I got a 08 sti. I am currently stage 2 (cobb dp, invidia q300, aem CAI, walbro fuel pump)currently running the cobb ap stage 2 map. After 1000miles and one track day. I saw there are black coal wearing inside the pine and the donut gasket. Is it because the map getting the fuel pump pump too much oil and the car is running rich? I want to get a protune to keep the engine out of trouble for daily drive and some track experience, because I really love my car.
Another question If I replace a aftermarket uppipe to the car, how much horsepower it will gain, will it harm the engine for long run since it is stock header and aftermarket uppipe

For everyone's reference, this is a 2003 WRX with an EQ Stage 1 shortblock, EQ CNC'd heads, Evo 3 16G Turbo, DW850cc injectors, UP, TBE, MBC, and custom tune on E85. I was asked to keep torque in the 350-360ft-lbs range to try to prolong the life of the 5 speed, so this is an extra safe tune running only 19.5psi on E85. Also note that this car is still running the stock airbox. The resulting flattened torque curve makes the car feel very quick on the street
Thanks

Here is a tune I did earlier today. This customer came in about 6 months ago with a built engine from another shop. He just wanted to get a custom tune on E85. After the first pull on the dyno, it was clear that he had a blown/leaking head gasket. The car was literally dumping out coolant from the exhaust. The customer saved some funds and brought the car back in for a head gasket replacement and some head work. He put some miles on it and brought it back in today for the final tune. Here are the results:
This is an 05 STI with a 9:1 compression engine, Element GT52 turbo, APS FMIC, APS 70mm CAI, DW1100cc injectors, Headers, TBE, and various supporting mods. The injectors ended up maxing out at only 21psi. Therefore, this tune was done at 20psi to keep things safe. The nice thing with the higher compression is that even at 20psi, the car made some great power overall. It did seem a bit too laggy for the setup, so the customer will be checking for cracks in the header or possibly warped flanges. Even with this lag, however, the car feels great on the street and really gets going well especially for only 20psi!

yes! the inlet for sure and the tune I think should also be good! I just passed smog so I'm cool for 2 more years! I also think i have a credit still with you so that should work for the turbo inlet and then some.
