    I would love to do this and give it a shot, but I don’t have the means to download the software currently. By which I mean, I don’t have 150 smackers to pay for this course that’s demanded to be taken. Is there any other way I could get this adjusted, preferably for free?

    No unfortunately you have to either have your tuner do it for you or you pay the 150, pass the course the Cobb offers and allows you to download Access Tuner for your AP. No way around it. I cant load your tune and make the adjustments as it is locked to your AP

    Gotcha. I sent another email with the map sensor just to make sure I provided a copy of the numbers. Hopefully I can get word back eventually on it. I appreciate the help. I’m assuming that’s probably where all the problems are coming from. Thanks to everyone who replied. Hope y’all all have a good weekend!

    Hey everyone. Just to give a small update, I got an email back from Freektune stating that the scalars were entered so the tune wasn’t the issue. He believes it’s probably the MAP sensor. Due to the issues I’m not sure that it’s all faulty MAP sensor, but that’s all that’s left really. I did find out I had a broken fuel injector sensor plug, I fixed it and imagined it might have adjusted the situation. Sadly it didn’t. Haha. So at this point I’m just waiting on word from CorkSport. If anybody has any other suggestions for me to look into, I’m all ears for them. Aside from that, thanks to everyone who tried to help. Have a great weekend/holiday!

    If Justin thinks it's the map sensor it probably is are You running a CS map sensor? Good change its faulty go get a Bosch one and be happy not having to worry about the map sensor failing. I'm so sick of hearing about CS map sensor failures. I know people out there run them without issue but I can only think of one person off the top of my head.

    Yeah. I was unaware it was a common fault. The only reason I’m running with it is due to it being included with the CST4 turbo. I’ll probably swap it in the long run, but currently I’ll take a warranty one just to get on the road. If they dispute the warranty then I’ll probably go spend the money on a Bosch with an adapter. I hate having to take extra steps, and hate that the map sensor is faulted. No shade to Corksport, because I love their products. But sadly this is the only component keeping me off the road currently.

    Just another update for everyone. Corksport is sending a new MAP sensor under warranty. If all goes well I should be up and running soon. Assuming I get everything in order I shall make a couple more threads about my misadventures with my car, and a little How-to on something else I did just in case anyone may be interested in following my psychotic ideas.

    Hope everyone is doing well and that everyone is excited/prepped for the holidays! It has been one hell of a year, but in good news, they’re sending another stimulus check out for anyone that made under $75k for 2019. That means $600 per person for use on those Christmas loans or for car part Christmas presents for yourselves. Haha.

    Thanks to everyone again for the help. I hope we can have a meet in 2021 as I’d love a chance to meet everyone in person!

    I'd like to say maybe we shouldn't waste free money on car parts, but I fully plan on using a chunk of that to get a pro tune on my car.

    That money is intended to help people and stimulate the economy. A pro tune is perfect use for it. Keep small business alive.
