johnsmither Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hey guys, how's it going? Recently picked up my LGT. Got an invidia catless dp, sti uppipe, and cobb intake on it so far. Just wanted to drop a quick question about the cobb maps. Do you guys run your regular stage map or the SF map? Currently running the stage 1 + sf map but I've heard mixed things about the SF maps. Might switch to the regular stage 1 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I have lots of questions regarding this too but from the little I know I'm quite sure your need to run a STG2 map with the DP don't go into boost without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 OK, I'll ask, what are SF maps ? For those MOD's you need to flash the stag 2 map. For best performance get a custom tune. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

derache123 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I believe the SF maps are the ones that require the Cobb SF intake - referenced here https://cobbtuning.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PRS/pages/98843715/Map+Notes+for+2005-2006+Legacy+GT+and+2005-2006+Outback+XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmither Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thanks for the response guys. Yeah I still have the stock exhaust but used the grimmspeed adapter to hook it up to the dp. Wasn't sure what stage to flash it to so I did stage 1 just incase, will put it on stage 2. Yeah it's the maps that use the cobb sf intake. I've heard people using that map get wacky afr's and worse mileage, so I was curious if anyone's experience anything like that. My afr's have been pretty accurate though.

Max Capacity Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If you can put the stock cold air intake back on, its good till about 400hp. I have changed the exhaust from the DP back a number of times with no effect on the tune. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Pleides Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The stock intake will cause fewer issues such as boost creep when dealing with a relatively unmodified car like yours. I’d keep the stock one in for now. As for tuning, the Cobb OTS tunes are for Cobb’s parts, so I would recommend getting the car tuned properly by a professional instead as you aren’t using their downpipe, etc. Where are you located? Lots here can give you some insight as to who should tune your car in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm located in Toronto, Ontario so kinda far out from you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derache123 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 tysparks81 is from Toronto if I'm not mistaken. You could also try asking the guys in the Canada subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
