its awesome, you will love it. so much smooter acceleration and it even has live boost readings, not to mention that you can run different maps and whatnot with it. definitely worth the 600 bucks. plus if you plan on moding anymore you can get pro tuned with it. installation is a breeze. ---

TeamWRX, what do you think about Accessport? Worth the 600 bucks? I did a lot of reading on it, and i just hope its easy for a turbo noob like me. AP are really idiot proof. They are plug and play. Only real downside to them is that COBB kinda dictates what mods you can have done to the car, until you get into Pro Tunes. I honestly think, reading your mod list, you would have to get a pro tune, which would most likely be a couple hundred more than the AP. What turbo does the car have? ---

Where is that ed guy located. I want to just bring it up there and spend the 800 for a AP and 2 hours of dyno tuning. I have a stock turbo … looking for a bolt on upgrade a little down the road. I went to miracle mile and met a guy that actually knew what he was talking about. I also met a girl Kim that had a rex. Its nice to find people that are willing to help you out. ---

thats the problem he is out on the cali. you have to datalog and send the results out to him then he can create you a custom map. if you get in touch with him, he can tell you what you need. it sounded odd to me at first but then talking with ed and a few other people that have done it, it sounds pretty cool. and the results are great. this is the future of tuning. > [@Tw: Eclipse 5425 Headunit](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tw-eclipse-5425-headunit/24226/7): > > Where is that ed guy located.

Haha Starboy … Did you see the nice stall out when i left? That was so bad! I was putting my seatbelt on and my buddy shifted into 3rd without me noticing. He wanted me to stall out to make me feel stupid in front of everyone. Jackass. I still feel so stupid. As soon as I left i was like “im never coming back there again, they are cut up on me so bad thinking i cant drive”. lol ---

PDX does the same thing. Tell em your mods, elevation, what oct fuel youll use, and they send you the map. Load it up, do some data loggin and send it back and they will make any changes necessary. was definitely worth the 150. I run their maps on my swapped RS and my STi ---
