Tuning Instructions
Thanks for choosing me as your Cobb Certified Protuner, it is MUCH appreciated! I have tuned hundreds of different cars, and thousands of different setups over the years.
To start:
Make sure you read everything!! Can’t stress this enough.
List your mods, and email to goosetuned@gmail.com with your Name, Year Car (model).
Always make sure your car is in 100% mechanical condition, as I will not be able to tune around mechanical issues. If mechanical issues cannot be figured out in 2 weeks from our start date, additional tuning fees will be required ($75).
Please send me the Accessport serial number. (https://fswerks.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207032857-How-can-I-locate-my-Cobb-AccessPort-serial-number-) It can be found at the main menu of the Accessport, at the very top under help, then about. It will start with SUB****** (Subaru), MIT******** (Mitsubishi), NIS*********(Nissan), Etc...

How to Transfer Maps to your Accessport:
Open the Accessport Manager application on your computer. If you do not have Accessport Manager installed on your computer, you may download it: Here. Update your Accessport via Accessport manager before we start the tuning process!!
Plug the Accessport into the computer using a mini USB cable.
In the Accessport Files pane, set the Filter drop-down to All Files.
Click the Search For Maps button in the upper right corner of the Accessport Files pane. This will open the Maps On My Computer pane.
Navigate to the folder that contains the downloaded maps.
Drag and drop the new maps from the Computer pane to the Accessport pane.
The new maps have been added to your Accessport
FLASHING MAPS TO ECU:
Plug the Accessport into the OBDII port of your vehicle using the supplied OBDII cable.
Turn the ignition to the ON position.
Navigate to “Tune” using the up and down buttons on the Accessport and click OK.
Navigate to “Change Map” using the up and down buttons on the Accessport and click OK.
Select the map you would like to flash to the ECU from the list of maps displayed and click OK.
Follow on-screen instructions to guide you through the rest of the ECU flashing process.

Tuning Instructions (Idle Log)
1. Load the map on the car, and start the car. Allow it to come up to operating temperature (let it idle for 10-15min). *If car is warm and is a 2015+ WRX, drive car out of boost for 30sec to activate AVCS (as well as Air-Fuel Ratio sensor)
2. After coming up to operating temperature start logging the car at idle for 5min.
3. After 5min with the Accessport still logging raise the RPMs to 1500rpm and hold there for 30 seconds.
4. After 30 seconds of 1500rpm raise RPMs to 2000rpm for 30 seconds.
5. Stop logging and email me the log. (Email: wgr073@gmail.com). [PLEASE KEEP LOGS IN THE SAME EMAIL THREAD. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE NEW EMAILS FOR EVERY LOG. PLEASE DO NOT RENAME MY TUNE FILES WHEN ADDING THEM TO THE Accessport]
6. Wait for the OK to move on to driving log**
Quick instructions
Log idle for 5min -> 1500rpm for 30sec -> 2000rpm for 30sec -> Stop log and email to me
Tuning Instructions (Driving Log)
1. With the latest revision of the map start the car and allow the car to come up to operating temp.
2. Start logging and begin driving (NEVER allow the car to get past 1-2psi boost pressure!!)
3. Keep throttle smooth, no sharp changes in throttle. Log for 15min then email me the log.
4. Wait for the OK to move on to WOT tuning.
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Tuning Instructions
NOTE: If you do not have a way to log Afr watch it and report back to me!!
02+ Wrx use 3rd gear
04-06 STi use 4th gear
07+ STi use 3rd gear
Evo X use 3rd gear
GTR use 3rd gear
Raptor use 4th gear (Manual mode)
1. Begin log at 2500rpm and go to 5000rpm.
2. Stop log and email.
3. Once you have received the OK to continue WOT log past 5000rpm take the car from 2500rpm all the way out to set redline (it's ok to let the car hit the rev limiter, just let off immediately).
4. Stop log and email
