evo 8 & 9 AP Discontinued?
 
i went onto the cobb tuning website and it says the access port is discontinued for the evo 8 and 9, im currently looking to purchase the ap for my evo 9, and i dont know where to get it from anymore? perrin has them for the x but not 9, idk what to do? im really interested in the AP

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?

09Ralli Dec 11, 2009 11:25 AM

okay, is there any other way i can do it? like buy the evo x model and buy the obd II plug seperately?

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.

okay thanks,
now lets say i bought the perrin tuned maps, can i put them on there with ecuflash?

Kracka Dec 11, 2009 12:27 PM

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.

you can probrably send them the ecu and they can flash it

wow no longer ap for the 8 and 9. im surprised.

awdboosted Dec 19, 2009 10:10 AM

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.
