    Hey all I'm looking to preferabily borrow a cobb accessport or a 2.0 ECU flash cable to see which works best for my 09 impreza. Maybe if possible I could rent one of these devices for a case of monster or something! LMK
    Thanks!

    The Cobb Access marries itself to the particular vehicle. This makes it very hard to switch between different cars. (tired it with my buddies) I have a 2.0 tactrix setup. I don't need it for a while. You'll need to download the software to run it. Let me know where you're at.

    Sweet how do you like the tactrix? Have you really noticed a difference? Oh and I'm in Minnetonka/St.louis park/Chanhassen almost every day

    The Tactrix is just an interface to read the ECU. You will still need to have a competent individual tune the car. I haven't messed with data logging with it yet. I just didn't want to spend the money for an Access port. This option with a tune was still cheaper than the access port. Access port is easier to use and very user friendly, also give real time data when connected.

    What are you trying to accomplish? If you are looking for more power, get a custom tune. No need for the cable if you don't want to go back to a stock map. If you want to go between stock and tuned, you will need a Tactrix cable.

    I'm looking to get a performance boost for sure, what would be the point of going back to stock? My buddy is pretty good with code and stuff and he already found the software for programing.
