It's got Crawford S3L motor, GT 35r turbo, SMC meth injection, PE 850 injectors. Currently I have a ECUTEK/UTEC combo, but thinking of going to full standalone.
You should just e-mail him, he'll get back to you quicker that way. Here's his website:

Lets not start crap in this thread... on either side! I personally guarantee anyone taking this any farther will not like the consequences concerning access to this site. It is off topic, and against the forum rules!

Anyone wanting to argue the merits (or lack there of) of ANY tuner is free to do so IN THEIR OWN THREAD!!! Provided they do so within the guidelines of the rules of Evolutionm.net !!!

I'll check with him, but because of the choice of dyno, this may have gotten a bit too expensive. I know my car is going to take a bit of tuning to get it perfect.

I am going to talk to Jestr and see what he says.

Jestr can tune a STi.

You'd be surprised at how quickly Jestr can tune a car as long as the car's in top shape i.e. spark plugs aren't fouled, no boost leaks, and no break downs on the dyno.

My spark plugs are doing okay and there are no boost leaks. The STI is in fairly good shape, it was professionally built by TopSpeed.

Spark plugs get fouled up pretty quickly if you're running rich. Do yourself a favor and spend an extra $50 for a new set. When's the last time they were changed? How many miles ago?

I didn't know he did Subies... I could use a flash for my 05' Legacy 2.5 GT

com'on guys, where'd the interest go? We started with a list of 18, we're down to 13 still possible, but only 4 have paid a deposit.

That's weak!!!!!!

It's going to be an awesome dyno day. The weather should be good for making power, we've got one of the best (if not THE best) tuners coming to town, a DynoDynamics dyno lined up, top of the line facility to dyno at..... all in all, it's going to be a very good situation to pull the maximum out of your car. Some have voiced concern about the price. While it's steep (about $450-500 per person), it's like the setting for a "Perfect Storm". Weather, dyno, tuner, you couldn't orchestrate it any better. I'll gladly pay my money to take advantage of this situation, it's a once per year or two kinda thing. You're gonna kick yourself for not taking advantage of it.

I remember a dyno day last year in Dallas (Zeus remembers too I'm sure), what a complete waste of money. Yeah, I got tuned, but the dyno room was soooo filled with exhaust fumes, there's no way it was a decent tune. Had to take about an hour break between cars to let the place air out. Not to mention, wait around for another 6 months for a good tuner to come back to town. This won't happen at Engine Logics!

"If you build it, they will come"

Seriously, like I said, this always happens right before X-mas. People will dive in at the end of Dec.

freakin bump!

Note to self....... Best way to kill a dyno day thread is..... "start collecting money".

C'mon Kevin, I know you wanna.... after that "other" flash, you NEED to

We need one more confirmed to get Jestr here.

Funny, however, along with my comments about the "Holidays", Inprogress should be talking to John about opening it up to some guys on the Subie forums too. Inprogress used to be an STi man.

However, I still think no one should be stressed at this point. Everyone and their dog is spending money on X-mas. About 1/3 of those people will get money FOR X-mas. Guess what an Evo owner likes to spend his X-mas money on?

I just sent Jestr the question about the Subaru tuning, hopefully he's down to ecuflash some subies if not then maybe he'll be up for some UTEC or Accessport Street Tuners...
