COBB v403 Maps for 2008-2010 Evo X GSR and MR
Hi Guys, quick question, I have the Cobb V3 on a JDM 2008 GSR, can I use the 403 maps from the USDM GSR? or will have to stick to the v1.07 World market maps? Either way I get a warning when I try and upload the maps to the AP so I just wanted to be sure 
Cheers

really digging the new v403 stg1 93 for my stock 08 MR. acceleration feels a lot more urgent at lower rpms and the car feels less sluggish vs the previous 1.08 maps, which felt less sluggish than factory 2008 tune. i drove with factory tune and v403 back to back, and damn, felt like a $1k in bolt-ons upgrade.
gear change/clutch grab is a lot more noticeable now...more a of jerk feeling, even on auto normal. doesn't bother me one bit as i like the aggressive feeling, but this can't be good on the clutches though right? also, top end rpms still falls a bit flat, but i guess i can't expect much more from just a tuned 4 banger.

v403 (and older) OTS Boost Spike in Tune
This is no knock against Cobb. They are and have been awesome. Everyone should use the OTS maps as a starting point and have their car professionally tuned. With that said up front:
I believe that all of the OTS maps from Cobb will exhibit a boost spike when used with launch control. The OTS maps do not use the gear boost selection option like the OEM tune does. As a result the reactive and passive solenoid cycle duties are too high and when launch control is used a massive (28psi+) spike results. I logged this twice at the track and immediately took action to correct. The 1st gear boost targets, reactive solenoid pwm %'s and passive %'s should all be STOCK to save your engine and transmission. Once 2nd gear is in place - wham - then you can use the higher duty cycles on the solenoids. This is an opinion, but something that I measured and corrected. The fact Cobb provides the software to make adjustments for issues like this is friggin awesome.
Has anyone else actually logged boost pressure on LAUNCH with a OTS Cobb tune?

does the v403 maps disable DRLs or am i making this up? DRLs are mandatory here i remember seeing them on before. but they don't turn on anymore. are they just burnt out? i'll have to uninstall AP and see.

Been running v403 91 stage3 (ets calibration tables) since it came out and its been rock solid. Some tweaking with boost was required but not a big deal.
My LTFT's have been spot on too. Under 2%.
