu - once the AP comes its ready to down load the provided free base maps for various octanes or other pro maps generated by tuners like myself and Buschur Racing etc
One more great aspect of this is the fantastic resale value that these command when you uninstall it and sell them used. Unlike a traditional reflash, you can recover most of your investment when you sell your car by un marrying the unit and seling it.
Cobb has certainly stepped up the game big time with this much anticipated product.

Thereafter, the unit will only work on your car until you decide to revert to stock and "un marry" the unit which thereby re-installs your original OEM rom in its stock form into your ecu and reverts the AP unit to new function and ready to install on any other X.

Additionally, I will offer free adjustments via email for those with the WGA.
You will simply tell me what the boost is doing and I will adjust it on my end and email you a revised rom.
The mapping and the adjustments will be free for those sold through Dyno Flash during the roll out.
