MK7 GTI COBB Accessport Install

In this episode of the GTI we dive into the COBB Accessport and show you just how long it takes to do an initial programming of the ECU and DSG. Utilizing a battery charger is recommended however, but you can utilize a second car and some jumper cables if you do not own a battery charger. Works just as good. Be sure to follow the on board instructions and verify and select the proper tunes and vehicle information as the Accessport also has the options for the IS38 turbo if that is what you have installed in the vehicle.

Thanks for sharing! Mine is manual mk7, do you think I can still get around 50 hours power by stage 1?

[@elescoloco]

Put up some more vids on the Cobb tune

[@lightspeedautomotive9177]

I’m actually working on posting more for stage 2 and 3, have been waiting a couple months for back order parts from COBB. Finally got em in.

You had your truck running, and no problems?

[@orioncaster5761]

Does anyone know if this works on TSI’s?

[@PabloLopez-xu5zn]

What year is you're gti, mine is a 2018 would this same cobb accessport be compatible with all stock internals only thing aftermarket I have is blow off valve but I didnt want to install that til the stage 1 tune

[@lightspeedautomotive9177]

This is the 2017 GTI. As far as compatibility purchasing the tuner from COBB directly gives you the best options. Unfortunately, these tuners are specific to the model and year of the vehicle. By model I mean MK7, MK7.5 and so on. If you buy a used one you just have to make sure that it was utilized for the same model, as each tune is different depending on GTI, or R models as well. I am currently sitting on the Stage 2 tune from COBB with stock internals. Working on videos for that as well. I don't have plans to upgrade internals until I upgrade turbos.

@@lightspeedautomotive9177 okay yeah I have a 2018 mk7.5, I'm gonna run a stage 1 tune from the cobb accessport

[@lightspeedautomotive9177]

The stage 1 tune was mild, but definitely added a lot of power on the upper end of the rpm range. It also pairs well if you get the DSG tune from COBB as well.

[@PabloLopez-xu5zn]

@@lightspeedautomotive9177 what is the dsg tune do, it's for the automatic transmission right?

[@lightspeedautomotive9177]

@@PabloLopez-xu5zn Yes the DSG tune helps the transmission out by modulating the pressures in order to keep the clutches from slipping. The factory states that the transmission is only rated for up to 350 ft lbs of torque. COBB helps increase fluid pressures which help keep the clutches in the case from wearing down faster with increased performance.

hi u can void warranty with this or no?

[@BLove722]

Yeah you void the shit out of your warranty with this. If you want a tune and don’t want to mess with warranty then look at burger tuning jb4. It’s a piggyback tune

[@bm_wuratli6883]

@@BLove722 this is true? Some say bith are same and etc

[@erickim3826]

Did you have the engine running on your truck while flashing?

[@lightspeedautomotive9177]

Yeah would have definitely drained the battery otherwise.

[@Wennoworks]

Does it remove the top speed limiter?

[@luke_vk]

Yes

[@L4GGINGB4D]

It puts it to a ridiculously high speed but doesn’t remove it
