Here is another VF E85 car. This is an 04 STI with catless TBE, EL Headers, K&N Intake, and EWG on E85:



Thanks

And here is a completely stock 2011 STI I tuned yesterday:



The black curves are as the car came in running a Cobb OTS Stage 1 ACN map. The map ran safely but was extremely rich on the top end causing a large drop in power and a rough powerband. The green curves are with an EQ Custom Tune at the same boost levels (17.5-18psi peak) with no additional mods. The peak power gains are impressive, but check out the gains around 6500RPM!

Thanks

We definitely do! Its been tough to plan such an event with the baby, but I think we'll be doing one in the near future.

Doing injectors and a tune on one car. Another car came in for a tune, but has a bunch of issues. We're now swapping the UP, fixing a bunch of leaks, replacing fuel injector seals, etc, etc to get this car ready for a tune as well.

One of our builds finished his break-in and came in for a tune today. 07 WRX with VF turbo made 280whp/320ft-lbs.

We also delivered an 07 STI after rebuilding the engine.

Thanks

I'll have to take a look at the Cobb map, but on the dyno the car was consistently hitting 17-18psi peak.

17.5 for 2011 STI.

I have question 2011 STI sedan. Have you tuned this car with only Cobb catted DP? Why am I hearing from search that 2011 sti sedan don't make much power with only DP. Restrictive catback? If that's the case I may have to get a aftermarket catback before your tune, but I like looks and sound of stock catback on this year.

I tuned one with just an Invidia Catless downpipe and it did ~260whp. So not a very big gain from just the downpipe as you've read. I think the stock DP on the 2011 is fairly free flowing as compared to the previous years and that's why they tend to make better power with it.

You're welcome to drop it off on Friday but we won't be able to work on it until next week.

Thanks

Just did a little tuning on one of our technician's cars - C5 Z06 with a Prochacharger blower, Cam, Catted Headers, and Meth Injection:



Enjoy
