IMO there is no comparison, having experienced both.Having trouble loading this at work, how does the gains stack up vs. RaceChip piggyback?
Dragstrip results once I get it.The AccessPort downloads a copy of the "stock" ECU programming so , in theory , you can reflash the ECU back to an identical copy of the factory ECU programming before going in for a service - in theory that should pass a "checksum" test.Is the Cobb tune detectable when "uninstalled"? In other words will it void the warranty?
Everything is eventually detectable, if you want to preserve your warranty, you may not want to modify anything on your car. The bottom line is that even a piggyback can be detected with modern ECUsIs the Cobb tune detectable when "uninstalled"? In other words will it void the warranty?
$1,295 or nearly half the cost of GIAC and no ecu removal... I'll have mine Friday! Can't wait...Any idea on prices ?
What makes this better than the racechip that costs half the price? Is installation and removal just as easy?The folks at Cobb used my 15' Macan to test their new ECU tuning for the Macan. The gains look pretty impressive. I am getting the Accessport tomorrow from them and will try it out. They seem to be looking at all new Porsche turbos (718, 901.2) anything else they can do to make these faster. Not that I'm looking to flog my car but if i can get some of the lag to decrease, i'd be happy.

Please, no pearl-clutching TLDR comments about ECU mods and warranty etc. I get it, it didn't come from the factory, there may be risks, YMMV, etc. No they didn't pay me to pimp their product. I'm nobody, they have a massive marketing machine. I just think this stuff is neat and tweaking turbos is fun.

COBB Tuning - Porsche Macan S / GTS / Turbo Accessport V3
I have run both piggyback and currently have Cobb installed. There is no comparison. The piggy made power at wide open throttle, but the drivability really suffered. The Cobb makes great torque and smooth power.I would love to get your impression after the installed... Likes and dislikes
Do you have a specific case where a piggyback has been detected and used as a warranty denier? I would bet that someone just left a piggyback installed at a service and was then flagged, but I am having a difficult time imagining how a piggy back could be detected after it was removed. Only so much data is stored on the ECU.Everything is eventually detectable, if you want to preserve your warranty, you may not want to modify anything on your car. The bottom line is that even a piggyback can be detected with modern ECUs
I'll do a full post/review once I receive it and install... I'll cover everything and be glad to answer questions. I'm hoping to drag race it this weekend but it's supposed to rain and it's very hot and humid here now. I'll go if it doesn't rain. I'll run pump gas since I filled up recently. I'll run race gas the time after as I want this pig in the 11's... lolI would love to get your impression after the installed... Likes and dislikes
