    Not really. However, @Bstrm; mentioned using mazdaedit maybe he can shed some more light on that one. Their website shows they support the Pu but likely doesn't have a huge following because Cobb used to be the biggest game in town.

    Quite a few. I'm Freektuned, then there's Stratified, Dizzy (who's a vendor here), Hypnotic (also a vendor), Purple Drank, and I'm not sure what happened to Richtune. Haven't heard from them in a while.

    I was referring to the handheld tuners. However, how does Freektune work? I assume he writes a tune that you download onto the Accessport?

    Yep, it'll be locked to your specific serial number so it'll only work on your AccessPORT. He can enable/disable the codes you want (like for EGR or catless), set your FFS point, idle speed, all the stuff.

    That sounds awesome. I wanted to have some control myself though. I am over 5,000 feet right now and moving to sea level in a few weeks so I will probably wait until I move. I don't want to pay for a tune twice. I may call Cobb and see if I can send it back and just order Versatune. I really liked the idea of Cobb, but them taking away the tuning program is B.S.

    And I just got off the phone with Cobb. It's going back. So with Versatune, it has the same features, just won't have a nifty handheld? I can still disable my codes? Are there still several tuners for VT?

    You can use a tablet for real-time monitoring with Versatune.

    I believe Freektune and Stratified can do tunes using VersaTune. I think DizzyTuning might be able to as well.

    And Rob (Hypnotic)? Pretty sure he also does, but don't quote me on that.

    Anyways, I think we thoroughly side-tracked this thread o.0

    What did I do today? Bought 4 gallons of M1 methanol! :D

    I would say slightly more functionality and, yes, less clunky handheld. The upside is you're free to get a decent Bluetooth adapter and put Torque on your phone for monitoring or get a cheap 7" Windows tablet and you can log, monitor and tune. Yes, you can disable codes as needed. I know the pool of tuners is growing but Stratified and at least one other well known tuner (name escapes me). Also Steve at VT is always able and willing to help those that self tune.

    Check the VT section, there was a group buy going on that had hit enough folks to get a $100 discount.

    I checked but the group buy ended a few days ago. I left them a message to call me and pm'd Steve.

    Damn, if I had known that yesterday I probably would have kept it. It went back yesterday evening. The Cobb customer support guy was kinda an ass and that certainly didn't help their case.

    Ordered my Versatune and installed my TIP. Steve at Versatune was more than helpful.
