It boils down to: do you want a "decent map" or an awesome custom tune.... O0

wack ass map, or custom tune. rre or wack as tune.

If you get the right tuner, you will never have to worry about going back to stock for "emergencies". in fact, i am willing to bet that a custom tune will even be better than your stock tune. do the right thing and go see a tuner. you will be much happier.

Get a custome tune. It's worth it.

you live in socal.. take advantage of the great tuners / shops around you

Any laptop made within the last 10 years and a $200 cable can also do these emergency road side flashes. I still have trouble imagining the emergency situation.

Emergency #1: Evo traveling on the 5 frwy, cow jumps out in front of a gasoline delivery semi, it swerves and takes out bridge abutment, OP exceeds rev limit accelerating out of harm's way, blows up engine, OP swerves into aqueduct, before it submerges, he whips out his Cobb AP and switches back to the stock map, so thatÂ* :mitsu: will cover damage under warranty, not covered by insurance.

Well... You have a 2012... So no dual/multiple map switching out for it yet, correct?

That being the case, if you only need 1 map for pump gas, get a custom tune. If you need multiple maps, then you can get an access port, and load it with the tunes you need so you can switch back and forth.

OR just have 2 custom tunes done and buy a tactrix cable and flash them with your laptop.

Either way, I wouldn't stay with the tun that comes stock with the access port for very long. Every car is different, so a "one-size-fits-all" tune is always a last resort for me.

LOL, I was/am. Moved out of SoCal end of August. Crazy thing though, I get to Michigan would you believe.....they have the interwebs to! lol I know, I know, it blew my mind to!

I don't think Cobb AP has an OTS map yet for the 2012.

Custom tune would be better since with will be specific for your car/mods.

I went with the Cobb AP since I have generic mods that fit the mold of the OTS maps Cobb offers.

I can always get a Costom Map later from a reputable Tuner OR use Cobb's AccessTuner to make a custom map OR go to Cobb to let them flash my ECU once I do more mods.

I use the AP as an additional guage and it also reads/reset error codes.

Coming from someone who has used both....

I'd deff recommend a custom tune. Its designed for your car and your car only... not a "one size fits all"
