After AP stage 1 smoke

Folks
need some help. Car 2010 GSR. After installing AP stage 1 (93octane) I get constantly smoke under acceleration (dark smoke - not blue), even under moderate acceleration. Is this normal? Is AP running rich for safety? Or should I be worried. Car pulls strong otherwise. Thx all for your feedback in advance

X's are pig rich from the factory, the stage 1 cobb mapp should be better, but is still pretty rich for safety. I suggest going back to stock (unmarry AP ) and look again, there should be even more smoke. Maybe you just never noticed it before you got the AP. It can be hard to see when driving, but have a trusted friend follow you and compare...

As suggested, if you are at all concerned with the AccessPORT being the cause of a problem, you can always uninstall the AP and return your ECU to stock. This is a simple and effective way to determine if it is the AP itself causing the problem. With that said, we have never had a report of a stage 1 map causing this issue. I would look for mechanical issues. Feel free to give us a call if you have more questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Sean @ COBB
