Is the AP worth it?

I have been doing some logging with evoscan, and playing a little bit with ecuflash and I was wandering if the AP is worth it. Reason why I am asking is because in order to tune my car I would have to get a wideband to log AFR and probably get a map sensor to log boost and the tune. But with the AP I would not need to get all that since the map is allready built and tested to produce power. I allready have the Cobb TBE, anyone that has the AP, does it delivers, for the price that this thing cost? Advice!

accessport

yes is a nice piece and the option for get the coob base map to start fine tuning the car is really nice, the option for live tunning is great , but they have to fix the cursor tracing is just moving in x axis,

i tried ecuflash and accesport both are great, both have advantage and disadvantage but i think the better choice to get is the accesport , the only dissadvantage is the price.

Got it

Got it, like it, race it.

For no muss no fuss reversible ECU tuning, with safe and reversible maps, I have to say i like my accessport.

I use it on my roadcourses, with nary a hiccup.

Other tuning solutions may be better on performance, but you can't go back and forth at the track while not knowing much about ecu tuning.

plus, a heck of an obd2 scantool as well.

EcuFlash - Free
Mitsulogger - Free
AEM UEGO - $200 ish
JDM Map Sensor - $110-130 ish
3 port solenoid - $100ish
Guage holder - $20-100 ish

pros - price and almost unlimited control of boost up to 25 psi (additional harware needed.)
cons - installation and time it takes to dial in

AP new - $695 + tax

pros - ease of installation and operation; TunerRace available for DIYers.
cons - price and OTS maps are not right for every Evo.

You forgot to mention the cable for Ecuflash $89, the 3 port selenoid is not nessesary, I take it is for increasing boost.

I am still thingking on going that route and learning at the same time, If I can find an AP really ship I might buy it as well, I would like to have the AP state2 map as a starting point and going from there with ecuflash.

In my WRX, you could disable the O2 CEL light from having no cats. Can you disable those as well on the EVO with the AP?
