I doubt PDX would write a direct comparison of their maps to COBB’s

Why not? PDX charges a premium for their AP with custom maps. People will want to know what they're getting for the additional expense. If the differences are significant I'm sure it would generate a lot of business for PDX from current AP owners. I'm really interested in seeing how their AP maps compare to their ECUTek maps posted a while back.

I don’t think you can compare the actual dyno numbers from cobb vs pdx.

Sure you can, but not from different dynos. PDX could easily dyno the base AP map then reflash/dyno with their custom map and publish the results.

We are doing AP's with custom maps.

 

They will be the same basic map as our EcuTek map. The AP and the EcuTek are two different approaches to accomplish the same thing, both load new ROM data into your stock ECU. Right now we are working on converting our maps, which takes a bit of time. Once we have a complete selection we will make a more public announcement.

 

For a LGT or STi the price will be the same as an EcuTek reflash, $799 for the AP and our map.

That's great news Jarrad. Sounds like the best of both worlds. Have you done dyno comparisons of the Cobb and PDX AP maps? What performance gains can be expected over the Cobb maps?

No, he means AP.

 

Tell me more....

Are you doing AP's with custom maps?

How do those compare to your ECUTek maps?

What's the price?

i'm getting an AP w/ PDXtuning maps. ships out tomorrow.

I didn't know PDXtuning did Cobb AP's. Do you mean ECUTek map?

but doesn't the ECUTek reflash require you to use an ECUtek dealer, i.e., you can't do the reflashing yourself?

EcuTek will soon be releasing two new products that will compete with the Accessport/Streetuner.

Ez-ECU is a package which allows the customer to flash program a file into his own car.

Custom ECU is one major step further and allows editing of a ROM file prior to programming.

That's disappointing to hear. After reading the post above it doesn't appear that Cobb is too committed to support development of new AP maps. I may have to reconsider purchasing an AP.

Is there any firther info on the ECUTek reflash product?
