    • Linear throttle maps and stock throttle maps make the same peak horsepower! The only difference is how the throttle pedal feels. The stock throttle maps provide throttle input just like the factory: the power surges is and you get about 80% of the the full torque target with only 40% pedal input. Out stock throttle maps allow you to modulate the throttle better and provide a 40% target with 40% pedal input and so on. It really just comes down to personal preference, so I recommend trying both.

    • Soner, the V3 has a much more powerful processor and increased memory. This allows for faster flashing, higher resolution while datalogging, and the potential for accessories down the road. The large screen also allows you to display up to 6 monitors in a much more usable manner. – Marshall@COBB

  1. For an Australian stock 135 (N54), we have 98 RON here.
    Would the recommendation be running a 91 Oct map to be safe (sport) or will 93 (aggressive) map be ok?

    • Your fuel quality is usually a bit better than ours here in the United States. You should be okay with the Aggressive map. You can always use the Accessport to view live data or record a datalog to email over to us for evaluation!
