I have a nice stage 1 map (or stage 1 with FMIC) for H910B ECM. PM me your email and I will send it over.

Hey guys! I got an 07 coupe s and here's my mod list. What map should I run?
Riss 2.5" dp, Alta catback, stock rear cat, k&n intake.

I'm running the stage 1 map now. Do I need an intercooler and piping to go stage 2?

you are on the correct map.

stage 2 is meant for 3 inch turbo back exhaust with sport cat.

stage 3 is meant for stage 2 parts but with a large fmic.

Keep an eye in the classifieds, they are normally there for about $500.

Honestly, there may be better options out there now.

Since this is the longest thread on the forum, can anyone tell me if there is a solution for the AP boost cut issue? I have searched for hours and can't find what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ironic...I tried to sell mine after totalling my 2011 JCW and there were no takers, so I packed it away with stuff in a box somewhere, and put it in storage in my parents empty basement since I moved out of state.
Now I picked up a 2012 JCW coupe w/ the N14 and it supposedly works on it. I just have to get to my folks house and look for it in their basement now. Can't go till August though :(

did you unmarry it from your previous 2011 jcw after it was wrecked? because if not, you won't be able to use it, it will be useless...

and it will work on the jcw's because the jcw kept using the n14 engine for a couple more years after the mcs's switched to the n18.

Yea, i went back to stock while waiting for the tow truck since it was going to the dealers bodyshop. I kept the AP in the car at all times, just in case of a situation like that.

Anyone have a link or any info on boost cut from the overboost? Or does anyone have a tune that helps with this?

With the Accessport, you can change the rev limit. Not sure if that's the same thing you're referring to. Its default is 6500, so when I push it to 6500, it cuts the fuel.

I've searched this massive thread and the forum, but haven't found anything so I'm asking here, since it's the logical place.

Stage 3 dyno charts?

I can't seem to find anything.

Alta used to have some info on their website but all that has been taken down. I don't know if anyone on here made it to stage 3 before blowing up their engine. I didn't even make it to a full stage 2 as I refuse to remove the cat and replace the exhaust system; as I think the factory JCW exhaust sound is awesome. And I ran into what seems like too much boost running the Stage 1 with IC map. Honestly, I'm now running the factory tune again to save the engine since my JCW seems to be burning a lot of oil given the current mileage on the engine. I probably need to check the oil level again now that I think about it!

I do love the Stage 1 w/ intercooler and 93 octane. That's the whole reason I'm removing the cats and doing the downpipe and exhaust. I can only imagine what Stage 3 is like!

Although hearing that engine are dropping, doesn't make me feel very good about the tune.

I'd take it for a custom tune but apparently everyone who bought the Cobb MINI software has decided to vanish from the earth.

Yes, keep in mind it's a mail order tune. And there's a reason that it's no longer sold or supported by Alta! Be mindful of what your engine is doing and how it's acting with the Cobb tuning software. Better to be cautious than broken!

If you have the H520B or H810B software, I can send you either a 91 or 92 octane map. I still have all 3 stages available from my original install 4 years ago. I never used any of them --- went straight to a dyno tune. Or, maybe you can call ZipTie Dynowerks in the Salt Lake City area, and ask them to change the map number to match your software --- they still do AP dyno tunes --- at least they did last year. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I really wish the tuning software for these cars was more affordable. I'd tune it myself is that was the case.

I've got the tunes on my AP already, but I appreciate the offer.
A trip out West wouldn't be bad. I could catch up with a buddy of mine who lives in that area. Hmmmmm
