My opinion is Cobb AP is O.K if your a Subaru or Mazda guy, not so great if you own a Ralliart.

For the money you spent already on the Cobb AP and what you will spend sending in your stock Turbo for re-work and custom MAP plus all the supporting mods AKA New IC with pipes and new exhaust etc..

Best bang for the buck is the used Evo X swap to easily get you into the 300+ range at the wheels.

Sorry I know your new here and I hate to sound like a broken record,but there are so many threads here and on every other related Lancer and Evo site. That will tell you that with a few bolt ons Tactrix cable throw in after market boost pill and Free GST tune and voila 230- 280+ AWD HP and Torque at the wheels on average depending on tune and mods.

Do some reading here and you will find your answers, but it all comes down to what you want out of the car and how much money you want to throw at it.
Haha, thank you for your help!

I know I should of went Tactrix because it is cheaper and I'd have more money for mods, but I am nowhere near computer smart where I can flash my car. At least with the AP, I can revert back to stock with a touch of a button. See, I would really go with X swap because of the upgrade capabilities, but the thing is I already have a full TurboXS turboback exhaust and with it I read that I would need a X downpipe, and a long with that I'd have to get it reinstalled because I have mediocre mechanical skills and that adds up in money.

My car is my DD that I use to commute from home to school, but I like doing 20 and 40 pulls with my friends for fun. I just want to hit around 300whp because I'd like to have a little fun with it. I plan on keeping it that way too.

Honestly though, i really appreciate you replying back. I came from a 2006 VW Passat so all this tuning stuff is very new to me. Glad to see you're understanding on my noob status aha
