Hi guys, just a couple of AP quick questions. I've done some searching on this forum, but now I'm actually more confused.

 

1. Each time you reflash (version upgrade, or stage change), the ECU has to go through a re-learn process right? If so, anyone know if its a set duration of time, number of drive cycles, or certain of miles?

 

2. Does the re-learn process apply to Real-time maps? If so, it basically defeats the purpose of reflashing right before track day then?

 

 

Thank you!

Thanks for your posting. The graph looks real good. I can see where the car might feel transformed.

 

Would there be a performance penalty if the real time map used is Stg 1 while leaving the base map stock? I'm just trying to simplyfy things if it's gotta see the dealer, but I don't want a performance penalty if I can easily avoid it.

 

I've done everything from reading the threads on this forum, as well as calling up Cobb themselves ask them about this same question. They've all come back and said its best to use the Stg1 as your base map because there's settings changes within the base map that could not be produced by the real time maps. I don't recall which settings though. :o

 

Things I've noticed immediately are:

 

1. Way better Idel.. not more shakes at stop lights!

 

2. Much smoother acceleration between 1-2-3 gears, where as before the first thing I noticed about the Legacy when I got it was the unsmooth acceleration at 50%+ throttle.

 

3. More power to 4th and 5th. Even at 2K rpm in 4th, I speed up much smoother and faster w/o having to down shift to 3rd.

 

4. Throttle response was much improved too.

 

I have a neighbor that has the LGT wagon without about 20K on it, and we swap cars last night and both agreed that the initial difference was definitely noticable. He's probably going to order one today.

 

Just like everyone else with an AP already said.. This should have been they way our Car runs from the factory.

Just flashed my car with the Stage 1 91 v1.10 last night. What a difference it has made already. Can't wait for the full learning process to complete.

 

This is probably the best $645 I will spend on this car.

I'm just about finishing up my break-in period. I noticed that my AP still had the older version of the map on it, so I was wondering if there's anything reason why I shouldn't just go ahead and update it to the v1.10?
