Cobb Tuner

[Rican219]

How many people would be interested in the Cobb tunning solution for the MS6 if they release it. I know there are talks about it not happening and only the MS3 guys will be lucky enough to get it....... But I had a conversation with someone today that has a direct link to Cobb and can maybe help sway a decision but I need to show numbers of how many people want it before he will bring it up.

Let me hear ya.

The COBB seems like the only way to control EVERYTHING that has been p*ssing us all off. If they can market it cheaper than the Standback (and I feel really bad to say this cause CP-E has been with us since the beginning) they have the market cornered. Even with stock turbo, the COBB will help.

PLUS, COBB's are all stage tuned, so there is not needing to go to a dyno ... Unless you like that sort of thing.

No sure if you read all of the older posts..but i remember reading somewhere that they said they had no plans on the mazdaspeed6. Something about the fact that it's such a limited production..whereas they are still making speed3's.

Yes I read that and I stated that before but like I said the contact I have that I spoke to today said that if I can show him the numbers on people serious about buying it that he can push to have something done. This guy is not a nobody so I believe what he says and he has some pull.

I know every1 in the ms6 community hates cobb bc their ignoring us but we should really get on their asses, we need a real tuning solution badly.

[wwpms6]

yes i would love an ap! i'd rather have that then any other ems out for the ms6

[elesjuan]

Depending on the cost, I'm all in for a COBB...

What kind of control are we talking about here though, like Everything??

[mzpeed]

I would be interested too if price is right

[shadrag]

MS6 - $$,$$$
Intake - $$$
TMIC - $$$
TBE - $$$$
Being able to flash the F*ing ECU - PRICELESS!!!

[Dr. D]

i'm with shadrag

[RunningJon]

Based on past experience with Cobb stuff on Subarus, and from what I've read about the Cobb AP for the MS3...
if they made one for the MS6 and it cost anywhere around (or less than, of course) $900 I'd buy it today, no doubt about it!

[sbspeed]

I'd be interested in a MS6 AP

[SuperStretch18]

Honestly, this is something you guys can make happen. Get on the horn, email them, have them start a waiting list, etc. They aren't persuing it because they don't think the market is big enough. Prove them wrong...

I'm all for it. I have been waiting for the CPE PnP solution, but this looks waay better. Honestly, I would be willing to pay more than the CPE solution if this ever came to life.

[Igve2shtz]

Someone should post a "link" on the "other forum" so we can get this out to the entire community. Don't make 2 polls, cause then we would just get double posts.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but ....

Can we do our own tuning with the AP? I thought I read somewhere that there is additional software needed for StreetTuner and ProTuner that is not released with the AP. This means, our hands are still tied for people wanting to push the envelope because we either have to wait for Cobb to come out with flashes, or for the additional software.

Someone tell me if I am on the right thinking track.

Either way, it helps me because I am not looking to go radical, and just want a better tune than this factory POS one(even though I am still unflashed).

[ATE BALLER]

I'd be in as long as I can customize the tune. I have things done, and am planning on doing things that they likely will not make a map for, but if I can tune the actual ems myself for my application, I'm down.

[shadrag]

Well, at least some people at cobb say its still under developement. If none of them said it then there really would be no hope.

[that_guy]

Give it up, Cobb isn't doing shit for us. Fuck Cobb

[ATE BALLER]

Think about it this way. The first di car they have ever done work on is the speed 3. There will likely be some issues at first, especially if you go by their track record. Even the first maps they released for the subbies had problems. "IF" they ever do get around to doing an ap for the speed 6, it will be long after they get things with the disi mzr down to a fine art. The only differences in the speed 6 and speed 3 ecu's they have to worry about is the coding. Hell, it'll even be easier to develope maps since we don't have any limiting factors built into the 1st and 2nd gears to worry about. Also, the tuning software will likely be available by the time they get to us as well.

(mswerd)Agreed very well put. I'm not giving up and anyone serious about people some good numbers down shouldn't either. Yes there is an assortment of tunning solutions but this one Is truly plug and play.

[tropmonky]

Oh man, WE NEED THIS!!!! Even if COBB only puts out the unit with a single BASIC tune others could then start to support it... I'm sorry but Piggybacks are just lame.... The only real way to tune is by flashing or just replacing the whole ECU...

I want I want... the amount of time I keep my MS6 depends on this!

[Igve2shtz]

So, sadly I just went to the Cobb website, and saw they released the Legacy GT Accessport, and stupidly went to see the available maps.

I am now crying on the inside. I should have bought the Legacy, solely for the AP.

I hate you Cobb.

[jp4130]

Give it up, Cobb isn't doing shit for us. Fuck Cobb

Wow you guys are really bitter. (peep)

[Rican219]

Come on people vote I need big numbers to have a case. Or as many as I can LOLz

[Boost Addict]

Hey guys... not sure if you know me from the other forums, but I can try giving Cobb a call tomorrow and talking to some of the guys I know. I had plans to buy an MS3 for the last year, and have an 08.5 on order... But if all goes well, I will be picking up a fully loaded MS6 GT this weekend, and will certainly miss the ability to COBB tune the car. So I'm on board too!

Also, their SF Intake should be available to the MS6 crowd soon enough, it's just a matter of developing a properly fitting bracket.

Please be respectful to a tuner with a reputation like COBBs... saying Fuck them isn't really helping the matter, just showing some ignorant bitterness. COBB or not, I'm making the right decision is buying the MS6 for myself rather than the MS3... If COBB releases the AP for these cars, great... If not, I'll live.

[VRMS6]

if the price is right im in...

[tropmonky]

Even if the price is the same as the piggybacks it's waaaaaay better!

ARG, now there is the new plug in tuner and still no way to flash the ECU.... weak.

[TaCtIkZ]

I'm in.

[TaCtIkZ]

Not sure about this, but under Mazdaspeed6 on their site, there's a pic of an accessport with "under development" over it? Is this new? I'd hands down go for a flash programmer to tune rather than any piggyback system. At this point, even all the comparisons between all the piggybacks, I'm wasting more money (Time is Money) comparing them all than if Cobb doubled the piggyback prices. I don't even care what it costs anymore, Cobb, please give us an accessport!

[bigtm792]

Yea i completely agree

A buddy of mine had an 05 Legacy GT and he bought a Cobb AP for it. The accessport had only one map on it and the car was bone stock, yet it still managed to turn that legacy into a fucking animal. Just imagine what it could do to a car with more power like the Speed6.

Come on Cobb!!!

[GioDiGreek]

I can't see why is so difficult to make the access port work for the speed6. The speed3 has the same ECU and the same engine and engine sensors. The only different is the AWD part. I want to believe that soon they will come up with something. The APtuner as divice (hardware) is all ready made. Is matter of changing the speed3 program a bit. (drive2)

The technical stuff isn't the barrier. The difficulty of getting AP developed, produced, and in the hands of MS6 tuners lies in that the MS6 is at the bottom of Cobb's priorities, it seems.

Prove me wrong, Cobb.

[obylium]

Since, Cobb is a legendary source for tuning in the suby crowd I would be grateful if they decided to dive into the MS6. Their products are truly amazing and if they do release the AP for the MS6, they will basically own the tuning market for the MS6 as there is yet to be a good tuning source.

If there isn't a good tuning solution for this car, people will not stay in the market for a ms6 for long.

We should all go on the cobb forums and post there for them to make one.



**Btw, they are looking for a test MS6 in the salt lake city area is anyone is interested. Please be our guinea pig for all of us that own an MS6. Info it on the cobb forums: http://forums.cobbtuning.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=75
