I emailed PERRIN about the high elevation maps and they responded that they are hoping to have it finished within the next 60 days...

If you get the AP from Perrin are Cobb maps are loaded on the unit or do you have to download them?

They are preloaded and ready to go. The Perrin map has to be added.

COol. Now, I most likely will end up using the cobb maps - if something goes wrong will Perrin people be able to help me out and if I need to talk to Cobb will they help if I buy the AP from Perrin and not directly from them?

I don't see why they wouldn't. It's like any product you buy from the store, the manufacturer covers it whether you bought it from Target or Wal-Mart.

THat's what I thought... so I guess there really isn't any reason not to buy from Perrin since you get an extra map with the deal.


Thanks.

After trying both Cobb and Perrin Stage 1 maps for a month, While the Perrin map is nice, I start to like the Cobb one more as it has more "explosive"mid range power. you can feel the turbo kick in and a surge of power in mid range.

I also like to retain the stock Si system where boost is the same for all modes but the throttle aggressiveness is the only difference!

How about a new Perrin Stage 1 map with Si system behave like stock,and tuned with 94 Oct gas ?

hey freeman... were you using the 93 octane map, or the 91 octane?


Any positives to the Perrin stage 1 map?

thanks

Let us know when you see any high elevation maps out on the shelf! Thanks!

I live in the mountains at 6,500 ft. and drive above 8,000 ft. every day for work. I am running stage 2 91 oct. and have also driven up Mount Evans in CO to 14,127 ft.
