That's the whole plan of doing it in two stages....only because this is the fastest car I've ever owned and really I should get used to the power first. Even last night I was experimenting with TC and trying to get used to the whole controlled skid thing. I think 300s a good beginner spot to start off with and as mentioned in another thread, we are really spoilt for power these days. (I'm sure I could get wheelspin if I go back to 245s lol)The other point is BFYB and ROI as Steve said lol....(Used Xcal 3 + F6 Core + F6 Injectors + Tune + Second Hand surge = $2000-$2200 = with my plaz turbo side already bought 290-310rwkw) then to go up to 350-360 you need Exhaust, Wastegate Mod/actuator, Turbo, 1000cc, possible valve springs, proper cooler, retune = $8000+ (stuff done @ MT)....so 4 times the amount to get an additional 50-60rwkw? I obviously need a better job or less debt, before I can consider a super package. P.S. you know Mao? (I think that's how you spell his name)....used to take my stagea to him from time to time. Hooked me up with all the cheap OEM parts (even though he specialises in evo/wrx). funny dude too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was some old white dude who did the main tuning?I did get a little jipped one time...had an Apexi SITC and the guy said "don't put anymore timing in or it will go be bad"....pressed each button thing and all were set to 0 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it retuned straight away by Ovaboost, they immediately took 9 degrees of timing out and it made a lot more power hahaThey also charged a prev owner of my car $750 to fit a fan controller, hoses (supplied by customer), and a coolant flush.

It looked real purrdy...........in my glovebox To be fair though, I had a different experience. He would always under charge me for work done. It was nothing tuning wise, but more installing stuff and diagnosing issues and basically threw in free labour every now and then (I.e. installing coil packs, installing AFM and little things).

What flex plate will you go for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
