Cobb VS Custom tune

I have a 09 RA octane blue and i am in Manitoba Canada. There is a lack of tuners in this province and i am considering the Cobb AP for tuning, does anyone have the cobb and how is it working for you. Also what are the Cons to the Cobb i have researched it and it comes with some good maps. I would like to mod but not heavy... so i say for now

Also does anyone if the tune would affect the car starting or running in the winter as it reaches -40C.

Is there any other options out there besides Cobb AP, remember its for a beginner tunner.

if you own a laptop or netbook the gst tunes are free and just require a 200$ tactix 2.0 port cable to connect your pc with the car.

Outside of that option, for a canned tune is cobb, or the mail option with AMS would yeild the best results.

Stage 1 is more then likely your best bet until you have a turbo back. More power can be made then what the canned tune produce via custom obviously, but its better then nothing for sure.

Thanks alot and how would one go about aquiring one of these said tactix 2.0 port cables.

Can you uninstall the tune so that the dealer doesn't know it was tuned?
Also whats GST's website and where do u go to get these maps?
