Just went Stage 1, couple questions

06AspenWhiteSTi · 06-30-2008, 08:37 PM

He guys, so i finally picked up the AP v2. Went stage 1, car seems to like the map pretty nicely, just a couple questions for the other stock stage 1 '06ers.

I dont have guages installed yet, so im using the AP for the boost level readings. At stage 1, its boosting to 16.4 starting at about 3500RPMS, and sitting there all the way to 6500 then tapers off a tiny bit, give or take a couple .2 psi. Is this normal? Or should i be using another map? Also, I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and the only gas we get is 91 or 92 with ethanol. So i just used the stage 1 91 octane map, should i be running the CA gas map, keep in mind that im at about 3500 feet above sea level.

Thanks for all who can help. Also the car seems alot smoother since going stage 1, power delivery is more refined.

also, i was considering trying out the stage 1 with LC map. Is there a map that has LC without the FFS, or they can only come together. Because i dont really like the FFS idea, or the idea of having to turn it off by reving the engine with no load to redline. Thanks again.

the boost reading looks pretty normal. and the LC idea idk.... my friend had it on his stg 2 sti and after he would use it it would read lower boost for some reason and he had to reflash like everytime.

Just installed my AP stage 1 about time.......

Any ways.... I did everything it says on Cobbs website of upgrading all the firmware of the AP and the AP mangaer up dates and then I loaded all the maps from Cobbs map page to the AP mangager. Then after loading the maps onto the AP, I then installed the stage 1 map 93 (cause thats the OCT I use) but with the Launch Control.

My question is....what are the things that I need to look for after the map is installed on the car? Any special #'s??
Is there specific things I need to monitor to know if all is working well?
How do you use Launch Control and Flat foot shifting? (there video on the website is not working to show you how to use it) or Should I use another map & why?
Whats the best settings for the LC and the Flat footed shifting?

Is there a manual to show you how to use all the setting and what they mean in the AP while it's connected to your car?
Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated....
