Evo X Cobb Access Port Custom Tuning

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Hey guys, this is directed specifically at you Evo X guys. We are looking into becoming pro tuners for the Evo X. This would give us the ability to do custom dyno tunes using the cobb access port. I have spoken to a few of you recently about this. I need 3 X's to commit into diong tunes here and I can have Sharif order the software. If you are interested and or know anyone who is, please direct them here. The sooner we have 3 commited the sooner we can get the software and get you guys tuned. Let me know asap ;)

[robb86]

$625 for the Cobb AP and how much would the tunes run?
I know we already have one EVO X GA owner whom ordered it the AP on here already.

Hmm, maybe I can be swain to follow, haha.
Sucks being poor :(

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Its $625.50 for the Access Port
$300 for the tuning if the AP was purchased through us
$375 for the tuning if the AP was bought elsewhere

[TouringBubble]

What about re-tunes? I'll likely never be a Cobb Pro Tuner, so I'm just curious how the process works ...

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Cobb Pro Tuners are given the opportunity to buy the software needed to do custom dyno flashes using the cobb access port. The Pro Tuner has to buy the software from Cobb for each individual car that is desired to be tuned. For instance, we woudl have to purchase the software needed to be able to tune the X using the AP. This is 100x more effective than the preloaded maps that you can find online from Cobb.

[GoBoost]

$1000 for a tune... oh what we go through for our cars lol

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol ya, but you have to figure that the AP alone is usually $695 and thats without a custom tune. $300-$375 is not a bad price for a dyno tune. Even the EcuTek after tuning and dyno time will run you close to $1000.

[ryanowarrior]

count me in on this!!! come one X owers join the fun!!!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

count me in on this!!! come one X owers join the fun!!!

Glad to hear your onboard! I need 2 more and the software will be here, cmon goboost and robb!

[blkonblk2red]

man so happy didn't by a X :-P the tuning process seems pricey and some of the parts :-D but since its new... i guess later on they will go down

[TouringBubble]

Cobb usually releases the user level tuning software about 6 months after the device is released. You can currently tune the Evo VIII, IX, Subaru WRX/STi '02 to '08 and the RX8 on the AP V2 yourself, but not the GTR or the Evo X. This allows the Pro Tuners that 6 months to make some profit with little self-tuner pushback, which is fair.

After that the user can make the choice they want and tune themselves if they want ... most people still won't do that. I don't blame them ... with the hours I've spent learning this crap it would almost be worth it to just let someone else deal with it ... lol.

Extremely good point!

[GoBoost]

Im not sure... Both mine and robb's were supposed to come preloaded with tunes from dynoflash (not perfect, but ballpark tunes). His came without it, and im still waiting on mine (wouldnt be surprised now if it didnt have one). Not sure whether i wanna drop the money before i deploy to have it tuned now, or do it later... Not even sure if you guys could have it set up before i leave!

[ChimpEvOX]

Do we get some kind of special deal? I've been rdy to tune my evo x

[bomjoon]

AEM dont offer standalones for the X yet?

im glad i dont have the X. $1000 for a tune is just rediculous.

tuning price forged has is i guess reasonable but i cant justify paying $700+ for a device that some might use just once or twice to tune their car.

[bomjoon]

rob i thouight you was gonna wait for the ecuflash?

[bomjoon]

Ryanne did you post this up on SE section on Evom? i bet a lot of ppl from there will be interested.

[TouringBubble]

I don't think the units come preloaded with the flashes .. .you need to DL one for your car ... http://www.accessecu.com/accessport/mitsubishi/AP-MIT-002/EVOXMaps.html

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Matt, I dont believe the self tuning software is going to be available to the open public for the gtr, x, or new model sti. the pro tuners are having to pay a great deal of money to even get this software, i believe if it was offered openly to everyone in a few months the pro tuners would get very upset.

Joey, thats a good idea.

I believe our price is very fair for tuning, its the cost of the actual AP thats a killer.

[TouringBubble]

It's already out for the '08 STi.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

It's already out for the '08 STi.

are you sure we're talking about the same thing. The software gives you the ability to make every adjustment, not just change the maps, etc. Its completely tunable, not just a basic flash.

[robb86]

rob i thouight you was gonna wait for the ecuflash?
lol, me or the other rob?

i already have the tactrix 2.0 cable sitting on desk - been sitting there for over a month now.
no solid ecuflash version available for the x tho... lots of west coast folks are rocking ecuflashed evo x's though, damn west coast beta guys.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

ya beta is out, but not any final version. Ive also heard rumors that it wont be available to the open public, but im not sure how much truth there is to that.

[TouringBubble]

are you sure we're talking about the same thing. The software gives you the ability to make every adjustment, not just change the maps, etc. Its completely tunable, not just a basic flash.

Yes, the new app that lets you tune ... it used to be called Street Tuner but it's something else now. I'm not talking about the AP Manager software.

EDIT :: AccessTuner Race. http://www.cobbtuning.com/info/?id=4214

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

For some reason I dont believe thats the same thing

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

We were told as recently as this week from Cobb that we would have to purchase the software from them to do custom tuning on the new STi's. Considering the high cost it was going to be I dont see how it would be free to the open public.

[GoBoost]

Bubble, Al @ Dynoflash said that he had already made good stage maps on the AP that he could preload if you purchased through him. Problem is, since he was supposed to receive them from cobb today and ship them out today, chances are he didnt preload them. That's not right.....

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

ug, thats not right. If your ordering through him FOR the map and he doesnt send it.... thats just wrong.

[TouringBubble]

He should be able to send it to you though ... AP maps are just like ECUFlash maps.

Yeah Ryan, I'm sure that the ProTuner software is better and maybe the '08 listing is inaccurate. But I've DL'd the software (for the '08 and all others), I just haven't opened maps as you have to have the AP on hand to install the software. I was surprised that the '08 was offered as well.

I'll have to look into it more on my end. I know the link you sent said beta version but even so I think ive confused myself a bit, lol. In any case I know the X software is not currently available. Thanks for the info Matt ;)

[GoBoost]

Just curious... how long would it take to get the software and be able to tune with it? (as the shop)

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

As soon as we have 3 commited, about a week till the software gets here. Then its just a matter of you coming in to have us tune it.

[robb86]

so retune pricing will also be around $300?

[hope666]

We were told as recently as this week from Cobb that we would have to purchase the software from them to do custom tuning on the new STi's. Considering the high cost it was going to be I dont see how it would be free to the open public.

Probably because is like purchasing license if you will use their software to tune and charge for it. Same like open source software for computer servers. As long as you are using it yourself it's free but when you are using it to make money on it you have to pay license fee.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

so retune pricing will also be around $300?

we could probably workout a deal for retunes, I'll see what I can workout with Sharif tomorow

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ok guys heres the deal. I talked to Sharif today and got this worked out for you.

I NEED 2 OWNERS TO COMMIT TO THIS!!!

Only 2 and we can get the software here asap. No backing out, I need 2 solid commits to this.

Rob to answer your question, 1st custom tune is $300 and if you need a retune it will only be $150. Let me know who is on board for this and lets get this in the works! ;)

[robb86]

I'm in in Sharif can guarantee me a 506hp&482tq dyno sheet.
I kid, I keed... I'm broke - hella broke, I hate Christmas.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

:( well I still need 2 to make this happen

[ryanowarrior]

i'll do it!!!!! come on one of you X owners!!! lets get this done!

[ChimpEvOX]

hey ryan, i am andrew with the white evo x if you remember... i came and got my exhaust redid along with boost cont install. I AM DOWWN as i told you before i was waiting for the ECUflash.. I am going to head over to ur shop once you get it in... LET ME KNOW!!!! i will NOT back down.

[SupremeX]

I am waiting on EcuFlash also, but I might do this.

[ryanowarrior]

alright we got 2 now!!!! Ryan lets get this started lol!!!!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I'll have Sharif get the software asap. ;)

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

hey ryan, i am andrew with the white evo x if you remember... i came and got my exhaust redid along with boost cont install. I AM DOWWN as i told you before i was waiting for the ECUflash.. I am going to head over to ur shop once you get it in... LET ME KNOW!!!! i will NOT back down.

Hey man, ya of course I remember. ECUflash has still not been released in final version, but its said to be just weeks away. The AP I think is the way to go on the newer cars, I've been very impressed on the results from the G37 and the GTR.

[ryanowarrior]

sound good man!!! so what you think it will be before or after christmas Ryan??

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Just confirming that ryanowarrior and chimpevox are on board for the AP Custom Tuning. I cant wait to get you guys in here and see how this does. Remember as I listed before, if you upgrade your mods after the tune you can come back in and have a retune done for $150 at any time ;)

[ChimpEvOX]

do we still have to order a seperate AP?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

do we still have to order a seperate AP?

unfortunately yes, the AP goes for $625.50 until the end of the year and then they will be going back up to their normal pricing of $695. The cost of the tune is on top of the purchase of the AP.

[ChimpEvOX]

so even with the AP you guys still need your own software to do tuning?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

We can do a basic flash that is provided with the AP. This is what you usually pay for. However, Cobb now offers tunable software to do custom dynotunes. This is only available to a select few Cobb Pro tuners. We have to purchase the software through Cobb to do the custom tuning. Otherwise, we can still do the basic Cobb AP flashes.

[Evolvedgti]

Not that I have a X, or trying to cause any issues but.... Isnt that AP thing the unit you hook to the OBD2 harness and upload the flash. Then you unhook it, and your car is flashed. I thought that is how it worked, at least for the VIII's and IX's. What exactly is Forged doing that is a "basic" flash. Is a basic different than a dynotuned one? Maybe I am reading it wrong. I don't know!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

John you are correct. The AP uploads a flash through the OBD2. However, what we are offering here is a custom dynotune using the AP. We have to buy the tuning software in order to do this. When we do a custom tune, it is no longer a flash, but a full tune. It is used basically in the same way a ecuflash is not technically a "flash" but more of a real tune. Make sense? :) The AP during the custom tune is used to change everything, A/F, boost, etc.

[TouringBubble]

A custom AP tune is exactly the same as an ECUTek or ECUFlash tune ... the same maps are modified and the results should be the same given equal tunes. The benefit of the AP is the ability to log, monitor and flash maps with the AP device itself. The other options do not support this as they rely only on the ECU hardware and have no 3rd party device that the customer keeps/uses.

If you get an AP you can load any of the Cobb published maps yourself. You can download them from Cobb's site, save them to your AP using the manager software (also from Cobb's site) and switch them out as you like.

This is not the same as the custom flash that Forged is offering ... they are offering a custom tune for your car, your mods, your environment. this will be much better than a canned tune from Cobb as it will be dialed in precisely.

[Evolvedgti]

hey hey now, don't go adding a "H" where it doesnt belong! ;)

So what you guys are doing is......

AccessTUNER Race for the EVO X is available to racing teams and highly experienced self tuners. AccessTUNER Race allows individuals the ability to tweak their own maps files at their convenience as well as the ability share maps with others that have very similar power modifications.

Was this ever avaliable for the earlier evos? Also how is the new one for the X, I 'heard' a rumor back when that the VIII/IX version really did not like other modifications that were not also COBB!

TB, good explanation, thanks

Actually no, what we are using is not the same thing as the accesstuner race. Its similar in theory. I believe me and Matt discussed this previously. The custom tunes that we are offering are not available to be shared and actually cannot be adjusted by the owner, not even with the AP. Only a full licensed Cobb tuner has the software and ability to do the custom tuning.

I believe what you saw on the 8/9 previously were the flashes using the AP. The flashes that Cobb releases on their website are available for download. However these are really designed for specific modification, in may cases cobb products. If you have mods outside of the specified flashes they will not work perfectly. Even so, this is still not the same thing as what is now offered for the X. :)

Oh, and Matt's explenation above helps to describe this further :) Thanks Matt

[TouringBubble]

I'll break it down ...

Access Port - Physical device used to hold/flash Cobb Access Port tunes, log and show data.

Cobb Access Port Canned Tunes - Tunes available from Cobb for use on most vehicles with similar mods. These tunes will make power, but have a large margin of safety and therefore leave power on the table. These are good, but not great.

Cobb AccessTuner Race - Application for download from Cobb free of charge. Allows AP owners to tune their own car. Cars tuned with this software are custom tuned and a competent tuner can make more power with this software than you would get from a canned Cobb tune.

Cobb AccessTuner Pro - Application available for purchase by Cobb Pro Tuners. I assume this software opens up some more maps that only a professional tuner would need and also locks the maps after flashing. The customer can save these maps to his AP and in the AP manager software, but cannot access the maps or tune from this map. Tunes created with this software is custom tuned and will make more power than a canned tune from Cobb.

----

Do you have a link for AccessTuner Race for the X? I don't have that one.

[ChimpEvOX]

i have another q. can evo x users share one ap? or is it absolutly mandatory for each ind x to buy their own ap?

[TouringBubble]

Each AP is locked to your ECU. It cannot be shared. To uninstall it, you have to remove the tune from your ECU.

[TripperFx3]

^^^ I was wondering the same. I guess thats the way they prevent a shop from buying a single AP and using it on other cars.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Exactly, otherwise Cobb would be making next to no money.

[ChimpEvOX]

so then... whats the date on the tuning going to be??? I may need a little time to get my AP. but i will be getting it asap!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Its whenever you guys would like to do it. We will schedule it around you guys :)

[ryanowarrior]

well, just let me know when yall will have the software and i will make time to be there!!!

[ChimpEvOX]

Yep, let me kno when u guys get the software so I can go ahead and make my schedule

[GoBoost]

Any word on when you guys will receive the software and be able to tune? It's almost summer temps, so a tune now would be equal to the temps of when i get back from my deployment :P

But.... I'm leaving VERY soon.....

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ill find out with Sharif asap, Im currently on vacation for Christmas. I'll see what I can find out.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I just talked to Sharif, he said he can have the software here within a few days. I need you guys to call the shop and place a deposit down, this will go towards the cost of your tune. As I said before, I need you guys to commit to this, so this should not be a problem. Let me know if there are any problems with this. Please call the shop tomorow or Wednesday if you can. The sooner the deposits are placed, the sooner the software will be here.

Deposit price is $150 which will go towards your tune
Call the shop asap! 770-792-0202
Ask for either Sharif or Sandy, I will be back in the office the 29th.

[ryanowarrior]

that sounds good man!! i will call tomorrow!! ima just having to pay for the tune and dyno time right?? since i already have the AP?? thanks again man!!! enjoy your vacation!!! hurry and get back so we can tune lol!!! thanks

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

that sounds good man!! i will call tomorrow!! ima just having to pay for the tune and dyno time right?? since i already have the AP?? thanks again man!!! enjoy your vacation!!! hurry and get back so we can tune lol!!! thanks

Correct, if you already have the AP your just paying for the tune and the deposit will go towards the cost of the tune. The deposit is so we can guarantee that we dont order the software and have someone back out. Make sure you tell Sharif that you have been talking to me about this, we have a discounted price for forum members ;)

I cant wait to do the AP's on the X. The custom tuning we have done with these on the GTR is just amazing. We expect similar results for the X.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Were you guys able to call this week to place the deposit down? ;)

[ryanowarrior]

man i totally forgot to call, christmas is crazt crazy!! when will be the earliest i can call!! Sorry bout that

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

not a problem at all man. I totally understand, its a crazy time of year :) Call on Monday. I'll be back in the office, so ask to speak to me about it and I'll set you up.

[ryanowarrior]

that sounds good man thanks i'll call then!! what about that other guy ya know if he called the shops

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Im not sure, I'll have to talk to Sharif and see. Hopefully they will chime in here and let us know. Its the holidays, so I understand if everyone has been busy

[GoBoost]

Im interested to see the number outcome for these guys! i know im gonna need a tune when i get back in the states...

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

i still need at least 2 guys to call and put a deposit down to do this. I know ryanowarrior is on board, but havnt heard back from chimp or any of the other X guys

Besides there's no way for me to do a payment from here.

[robb86]

I want a TUNE so damn bad, its not even funny.
Sadly - its not within my finances.

Any news on ECUFLASH for the X?
I haven't been keeping up with the threads over on evom.net - been avoiding evom and all the temptations from modding. ahaha.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Hey ryan. i just ordered my AP. Did u guys get the program yet? I might be trying to come by the shop next monday if possible...

I still need a deposit from 1 more person for us to get the software. If you would like us to do a custom tune on it then please call me at the shop 770-792-0202 and put a deposit down. It should only be a few days after I receive the deposit that we will receive the software.

[ChimpEvOX]

alrite i got it tomorrow.

[ryanowarrior]

alright, maybe that will make three of us to get tuned then :) dunno ima not gonna do what all i had planned at the moment cause dang Ryan has stole all my money lol!! thats great man ^

Yes during the tuning you will be able to be in the back somewhat close to the car. you are requested however to stay by the bay doors away from the other cars that are being worked on.

[ryanowarrior]

if you have too much expectations you will be dissapointed. it always happen.

[ryanowarrior]

oh by no meand i dont have one expectation what so ever i really dont, just wanna see if it will make a difference that i can notice

[ryanowarrior]

its like my truck i had it for a while and then put a supercharger on it and damn the tacoma hauled ass.......that kind of difference lol

[manchi]

I'm actually hoping to do this Saturday as well. Ryan, you think there is any chance we can do the tunning this week?

[ryanowarrior]

he told me the software would be a week or so before it come in the other day but dunno

[bomjoon]

when you do goto tune it lemme know so i can come down and give yous a hard time.

[ryanowarrior]

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Let me talk to Sharif, I don't think that will be a problem.

I'm actually hoping to do this Saturday as well. Ryan, you think there is any chance we can do the tunning this week?

Unfortunately that is not possible this weekend. We already have 2-3 cars on the schedule for tuning this Saturday. We also have not received the software from Cobb quite yet. Once it has come in we can set up a day where all the X's can come down and get tuned ;)

[robb86]

Depending on price & when its going down... I might bring the stock x for a base dyno... lol
Sucks being poor & moving!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

base dyno is $80 ;)

[robb86]

base dyno is $80 ;)
No discount for minorities?
Wonder if I can get a gov bailout to cover my automotive addiction... I play a key role in supporting local and national automotive stores/shops.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I can charge you the usual $100 like we do to walkin customers if you prefer?

you guys are always so ungrateful :rolleyes:

To be honest, I'm not really sure... I heard about them on the radio...

Hahaha, wasn't complaining about the price... but seriously we need government assistance for our automotive addictions.

Let me know when ya'll are planning to make this happen

oh and how much gain would i see from getting a base dyno done?
(i keed, i keed)

[GoBoost]

Aw im gonna miss it :(

Well at least I'll be able to get an idea from the other X's of what i should expect (maybe)

[manchi]

Unfortunately that is not possible this weekend. We already have 2-3 cars on the schedule for tuning this Saturday. We also have not received the software from Cobb quite yet. Once it has come in we can set up a day where all the X's can come down and get tuned ;)

hi Ryan,
any update on getting the software? I was told the my replaced AP will be arrived on next Thursday from Cobb direct. Hopefully, Forge will be able to receive the software soon so we can get the date set to tune.

[GoBoost]

Ya seriously... I'll be home soon :P

[ChimpEvOX]

so whats the werd on the software??? is it supposed to take this long to ship?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

We have the software but want to do a bit of testing with it before we have everyone come by for tuning ;) Should not be much longer. Sorry for the wait.

[ryanowarrior]

ah so ya got the goods huh?? nice!!! what kinda testin are ya takin about?? just wondering cause i dunno lol!! tell you boss to get on it lol, na remember yall sayin that feb was gonna be a crazy month for yall anyways!!!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

ya it is a crazy month. It does include Evo X tuning though. Anytime after the 13th we will be able to do tuning for you guys. PM or call me to setup your appointment ;)

[ryanowarrior]

ah that sounds good!! well i def DONT wanna do it the 13th lol!! but hey its good thing yall busy man!! i think we all should still just have an Evo X tuning day though would be nice!

[ChimpEvOX]

i shall be free on monday the 16th. what about all other x's?

[UpSideDownDesi]

y'all will love accessport. Cobb has GREAT customer support, and AP is very easy to use.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Andrew you want me to put you down for the 16th?

[ChimpEvOX]

yes, sounds good... i will be there monday 16th around noon

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

We did manchi's AP on Friday. Overall it did ok. Boost was falling off really bad by redline, about 10psi! We are doing upgraded WG actuators and will be back at it once they come in. The actuators should help to hold around 5psi more by redline. This should result it some pretty good numbers ;) Stay tuned!

Also ChimpEvoX is supposed to be coming in today for AP tuning!

[TouringBubble]

Did you modify the restrictor pills in the stock system for increased boost?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

yes, top pill has been taken out. We are hitting 24psi peak, so its not a problem of hitting high psi. Its an issue with keeping the boost high close to redline. The boost falls off horribly. I have been talking with other X tuners and they have had similar issues. Best solution seems to be an upgraded wg actuator.

[ryanowarrior]

well dangit thats kinda not good boost fallin off so low, glad i already have a wg actuator, what kind of numbers did he put down?? any other mods to his car?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

im keeping numbers disclosed for the time being unless manchi wants me to post them. They were decent, but not as high as we expected, entirely due to the boost issue.

The mods were intake and TP, everything else was stock.

ryano, you already have upgraded actuators? smart man ;)

[manchi]

Ryan, it's ok to post the numbers. It's nothing secret about it. :D When you got a chance, can you email me the dyno sheet again? :)

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

sure thing, its been crazy busy today. I'll try and get it to you asap.

[ryanowarrior]

yea thats cool i understand, i would just like to see the dyno sheet didnt know he had went for tune

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

manchi, chimp just stomped your dyno #s :P

[manchi]

lol. what mods he got?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

much more than you ;) but his boost didnt taper as bad :dunno: redlined at 17/18psi. With his permission I will post up his dyno graphs aswell.

[manchi]

lol. can't wait to see that.

[ryanowarrior]

what all mods does chimp have???

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I'll leave that up to him to post up. I don't like posting anyone else's setup without their permission ;)

[ChimpEvOX]

hi, i got cone filter, ams fmic, uicp, licp, agency power full exhaust, hbc, AP... put down 310awhp.

sure u can put up the dyno sheet.. I would also like a copy if you could email it to me.. i forgot to take the sheet while i was there.. lol

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol ok, np. I'll get my hands on them and post them up.

[GoBoost]

Yikes, that's not nearly what I thought it would be with those mods... But then again you said your dyno is considerably lower....?

[ryanowarrior]

yea man it reads low, you can add 15-20% to that to get an idea of what other dyno's would read

[GoBoost]

wow 15-20% is a lot considering we're talking about up to 60 whp.

But the number on the dyno doesnt matter, only the numbers on the track ;)

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ask Dan what he dyno'd at with bolt ons on an Evo 8 ;) Im talking before cams etc. You will get a better idea of how low the car reads.

We recently finished a monster TT 350z, he put 656 on our dyno. He went to another local dyno shortly after and put down 834whp. This is obviously an extreme case, but just gives you an idea ;)

[GoBoost]

wow. nice :) Just curious, how much would you guys charge to add a bung on my intake so i can run a line to a catch can? Gotta do that soon.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

depending on exactly what neesd to be done and whether or not we have to order the bung or any other parts around $65-$115 or so. Depends on the situation ;)

[Chemwarrior]

Yeah, their dyno reads extremely low. I dynoed at 219 with full bolt ons except for cams, upgraded intercooler, and with a stock turbo. I redynoed at 306 after installing GSC S1 cams and an ETS 3.5" intercooler.

yes :) And don't forget the tune may have added a few ponies as well ;)

[Chemwarrior]

Those numbers were with the tune.

[GoBoost]

holy jeebus 219! i wonder how low a stock X would read....

[manchi]

I think the average stock is around 220. not sure how much on Forged's dyno. Mine was reading 25x on stock map with intake and test pipe.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

your actuator is here too :D

[manchi]

your actuator is here too :D

Wooohoooo

[manchi]

Hey Ryan,
my brother forgot to pickup the dyno sheet. Can you send me a copy?

[ryanowarrior]

well...how did it go today. any gains?

[manchi]

I heard it was 306whp.

[ryanowarrior]

you heard lol what was it before

[manchi]

haha. I wasn't there. It was 291.

[manchi]

i think it's at 24psi.. Ryan can prob give us more info. lol

[ryanowarrior]

ah good thats 15 more, whats the boost holdin at now?

[manchi]

I think it's 24psi now. Ryan can prob give us more info.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

These actuators are just flatout badass. That's the only way I can sum it up. Changing only the actuators the boost was raised from 24 peak 15 redline to 27 peak 24 redline, lol. Safely tuned and made 309 on our low reading dyno. Mods were only a testpipe and Access Port. I would highly recommend anyone who has not yet done these actuators do them ;) I am trying to get the dyno sheets for you. Your brother can tell you what a crazy day I have had. I havn't been able to stop and think.

yeah. He told me you had such a fun day. lol. Take your time.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol ya, I have never been so busy.

[GoBoost]

Ryan, PM the price for you to have an actuator ready for me when I come to tune. (dont wanna make the long drive multiple times!)

Is it a forge actuator you're going with?
