Yeah, I have been reading similar things on NASIOC. I believe a tuner shop in GA. got around 70whp with just a tbe, high flow filter, and a custom tune. Pretty impressive. It's about time Subie's start responding with simple bolt ons.

 

i like the car personally. if you have any time behind the wheel of any older model STi, you can feel the difference in gearing. fourth gear pulls oh so nicely

 

I have the bolt-ons for my IX to be put on early spring...sounds like it will be a good run unless I granny shift and double clutch Only thing I have to determine is if I will have the cash next spring for the 2.3L stroker, only time will tell

 

Must be the ecu is more friendly...I know a friend of mine always *****ed about the ecu fighting any changes made.

 

oh yah i forgot to mention they did change the ecu in them toooo

good i need a few IX's to show up this spring in my suby!

I KID I KID!

 

500th post BTW lol

 

you only get the prize for the 5ooth post if you drive an Evo, better luck next time...please try again

 

I had an evo, but i just upgraded to bigger and better, i hope you understand

kidding.. i have love for evo's i just hope my sti lives to what people are saying about the 07's now

 

^^I'm sure it will, but I hope you are not on a budget with upgrades. I hear to make these things "fast" it costs significantly more. One of the reasons I swayed toward the Evo when it came down to deciding. But all in all, I do like the STi. I just saw more for my dollar with the Evo and future upgrades upon purchase. Seriously though, keep us posted on upgrades

 

well now with turboback, and a "reflash" which do cost 600 bucks for the cobb acessport, they are seeing 320ish AWHP, which isnt too shabby for a subby, thats the only reason i decided to try out the STI, besides i love the sounds of my damn exhaust!! music to my ears!! i have parts that will be on by spring. currently in my garage awaits.. tein S-techs, APS FMIC, Invidia catless downpipe, Cobb AP, APS intake, and a Clutchnet Stage 3 clutch. I dont think im going big turbo with this car tho.... im not installing anymore parts till the snow (or lack of) clears this spring when the track opens. Subarus are not 1/4 mile cars, but im going to try to make it one.

 

Nice. I love seeing builds while owners retain the stock turbo. Using it to it's full potential earns points in my book. I would love to do a turbo upgrade, but after seeing some of the numbers people are getting with great parts and great tuning, I am going to stay stock on the turbo. Just continue building when I can. Best of luck man

 

same to you, im sure ill run into you in manchester some time. im the only one in NH with a White 2007. So if you see one... you'll know you dont want to try....HAHA j/k

 

I got dyno'd today. with just a catback exhaust it did 250 AWHP and 255 tq exciting... downpipe and intake and tune on thursday!!! we'll see what happens!!!

 

I love driving STI's...but I chose the EVO over it...even in a 5 speed.

The sound of the STI and WRX's are great...but the reason you get that is your exhaust pulses colliding with each other causing backpressure. Throw an equal length header on that car and the sound is gone.

Good luck with the STI.
Great car.

Don't know why you ever sold the 2JZGTE.
That's sacreligious to me.

 

oh i heard a equal length header on a suby last nite, sounds kinda bad until boost hits...

I also found out last nite, you dont need any special software for tuning, you can get them reflashed like an evo which is nice finally!!
