No problems what so ever. Chris said their tune includes some new tables for the SST to improve clamping force ect.
Car is much smoother, and pulls much harder in the top end. Leaving one of the tolls on the way home I got on it against my buddies stage 2 07 STI that he also got tuned at AMS today. I think he was a little disappointed when I kept pulling away from him
.
All in all I am very pleased with the tune. I was trying to keep this build on somewhat of a budget and debated whether or not to actually go through with the install and tune. I would like to slap myself for ever considering that. I think the thing I like most is to most people I have a lancer with tinted windows. Maybe even to some of the more knowledgeable they know it's a ralliart but looks stock.
AMS has an awesome setup there, we spent most of the day checking out the show room and watching satellite as we waited for our cars to be tuned. My only gripe is I wish I would of realized the PS3 with GTA5 and their race seat with steering wheel and pedals setup was hooked up and on the whole time!

I think I'm going to wait until the warranty expires before I consider the Evo X turbo swap though.
Luckily I know someone that is upgrading the turbo on their X and they have offered to sell me their OEM parts so I could do a Evo X turbo swap.
Not to mention there is a local tuner in my area that can provide the tune once the turbo swap is complete.

Yes, I wanted to keep it quiet. I considered looking for a quiet aftermarket exhaust but decided on waiting and see what kind of power I could push through the stock catback. As of right now I think I will stick with stock, the TP and O2/DP did give it a bit more of a rumble and it is definitly louder. I've always been more of an intake/turbo/engine kind of guy than exhaust sound anyways. Quiet while cruising, but hear me coming when I'm on it.

I also kept the ralliart turbo outlet tube vs. X and I don't seem to have any fitment issues. The evo might be a different part number but the ralliart one seems to work just fine.
