yup you need nothing but a reflash. Believe me I had all kinds of stuff, turbo, injectors, loud exhaust. I got rid of everything and only have an ECUTEC reflash.
254whp/275 torque at 16 psi (this is on a dyno dynamics dyno). Stock it did 219whp on the same dyno.
Now I can gun the car without being afraid that everyone within two blocks knows I have an aftermarket exhaust.
cheers

Ok well that sounds great and only seems to build up the accessport. So are their maps just bad? If so in a month they will have street tuner software so I could tune it myself. Is there any downside?

Wow, I looked at the pictures and all I could think was "That's it? That little damage and they totalled it?" Am I not seeing something? Which insurance company do you have?

I never said accessport is bad or good. I have no experience with it. But on the other hand I am a bit sceptical to install an out of the box engine management solution when there are like 3-4 options within driving distance in the Bay Area than custom tune the STi. Again I personally have no interest to tune my own car but I would rather have a prodesionally custom tuned map for my car.

I looked and nothing was touching them. Suspension wasn't harmed as far as I could tell. But u never know about the frame. Any way they said it was 16k to fix so they gave me 21k+tax/reg.

Anyways 21k payout is a good deal. As long as you did not hurt yourself.
