The more feedback they get from various regions the better.

I sent an email to Cobb, and Jeff and I have been emailing back and forth about the Perrin map (which was supposed to be for high altitude). Jeff thinks it has to do with the wastegate duty cycle, but I don't know anything. In an initial email (before purchasing the ap) from Cobb, they, being at 4500 ft above sea level in Salt Lake, thought I wouldn't have any problems at all with the map, but...

I've been thinking and wondering if the cel's would stop happening if I give the ECU some time to "learn". I don't know...

Yeah but weird thing about the Perrin map is that i am at sea level and so is Perrin in Washington... And i some how throw a cell with the perrin map where as the Cobb map i havent so far, but then again i dont know if i have pushed it as hard.. but im sure i have. But for sure the perrin map is way more aggressive. Ill email perrin about the issue.

Now for the EWG would that be a good move to go for stage 2? Cause im willing to pay an extra $$ for something that will help me prevent boost spikes. But which one would i have to go with again the 38 or 44 and Do any companys even make them yet for the 08s??

Im running the cobb AP V 1.01 and the i got the cell 2xs all ready.. this needs to be fixed...Im very unhappy.. Im nervous driving the car now cus I don't want to keep resetting my ECU.. This sucks.. COBB PLZ FIX THIS

Why don't you just go back to stock or upgrade your wastegate if you're so worried?

**Digitalfiend** · 06-25-2008, 06:09 AM

I honestly cannot figure out why certain cars are having issues. I know I'm probably jinxing myself here but I have not thrown a P0244 code on the stage 1 93 octane 1.00 or 1.01 maps. This includes a few 4th gear pulls from 2K. I don't ever bother trying 5-6th gear WOT pulls from 2K though...no point.

spongebobnopants · 06-25-2008, 07:55 AM

IMO, These maps were likely not tested in 5th gear on the dyno. I hardly ever break the 100mph barrier, but I have a feeling this has more to do with higher speeds (amount of air) and the inability of the WG to open/vent fast enough with its poor/restrictive OEM DP.

Cobb could have probably adjusted this, but only at a compromise of lower power under lower speeds.

What I think would be really helpful is to log load and EGT's from a car that does and does not. IMO the car that does throw a code will be at a higher load and or higher EGT's

nytejade · 06-25-2008, 09:52 AM

Because not all cars, fuel, or air are created equally?

SirMattieP · 06-25-2008, 10:29 AM

What is bizarre out of belief is that i have the Cobb 91 octane 1.01 map and would redline WOT all the time in it, and never did i throw a CEL... But when i switched over to the Perrin 91 octane map and redlined it WOT i threw a CEL. Even though washington is at sea level like the location that im at. But then again the Perrin Map was much stronger than the Cobb, so i guess that makes sense.

So The perrin software is throwing the code also...but your on 91 oct.. has anyone with Perrin 93oct thrown it yet is the question???

spongebobnopants · 06-25-2008, 11:26 AM

I have not thrown a code on the Cobb S1 v1.00 or Perrin S1 93 v3 oct map. I recently upgraded to a stage two with the Perrin S2 file and all is well. Never even tried the cobb s2 file. IMO Jeff P. nailed the DAM on this one.

I also have to add. before going WOT and right after re-flash I let the car idle to adjust fueling for a few min. Then drove up and down the rpm range not past 3/4 throttle. Restated the car, then got to an open area to do WOT.

TeknoWhore · 06-26-2008, 07:39 PM

I also have not seen the code yet. I just went to Cobb Stg2 a few days ago. I have a Invidia V3 Catless Dp to Stock Catback and also got a full port job done on the hotside of my turbo needless to say I dont have much turbo lag anymore.

ya your not gonna get any boost creep at all with a ported turbo.. Im waiting on getting a custom exhaust figured out and then gonna buy a Invidia catted DP and hopefully have no more problems..

fungool · 06-29-2008, 04:20 AM

Both times I threw the 244 cell, I was accelerating from about 100 MPH. Both were v101. Stage 1 93.

sysfailur · 08-14-2008, 06:33 PM

Dunno if it's been solved but figured I would post this in here. Seemed like some useful info to those having issues.

Threw a cell 0244 at about 110mph in 6th gear going uphill with 1 passenger and AC on. My car is a complete stock with ecutek tune.
