Thinking about going cobb for now...

Okay, I was thinking that right now I need to save some money up until August, which means easing up on my car for a while. I was thinking that I could afford cobb and a perrin boost controller, so if i go with cobb will I be able to use the boost controller or does the ap not work with boost controllers? Regardless i will still most likely get cobb, but i want to know if i can use a boost controller and get like 13lbs w/cobb?

-If your going to flame on hear cuz i said something wrong then please don't i need constructive advice.

Weren't you going with Ecutek? If you're going with Ecutek, you don't need a boost controller. I think they dial up the boost by overriding the ECU and tighten the wastegate a bit.

Cobb what?

Cobb do a lot, you need to be a little more specific than just naming the manufacturer.

Re: Thinking about going cobb for now...

Why don't you rather save the money and go for something more substantial like a complete Stage2 or something?

If you keep doing little things trying to get power gains, you eventually end up spending more money then if you were to just save up and buy a complete package.

Damn, your probably right. I have my up&down pipes ready to install, i just didnt want to spend $1200 on a tune right now. I guess it can wait a couple months though. Damnit, i am impatient right now I have the so close but so far feeling.
