I have an 03 wrx. Im going to be putting a decatted helix downpipe on with an hks hi power cb.
2 questions
1. Is it bad to run this set up without a tune?
2. Will an accessport ots stage 2 tune be ok with these mods for a while?
Havnt found clear answers on the topic. Obv a pro tune would be ideal, but id like to know if my car will have bad problems without one.(until i can get a custom tune of course) Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
No, COBB doesn't make an OTS for a catless DP. Keith.... come down and get another brew.
OP- you still should get a protune(custom) to your setup..... Keith may be trying to say it's ok to run that OTS map... which is true... but not for a long duration.
Hardware Requirements
: Intended for use on a 2002-2003 WRX with
stock intake, stock fuel injectors, and a turbo-back exhaust system.
MUST USE FACTORY OR COBB SF INTAKE SYSTEM ONLY, NO OTHER AFTERMARKET
INTAKES ARE CERTIFIED COMPATIBLE WITH THIS CALIBRATION.
I ran my Invidia DP the entire time I had my AP, never once had an issue. Granted now that I tuned my own stuff I can push things a bit more....
p.s. Nice minivan...

Cobb usually tunes their OTS maps pretty conservatively so they are safe for many different situations.
That being said it's always a good idea to get a custom tune if possible. Generally most experienced tuners can squeeze a little bit more power out of your setup with a custom tune as well.
Well if you read the Cobb map notes it allows for some flexibility in the map,(i.e. LWCP and up pipe) If you do anything to the car prior to getting the Cobb, I'd keep it simple and I can't stress that enough.
