ed,everything has taken a turn for the better and i need some help.
looks like 1100cc sidefeeds will be the injector for me. my goal is for 375/415.
i have a few options. current turbo w/e85 and larger intake. or larger turbo,850cc. i want to have the option of 91 and e85. what would you suggest? i really think i can hit the 375whp mark pretty easy with my current setup and e85.

I say E85 with your current turbo. I don't think 375whp will be hard to hit at all and the 1100's should work for this. I have a couple sets coming in the next couple weeks.

Seriously, +1 to this. My supposedly 305 crank hp STI made 35whp less from the factory than my catted stage 2 LGT (both measured using Ed's dyno software), and the difference felt that big. My LGT was rated at 243hp SAE certified from the factory. Ed, your tuning is great and all, but can you say with a straight face you got an extra 97hp out of an LGT just with a catted downpipe and catless uppipe? C'mon, Subaru, honest HP ratings would be appreciated.

(Technically my LGT was rated at 250hp SAE net because it predated the SAE certified ratings, but the SAE certified rating is more apples to the STI's apples.)

Edit: Though the STI probably does have higher transmission losses, between the tougher/heavier 6MT and extra LSD.

Its all over the place and makes very little power. The Cobb map ran much better overall with a much smoother powerband. The customer is waiting to put on some parts to get a custom tune done.

Here are the graphs:

The first two pulls are bone stock, the last two are with the Cobb Stage 1 ACN map.

Ed, can I re-post that on iwsti.com forum (will give a link to your i-club post)? Or maybe you can post that yourself? It's not easy to find that kind of comparison...

Gauges ordered set me up for another appointment date next availability. Let's get a new radiator, get my a/c to work(send me next door), fix my center console, install guages, swap coils for strut and spring combo, and a retune

btw. There's nothing like shifting at 8k with the 5-speed gear ratio love that AVCS too, better gas milage and feels Sooo much more responsive!

Ed I just recently installed a EGT gauge and have switched to using Propel E85. Dont know if you'll have time before the end of the month to squeeze me in to finish fine tuning the tune. If not I'll have to wait till the end of April or begining of May
