xkazik Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hello everyone ! I own a 09 legacy gt for about 3 months now and getting closer to paying it off and finally ill be able to put some money in the car . My first though was a BOV but after reading a bit i found out its pointless. I want to buy the accesstuner now and want to know a little bit more about it . Im only thinking stage one and 2 later on , is it worth buying accesstuner just for that ? will it help the turbo laq legacy's come with ? can someone give me some advice please .

HDTurbo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The Cobb AccessPort is a valid way to tune your LGT. They come with stock Stage 1 and Stage 2 maps that are "OK". The AP can be used for remote (e-tuning) as many have successfully done, including myself. There are less expensive options - software and inexpensive cables for use with a laptop in your car. You should search the forum(s) here. There is a lot of information if you take the time to educate yourself. Forum members get pissed if you don't try the research first.

Strizzy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 VAGCOM cable will NOT work with 07+ LGTs. You would need the Tactrix OpenPort2.0 cable. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDTurbo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 well the AP is initially/theoretically more expensive, and you won't feel as cool as a guy feeling he has personally tuned his car via a laptop, but - there's no laptop, in-depth software, batteries, and you can switch maps, see real time data, log data, performance (1/4 mi, 0-60) and check codes with one (1) hand. E-tuning cost me $150 a pop and I hardly spilled any beer going to my car with the AP in my pocket AND loading the latest rev of the e-tune. Other option - Dyno-tune. Bucks, far away from you, a one-off, and ...did you see the vids of those cars escaping from the dyno at redline? **** that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightspeed98 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 pending my schedule, I am willing to let you test drive my AP some time during the week. Mine is not being used because my car is going through some tests. But, I am in freehold. Pm me and we can arrange a test drive. *disclaimer. What you do to your car in route, while testing and on return trip is your sole responsibility blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
