GT_NKY Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 i am starting to think it's about money. maybe not enough owners to get them to see it as economically viable? according to the latest "wait till sema" thread...sounds more like a back burner project for cobb. maybe they simply just don't want to admit it. even if it's on the back burner now, it will become a priority once a new sti arrives w/ canbus in early 08 there is no need to wait for cobb though... other options are already here...

rudy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Can you resell an ECUTec license like you can an AP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005garnetGT Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Can you resell an ECUTec license like you can an AP? nope, not like a pre 04 wrx where you can just swap ecus either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo427 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 and...for all the masters of knowledge on the 05-08 legacy platform, can anyone confirm if it is the same box or different? they are already swearing it is the tcu doing the tranny. i wonder what aklgt did. hmmmm. black magic sure is secretive. AKLGT had her transmission valve body reworked plus ECU work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005garnetGT Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 AKLGT had her transmission valve body reworked plus ECU work right, but reflashing the TCU is a lot easier then having to send out your valvebody for an expensive service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 right, but reflashing the TCU is a lot easier then having to send out your valvebody for an expensive service i am curious on the 07 power at around 7k rpm's. i would love to extend the 6500. or at least make the car actually shift at 6500.

Neurodancer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't want to continue the rumor-mongering, but I called Cobb today about a separate issue and while I had them on the phone asked them about the AP. I was told that there is more demand for the LGT AP than any other current project and now that the Evo AP is out, this is at the top of their list. I said that I heard the rumor that it won't be out until after SEMA as they are short-staffed, he said it would probably be "around SEMA." He didn't want to make any promises as we all know how people can get when a promise is made and not kept by Cobb, but we might see something within the next couple weeks. <knock wood> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmeat Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 right, but reflashing the TCU is a lot easier then having to send out your valvebody for an expensive service Was it an out-of-valvebody experience??? :spin: I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time. CLICK HERE FOR THE HOGZAUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmfspecb Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 11 months since I placed the order for the Cobb AP. They've got my $$. Erg. 4 months since I placed the order for the Cobb Sways. Still waiting. They've got my $$. It took three months for the Cobb downpipe to get to me. Once the product comes on line, I'd be prepared to wait. With that said, everyone says Cobb makes a good product. Just be prepared to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 One thing to remember is that the 2007 LGT is still a relatively new vehicle. I personally wouldn't expect them to pull an AP out of their behind that works correctly without flaw the day after the 07 models hit the show room floor. Working as an engineer in a short staffed department, I am many times put behind on "high priority" projects just helping out with shop floor problems that come up every day. I for one do not want a car worth $600-$700 more that stutters the same as before AP. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005garnetGT Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 the 07s have been out since june/july of 06... its almost 2008 and the 2008 lgts have been out for awhile now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimakf7 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I've actally went ahead and gone Stage 2 w/o a tune this past weekend... and it seems to be fine.. just w/o the impressive gains with a tune. Suprisingly, no CEL's so far. Improved engine response and improved gas mileage too. I haven't tried to imitate the stutter again.. so i'll update again later with details.
