Upgrading to bigger TURBO
I've noticed that everyone is going with the Evo X turbo when they are doing their upgrade. I'm looking at the FP Red myself, but I'm wondering why no one is choosing this. Is it too much power for our transmission to handle? Or is everyone just doing a budget build (which is what I'm kinda trying to do)?

the tranny on the ams ralliart started to slip after a few months with the fp red. For me, 300-300 is what i want and the spool of the x turbo factored in with it easily making 300-300 is why i purchased it.

Well then, I will save my extra $400 and spend it on some other goodies!
You went to Lightspeed for your tuning, didnt you? They do pretty good work for Ralliarts?

yes i did, and yeah Cam is a really good guy and does a good job with our cars. Im not 100% sure if i will use him for my evo x tune or not. It will depend on pricing. Ams is 599$ so if Cam is more then i might choose Ams.

An FPred seems too big for the RA, the Evo X turbo honestly seems like the best possible turbo upgrade for the RA.

Personally I would stay away from Lightspeed. Cam is a good guy and I would have no problem buying from him but quite a few local Subaru people have had issues with Lightspeed, not customer service issues but technical quality issues. A local Evo owner also had to essentially build his own map using advice from Evom members after he noticed some issues with his Lightspeed tune coupled with his larger turbo (an FPred I believe). If you're willing to put in the time, with the help of some of the tuning gurus here, you can do a better job on your own.

There aren't any issues that people are aware of, there's a difference. The individual with the Evo wouldn't have known there was a problem if he hadn't done some logs and fiddled with the tune himself. Rocket Rally is also an option, personally I would trust them over any other local tuner.
