The only thing I like about Cobb getting into VWs is the added competition in the tuning market usually means better prices/products for us consumers. A little competition never hurt right?

I never understand when people say Cobb ots tunes suck/blow/ect. What do you think a tune from APR, Unitronic, ED, HPA, UM is? They're all ots, to work on a wide array of vehicles with varying levels of mileage and condition different levels of Maintenance Etc none of them are custom tunes. When Cobb does come out with support for the mk7 I seriously doubt they'll make any less power than any of the other aforementioned flash tuners.

Have u ever driven a cobb ots tuned vehicle before? Compare the ford platforms between cobb ots and Livernois ots.

I think most are only familiar with the fact that on a few platforms the OTS tunes were very conservative; particularly Subaru's to protect the rings(known to crack on the stock tune even).

With the advancements of newer ECUs the tunes will likely show much higher safe power, most likely the same as the other flash tunes on the market. Just look at what they are achieving on Porsche platforms. The real difference is all the extras you get for basically the same price.

Not sure if GTIJeff is just trolling, should be banned regardless.

Please compare cobb against Livernois on the ford platform.

Both are OTS tunes

I've been around a lot of friends with Cobb tuned cars over the years. All I can say is I wouldn't touch their junk with a ten-foot pole.

There are many great flash tuners that already know VW very well, and have proven track records.

Cobb tunes do indeed "suck/blow/ect."

Agree 100%. Unless they take the same car as uni and the others per day. Their tunes will never be good in my books.

You do fucking realize all the things I listed were confirmed by Cobb reps and/or have been on their official website... They posted the official dynos numbers about a week ago on accident and we were able to see them. This is not speculation, the tuners are already receiving their AP's to sell. Now if you don't have something positive to say, then fuck off. This is a place for the community to learn and we don't need people like you.


You need to lighten up guy...I was playing around at first, but you seem to take this personally.

Stop acting like there is a ton of information out there on this because there isn't.

But I guess it's not a day until you get offended and try to argue with Syria gets on the Internet is it?

Me cool down? This was your post: "OMG...I've only heard about this 10q9823098412093840980923485 times...please...tell me more of the no information that is out there."

If there's someone here that needs to take it easy, pretty sure its you. It seems like it doesn't matter how much information there is since you have your fingers in your ears blocking it out anyways.

Here is the video going over some of the features:


In addition all the information I stated was either confirmed by Reps online, or on their website. The beauty of facts is that they are true regardless of whether or not you believe them. Also I'd keep it cooled down, trolling results in a ban on these forums.

Ok...that's the video I referred to multiple times...it does not have a ton of info at all.

And why would I get banned? You were the one that started talking shit...I'm merely standing behind my stance that there is NOT a ton of information

In my experience with the BMW Cobb AP, their maps weren't too short on power. They were actually making excellent power on pump gas. Before the AP, piggybacks were the only mainstream tuning solution on that platform.

That's why I said "In addition all the information I stated was either confirmed by Reps online, or on their website. "

So this list of information has been confirmed by Cobb sources.
Data logging
V-Dyno's
CEL Reading
CEL Clearing
What Maps it will have
Original burn time and regular burn time
Hardware Information
Estimated WHP numbers for each stage

Here's what you posted in reply to that list... "How about you eat a dick. Like I said...a bunch of speculation and videos of that fat piece of shit trying to talk about "inferior tuning solutions" like they can just sweep APR off the map because they have a little clicker to play with.

estimated whp??? you really like a bunch of non-information...get with it.

There is almost 0 real information about this thing...you're an idiot if you think there is.
"

I think it's pretty clear you were simply trolling. It's not a big deal, it's over now but just don't do it again. This is a place to compile information to allow others to learn, not to post bitchy trolling posts. Also let it be clear that you understand tuners like for instance BDtuning literally have the Accessport in their hands now right? This is not speculation, tuners physically have them in their hands as we speak. Pretty sure they know what we be included...
