For the record, I don't entirely disagree with your sentiment.

As an only child I had a lot of toys. Nextdoor neihbor kid, 25 years later as an adult, admitted that him and one of my other neihborhood playmates where jealous so they stole a bunch of my best G.I. Joes and buried them in a field behind our subdivsion. No lie, messaged me on facebook when I still had that ish to let me know.

Chill, Im somewhat new to the community and I find some of those channels very informative, in terms of diy modding. Not all of us are planning to keep our cars stock / pay someone else to do the work for them dumbass

Correct, You will have to reinstall the TGV & EGR. Or get an Ecutek tune.

A stand alone is an ECU & Custom Engine Harness. Stand alones are not ideal for a daily driver or trackday car. This is usually reserved for racing or if you are doing a custom setup (e.g. GTR motor in a STI chassis).

Hopefully this helps… so I’ve found if you have the self tuner version accesstuner you can disconnect from the internet it gives you 6 days to reauthorize the program. Well I played around with my computers date and confirmed it changes as well took it all the way to down and was able to change the date and get it back to 6 so this seems like it may be a work around to this. But DO NOT update.

I mean I guess hes not super big, but it seems like a lot of people are going to him to get their cars dialed in for big power. How does watching youtube make me a snow flake? Lol I learn a lot about diy modding from those channels. This is the first car I've worked on and Ive done all my mods and maintenance myself so far, unlike some people I actually want a big power set up down the road...

Cobb flex fuel sensors are nothing more than a standard, off the shelf, available at any autoparts store, GM flex fuel sensor. It's the rest of the kit that was specific to Cobb.

Are there not any open source tuners in your area? I didn't even consider cobb tuning as one of the best tuners in my area uses open source

I was also a huge fan of erector sets back in the 80's. But my favorite toy, that usually broke within a day, was the Evil Knieval Stunt Cycle.

I just got a solid e-tune (stage 2) from torqued performance. I cant say how pleased I am with the progress made. I purchased the car with the vast majority of emissions modules like secondary air /soleniods and evap solenoids deleted. Im currently getting ready to move forward with a bigger turbo and fuel system (already have useless flex kit and pressure sensor kit iirc uses tgv plug in so im betting thats useless now as well and im just really hesitant to do anything honestly. i have a iwire wideband in the place of my rear o2 sensor. I have no idea if this new update will even allow me to run my wideband as its configured. I can reinstall all the emissions bs its just going to be a real PITA. HOPEFULLY the smoke clears and we quickly have feasible options moving forward. My dreams will be put on pause for a minute it seems

On new STIs, is the TGV motor and sensor integrated into one unit? I see some old TGV designs where it looks like the motor and sensor are at opposite ends but when I look at spare parts for new STIs I don't see the sensor on the opposite end. Would it be as simple as removing the motor and leaving it plugged in on newer models?

Are TGV motors what makes your wing go up and down?

Precisely.



I never had the Millennium Falcon but I did get an X-wing and H-wing. Seems like none of my toys lasted very long.

I heard that recently that even if you update the AP you can still flash old maps even if they are not green speed "compliant"

I just got my car ready to get back on the road after several years. It currently has a testing map on it and I want to revert back to an older map that is not kosher per the green speed restrictions

Can anyone confirm if old maps can still be flashed after update?

If you mean an old map that you have on your computer or on a hard drive, i don't see why you can't load it onto the AP and flash it onto the ECU. As i understand it, the issue arises whenever you need to use the tuner software to create/adjust a map.

My tuner said Ecutek is going down the same path, they are just taking longer.

Folks talking about saying good bye to Subaru, but aren't all others going to be subject to the same thing, sooner or later?

I suspect it's a matter of time 'til cracked version of cobb tuner software is out, where you don't need to login.

I agree. Its not the end of the world ... people will just need to get comfortable making a switch to open source tuning.
But I agree, I bet someone will probably create a second party tuning software that will still work with the accessport.

I don't see why folks can't just go open source, then use the AP to monitor the car afterwards like we already do. The convenience of the AP is the monitoring aspect of it, what do i care how it's tuned so long as it's a great tune and the car runs as it should

Mostly just to eliminate having to pay for tuning. You could purchase cobb OTS parts and pair it with a pre-made OTS cobb map and not have to pay for tuning.

That does not work in any place that has emissions testing, if your check engine light is on, you fail.

Open source works the same way. Tuners can still turn of the CEL.
The issue is software ... tuners can no longer use the AccessTuner software to modify these values. as I understand, open source such as RomRaider with a Tactrix cable can still modify these values.

I think you may be thinking of Standalone which yea, like me here in NY, is not an option due to emissions testing
