Has anyone else had an opportunity to install this yet?

I thought you would be the first

As I have said before, I’m not after a tune but enjoy hearing what others get out of the experience

No, someone else had that honor. I’m out of town so can’t install it yet. Box is on my desk at home though.

I wanted to update everyone and let you know that the exhaust flap tables have been released for our Protuners and they can now customize flap mapping via a custom Protune!

I installed my Stage 1 93 OTS Cobb tune today. I was amazed that the change was felt immediately in the first acceleration run, no "learning" for the ECU.
Was there an improvement in the low end acceleration? Yeah, I thought I could feel some
Then came 4k and 5k and 8k faster than ever before. Once it hit 4K+ it really screamed to redline. Much faster than before the tune, it seemed to me. I did 3 more pulls and felt the same each time, 4k+ to redline is breathtaking.
I've driven a tuned GT3 on track and while the Cobb Spyder is not as manic as that, it's 100% worth the upgrade.
Well done Cobb.

I tried to install but found out my AP needed an update. I wasn’t able to try again, but will after I return from travel.

I wonder how many Cobb has sold for GTS/GT4.

Agreed. A good tune on these cars really wakes them up, esp over 4k it almost feels too fast the way the revs climb and the acceleration. Coming from a stage 2 F80 M3, I am very surprised at the gains on this 4.0 given it is NA.

I really need to stop reading these threads. Coming from a Stage 3 B5 S4, I find myself wanting for more power from my BGTS. Must resist....

2. Horizontal axis is vehicle speed in MPH and vertical is engine speed in RPM.

3. You still use your "Mode" buttons normally. The shift schedule primarily affects Normal Mode with only a slight change to Sport due to some table interaction in the GTS. Sport+ is unaffected by the shift schedule change due to how aggressive it already is. The other PDK tune features such as Dual Paddle Neutral and Creep Disable (if chosen) will work in all modes.

4. You do not need to keep the Accessport connected at all times. It's a full reflash solution so once you flash your chosen map, you can leave it connected for live monitoring/datalogging or disconnect it and put it in the glovebox!

Andrew, how does this relate to a performance difference in shifting. At full throttle the shift points are at redline so how does the mapping change this? Does it simply hold the non threshold driving gears longer? Meaning I may not get an up shift coming into a corner allowing me to stay at a higher rpm? Thank you.

If you have a 718 GT4/Spyder w/PDK Cobb stated on one of these threads that only the shift map under minimal acceleration is effected. What you highlighted above is specific to driving modes in a GTS.

When I put a tune on my B5 S4, I was sure that something was going to break. The change in nature was so violent, I was really concerned that I would be leaving a trail of heavy metal parts in the street one day.
This tune is like adding higher volume harmonies to a symphony.

Thanks Shaggy, was trying to see if it would help at the track.

Hi, few questions,

1) Can this delete o2 CEL when using headers?
2) Can dealers detect and flag your car immediately after plugging in to dealer software, like they do at bmw these days?
3) Will these work on non-USDM ECUs?
