moncur_6 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 You can drive it, just don't push the revs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 You said you have a stage 2 tune, so flash that map and you'll be good to go, since you already have the UP and DP installed. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 You can Tee into the cooler output line, or you can get an M18x1.5 to 1/8npt adapter and put it in the trans drain plug. I say first option is better, some say second option is better. I'm going to do both...

BL_Soldier Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'd trade in that AP1 for the AP2 using cobbs trade in program. AP1 turned my ECU into a paperweight when I went to get a tune done. AP2 does more and is much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 AP1 turned my ECU into a paperweight when I went to get a tune done That's probably more a Cobb software bug issue than an AP1 vs AP2 issue. Either way an incredibly rare occurrence. The wonder is he could get ECU access for very little money, with great transparency, or get a Cobb APv2 for the same money, and achieve the opposite... Or do nothing and be perfectly fine... [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

Johnnyc192 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I have went Cobb 1 and now I am doing Cobb 2 (perrin) as my car permits(Down pipes, ups too, and intakes), (got me a wagon!) I would like to think it does well, I do 93 octane, any idea on the 1/4 before I a run it? without the wheel in the back, I want to make it weigh less.... other ideas?

ClimberDHexMods Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 A proper pro tune will do more for you than weight reduction [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

BL_Soldier Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Well something was rattling around in the apv1. Maybe it was the determining factor for my ecu bricking. I do like the AP2 tho either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you heard something rattling around in your engine, would you keep driving?

Hope you have new pan, oil cooler, heads, turbo, etc also in case the problem (if there is a problem) develops.

BL_Soldier Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Actually, I hear more than a fair share of rattles with my car. Five years old, 101k and I only got to put a couple thousand on her. I drive in paranoia daily. But I do the upkeep. Fluids, belts, tire rotations, and add upgrades when finances allow for it.

Johnnyc192 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Found out.... T'was a cheap windshield replacement... years ago during hail damage before the new insurance. I hate that thing, it seals but still. It makes noise. I think I mght be able to get a new one from PPG glass. (Lets hope to have it put in with a guy that has 2 eyes this time. !!!)
