Due to low sales volume and a complex OBD-II plug that is specific only to the EVO 8/9, we have indeed discontinued the AccessPORT for these cars. We will still support warranty issues and some software and map options, but going forward there will be no new developments or new AccessPORTs for these cars.

Are you going to now offer ECUFlash tuning on-site for the VIII/IX?

Just use ECUFlash. If you don't know how to tune and don't have a good local tuner (you aren't that far from Minneapolis or Chicago, both have great tuners) contact Melon for a remote-tune.

If you buy AP maps you'll need an AP unit, but, off-the-shelf tunes are stupid, getting a custom tune for your car and mods is definitely the way to go.

My advice: Drive 5 hours west and visit Shane at DB Performance in Rogers, MN. He is the best midwest tuner IMO. Easy day-trip and definitely worth it; you'll leave with a terrific tune on your car plus learn quite a bit in the process.

Perhaps Cobb will have off-the-shelf ecuFlash tunes to sell ya, then offer custom dyno tuning. Evoflash is an awesomely powerful tool, and best thing is its free That way you can pay cobb to actually tune your car, not for just the hardware and some generic base maps.

Im not. Look how far ECUFlash has come.. They have so many options with all the Tephra mods and Speed density!! It's hard to keep up with.. There is almost no need to go to a standalone like AEM EMS. The only benefits of EMS is The logging capabilities and on the fly adjustments.
