When someone runs meth/race then fine enjoy JB/procede.
But when only pump is available, to run them would be pure ignorance and stupidity. I cant believe its advertised as "map 2 intended for 93 octane" Show me one log that has not been tampered with that can run clean???????!!!!!!!

you can run pump with procede without drops since it offsets the timings.

Catback is it compulsury or optional?

By the sounds of it you are good to go. The 335i is less restricted than other 35s

135i and 535i are highly recommended to upgrade the cat back.

335i can get away with stock catback exhaust as it breathes the best of the N54 family.

How does the Stage 2 feel when boost is being pulled back from 18 down low to 10 at redline or whatever Rob said?

It seems like the car would be a huge disappointment as you rev it...

I'm very interested to try out the COBB stage 2 with my mods and I'd love it if someone could explain what it feels like.

Its already been answered but just to reiterate the logs after 5K are not accurate in terms of boost being measured. Its likely about 14 PSI at redline. (according to individuals with external boost gauges)

Maybe this has already been answered - but is COBB also available for European cars (seeing that enrita is also interested in it...)?

If you ask Cobb they would say "no" only North American cars. But I believe it does work on Euro models. I dont know if Enrita has tried the Cobb AP yet or if he ran into a problem.

slowSwede · 09-15-2011, 10:30 AM

Cobbs official standpoint is that they only support US cars.

I for one can guarantee they work perfectly on EU cars

When you buy your AP perhaps your version is not supported, Rob had a VERY quick turnaround when fixing support for me. Not saying this is the way it will be for everyone, but for me Cobb has really delivered.

If you contact Rob he'll fix any such issue in no time. I realize that they don't officially support EU models, but Rob isn't one to turn away a forum member or a paying customer.

Since I'm not Rob I can't speak for him, but if I was to guess I'd go with what you just said.

-It is illegal to modify the stock catalytic converter on any car unless that catalytic converter has failed and there is documentation to support this assertion.-

This would essentially allow for something more than stage 1 without illegally modifying your car.

Disclaimer: I will run catless downpipes in the future. While my warranty is intact however, I will run stock downpipes. I don't really give a shit about the legality, I just don't want to fry my turbos or roast my stock cats on stage 2.

Our next set of maps with be a Stg1+FMIC.

Cheers,
Rob

Are all the various map flavors going to come out with greater frequency, Rob?

Patiently awaiting the stage 2+meth map

Yes Sir. We are working on meth and race gas maps which I would expect to come out after Stg1+FMIC mapping.

Cheers,
Rob

Down for beta testing, hell just send me dzennos stage 3 map with 12a/f and plus 2-3 degrees of timing accross the board. That should do it.

thebigragu99 · 09-15-2011, 06:56 PM

Start the bbq cause burger is toast!!!Cobb is not playing around!!!!!

dfv2 · 09-15-2011, 07:14 PM

I come here daily looking for cobb news, this looks great thanks for sharing clap!!

Oh, and I'll paypal $20 to the first mod to ban vasillalov from any thread containing the word "cobb". So crazy annoying.

bigdnno98 · 09-15-2011, 07:26 PM

Rob I would love to Beta test the stage 1 FMIC if you're interested. Not planning DP till warranty is up so stage 2 is a disappointment to me.
