Here at COBB we are constantly looking for ways to improve our product and in turn help you guys make more power and improve the way your cars drive. Earlier this week we pushed out an update to Accesstuner and Accessport firmware that includes some exciting updates as well as a couple of minor maintenance items.
Volumetric Efficiency (VE) Tuning
As Focus ST and Fiesta ST tuning exceed typical bolt-on hardware into aftermarket turbos and camshafts, the factory VE calibration becomes inaccurate. The mysteries of VE tuning and how to interpret the vast amounts of "Speed Density" tables have been simplified in the March release. New data monitors have been added to help tuners review the system changes and perfect their tunes. Additionally, the COBB Ford engineers have developed a VE worksheet (here) to guide users through the refinement process.

Advanced Wastegate Control for Fiesta ST
Additional discovery work shows the vast complexity of boost control through an advanced wastegate PID Controller. A comprehensive table and monitor list update allows tuners to fine tune the entire wastegate control system.
