Is that your buddy Jon's car? Does he live up north?

And for the record, I guess hate is the wrong word.... I dont HATE clean evo's.....I just LOVE dirty ones haha.

Seen some hella clean Evo's and I cant hate on that...

Yes sir, sure is! J. Walkow! my good friend of quite some time. He lives just a few miles from me. I was over there the other day fixin this nasty boost leak problem we were having. I'll be at the rallycross on saturday tearing it up most likely.

OK, I think we can still be friends . That's one hell of a tune-up. Did you ever dyno it after the mods? You had to be close to 500hp!!

FP Green doesnt flow enough for 500 actually, and nor do DW 850's on E85 or pump gas.

Which was the issue I was running into, I should have converted to '07 fueling so I could use top feed injectors instead of side feeds. The side feeds are limited to 850cc injectors as the max. I needed 1200's or bigger to really fully use the FP Green.

The Green I think was only at 16-18psi or so...no where near done...but where I had it was super Efficient.

On the last tune I had it on on Pump gas it made 330whp and 370 tq...I could've got more out of it, I just didnt bother cause I didnt want to risk running my injectors static..

These numbers were on Revolutions Performance Dyno btw..

I used to have a black '05 WRX and loved it until a Tahoe still sporting dealer plates nailed me from behind. Dude caused a 6 car pile up coming down Floyd hill. I was the bumper... She was totaled to say the least. I bought my STi the next morning!! '06 Silver, still 100% stock. Her name is Stella.

Nice man! I dont think I'd ever build an STi again....its really not worth it. and look out! '06 are known for having ringland detonation issues, so I'd definitely at LEAST have it tuned...even bone stock, have it tuned. the OEM tune is absolute shit..its not as horrible as the stock Evo tune...those are just disgustingly rich with too much timing in the works..

The STi OE tune is better on fueling than the Evo, but definitely would benefit in both power/torque/throttle response and MPG from a tune..

If you have a Wideband (preferably an Innovate) I'd be happy to street tune you if you're close..or if not, for a Beer and some grub? :P

but yea...reason I say, is because....15k stock everything...this happened to cylinder #4..


its a well known problem on '06-'07

Dang that's no good. I bought her with just over 20k and am now at 75k since Feb 2009. Haven't had any issues except squeaky struts. I'm sure a good tune would serve me well. Who up in the Denver/Boulder area would you recommend I take her to?

[NightCat]

Denver/Boulder area...man, you have some great Options.

Brian is good, but does more Evo's than STi's but still a great tuner, and then Harvey is an awesome Subaru tuner!!

Brian - Tobz
Harvey - Boost Creep Ltd

Harvey owns that mexican food restaurant and used to put cruises together.

[NightCat]

Dont know anything about that, but he's a damn good tuner when it comes to Subaru's.

But as is Tobz (brian), just Harvey does More STi's Id say

[Sawin]
