Question

Ok, it looks like I've started a pretty big controversy over the power claims of the Xcceleration kit. Now I've been researching some more kits since most don't like the Xcceleration kit. Who has the best kit????? Prodrive, Vivid Racing, Vishnu racing, ISR ( Rennick ), etc. . I'm looking to stay at around $3500.00 and the best gains possible. I know I need to at least have a kit with the Ecutek with it since the OEM comp is very sensitive.

You don't have to say it, because that's how it's marketed. I never said it wasn't fast. What I've said here and elsewhere is that the marketing claims are false and that the kit costs twice what the included parts are worth. I wouldn't run a unichip if you were paying me. Oh, and I like how you figured out your crank horsepower down to the last tenth...

So you are saying that this kit runs at 1.45bar???

On the stock fuel system???

1.45bar = 21.026psi

21.026psi + stock fuel system = "soon to be dead" STi

RAT-troll
The point is that you can never repeat peak horsepower closer than 2-3, except by coincidence. Further, you can always make more horsepower by running too lean or allowing some detonation by disabling or reducing the knock sensor output. Claiming horsepower down to the tenth is frivolous and entirely without merit.

Most importantly is the fact that You, sir, don't know a damn thing about tuning Subarus except that you rode in your friend's STi with some bolt-ons and it's "really fast" because it beat a Corvette in a street race. Get some tech or get off my board troll.

hehe, i'm sure ban suvs doesn't know what he is talking about, after all he only has 8000 something actual tech post.

very interesting thread though, haven't been reading up much on sti's but now i'm learning about their potential on stock turbo.

No, ESX sells an EcuTek reflash with their stage 1 STi kit. Even they won't touch a Unichip.
