What should I do about tuning my X?

Should I get COBB Tuning AccesPort or tune it on a dyno? My plans for the car is bigger cams, gt3076r turbo kit, fuel rail with bigger injectors, full intake and exhaust. What do you recommend and why?

You're going to need a custom tune no matter which ECU management route you take.

The Cobb AP has standard maps that are only for bolt-ons like intake and exhaust. With a bigger turbo, injectors and such you are going to need a custom tune from an authorized AP tuner. You can always just get it custom tuned with EcuFlash or Ecutek too if there is a tuner in your area that uses that instead.

I had Cobb Stage 2 for my 2002 WRX and I loved it, but it only had bolt ons.

Can anyone recommend a tuner on the east coast?
