I believe it has logging capability, so that would be the best way.

The best way to log is with a Tactrix cable and a laptop, but if the APv2 logs that's cool. I'd just say do some runs with it and transfer the logs to your PC and look at em. Do some initial logging w/o hitting full boost / RPM, then if that's safe do some 4th gear pulls.

got my ap and flashed stg1. very smooth, but it feels less torquey. i dont think ap has logging. but i flashed stg1 with an older map and peaked at about 14ish. but i reflashed to stg1, but newer map. i hope that the boost still maintains a peak of 14ish since i dont have anyone to look at boost gauge while i drive.

Boosting higher than that is fine, it's the AFR's that you have to watch.

There is little to worry about. All of the "base maps" I have ever looked at have always run rich and if the stated boost is only 1 bar (14.5 psi) you are at almost no risk of leaning out, even with boost creep. Most of the alternative maps that Cobb offers usually just advanced timing, add more boost in the low RPM range and add more agressive throttle response but do not adjust the air fuel ratio at all.

^^^ Interesting! Makes sense why people see such improvements from a ProTune then too. I can't blame COBB though, the last thing they want to do is put out a map that is unsafe for even 1% of motors.

yeh i am totally scared of that ill take pictures of it when i get home. its pretty descreet though. every night when i go to sleep i take my ap and all the cables back into my house though. my sister has xm radio and i tell her to take the crap off when she isnt in the car. she says she does but she leaves the mount on. i dont live in the safest neighborhood either
edit -- today at 41 degrees i hit 16.1psi in fourth gear and in third gear. i think im over boosting the target of 13.5psi. should i just not worry about it?
