MIKE from Gruppe-s did not recommend me to get a protune because of my minimal mods!! he said there barely any power gain after tune on 06 wrx?!?
why would he say this after i see others GOT PROTUNE FOR THIS TYPES OF MODS and got about 15-20hp gain and torque. pls help.
my mods are: 06 wrx
cobb ap (stage 2)
invidia catted downpipe
hi-power catback

Upgrade the turbo(TD06H-18G or similar), a GM BCS, pickup a Crucial P&P&C'd manifold & then go get a Protune.
Look at it this way, Mike turned down money from you to do a Protune because he could not justify the power-to-cost ratio. Other tuners must justify why you need a Protune so they may end up pushing the car much harder to get results to justify the cost. IMHO, Mike did you a favor.
Also in CA you're running **** for gas, where other tuners across the country are running much much better gas which will allow for a more aggressive tune.

Then again it's just one person's complaint against another person's praise.
