I'm waiting to see what COBB does with their current Stage 2 map (non-FMIC) before deciding if I choose FMIC or DPs first.

If you get the FMIC over DP's, you will not be able to run Stage 2. Cobb requires upgraded DP's and Any FMIC to run stage 2. But if you do Stage 2+, you need both DP's and FMIC.

Cobb Stage 2 will clear the codes.

Yes thats what I thought but Im just not sure what to do. Would the car make more power by getting DPs and using cobb stage 2 or waiting for cobb stage 1 +FMIC to come out? WHich do you believe would make more power? Im having a hard time choosing between staying with stage 1 and getting the FMIC then install the stage 1+FMIC or just get downpipes and use stage 2.

Good idea. And news on when these maps will be coming out? It sounds like a lot of updated maps should be released soon, just not sure when.

Flashed my car on Friday, found out that my cylinder 4 spark is misfiring thanks to Cobb. Don't you hate it when stuff goes bad on a weekend, especially when it's a 3 day weekend?

Serious question?

ATR is [freeware?] for people like you and me to play with maps. The $3k access tuner software is a suite and license for shops to tune customer cars.

Is it confirmed that ATR will be freeware for BMWs? Nissan GT-R ATR costs $695.

Good call, it was freeware for the subaru guys but not sure! I'll edit that post.

In the helpfile that you can download for the N54 ATP (see here: Access Tuner Help File) it still says that the DME is following a load target based system. Which as we know is not correct at least for the stage 2 maps. I wonder how you're supposed to finetune maps if this basic principle is not further explained there?

Anyway, I also hope that the new OTS maps are available soon, just as the stage 3 maps for upgraded turbos.
