Quoted for truth...

I haven't seen anywhere near the glowing praise for the AccessPort that I have for Osiris.

Even though I have a pre '04.5 2004, I'd still rather purchase a wideband to tune my Osiris properly than have an accessport

why the hell does the accessport require the stock intake? Will a popcharger and plenum spacer mess it up that bad?

Osiris + Cipher is a league above Cobb. It's a different class of product and leaves Cobb with only a market of those uneducated consumers that think the unit for the Z/Gs is the ultimate since it is the best value for the subies. Fact is that if Osiris existed for Subarus then Cobb would be out of luck there also. Unless you desperately need the handheld device (which only shows you one parameter at a time) I would strongly advise to go with the laptop based UpRev products.

Don't tell anyone but we're considering adding inputs to Cipher when we release 2.0 near the end of the year that will allow you to connect to certain external wide band systems. It's mostly up to the various manufacturers allowing us to connect to their software, but it is on the books as something we're going to add for Cipher 2.0

More info please???

Would this negate the need for a wideband sensor for us pre-'04.5 owners?

And domeatsbabies, if you don't live near UpRev or a certified Osiris tuner, you can send them your AFR data and other info you log using the Cipher software, then they will do their best to do an "e-tune". They'll then send you another map that will hopefully optimize your performance for your specific vehicle.

As it stands now you get three free e-tunes, then subsequent tunes (if you changed mods or something) are $50
