Im in a similar situation i want around 300 - 325 whp. Im going to do the turbo back, gears, maybe intake. Now i dont have the knowledge to tune the car or the time. I also need the car drivable. I had a utec on my stage 4 wrx for around six months and loved. i used a downloaded stage 4 map and drove great everyday, great product and when i parted the car out i got almost all my money back from the utec. But right now for me im now leaning toward the dynoflash, i wish i had the money to go with the exede but with the price of 895 and then to get it custom tuned it will be over $1200. So 450 for a flash i think will be perfect and pruven in not that far from me.
Al what can the boost me set to with the flash, and does it hold to redline?

Dynoflash and anyone else:
I would like;
Power: Close to 400whp (don't know if that is reliable or not...if not, I will go lower)
Driving: I drive that car hard occassionally...often
Maybe future Auto cross (That's a big maybe)
Fuel: 92 Octane
Tuning: Don't have any experience there, could learn from local guys who have ran Utec on their WRX's, but to iffy for me.
Warranty: I know I would probably void warranty if I replace the turbo, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, yada yada
Idel: Would like to stay close to stock, considering I will be driving this everyday until I can afford to buy another car.
Budget: When I have money, and have done enough research I will buy parts...don't know how much I want to invest...only time will tell

Quick question.
Dynoflash - are you maintaining that your flash isn't dealer-detectable? Or would I have to ship my ECU back to you, have it flashed back to stock, then returned to me?
I think you offer an excellent service for people who live close to you, but it's probably not for everybody who just wants more power from a daily-drivable perspective.

Hey Dyno Flash, I answered what I wanted as far as mods goes, but I didn't get any real feedback as what suggestions you would give me..."I offer any prospective evo owner free advice and consultation on the best mod path for thier goals."
You seem to be caught up in the WAR between you and Shiv...I have been reading the post on his web page....and personally, both of you guys should just let your work speak for itself...those customers who insult each of you really don't know enough about tuning like the both of you do...so why waste your guys' time and answer potential consumer questions
Seems like us consumers out here have a lot to choose from...considering what is going on between Al and Shiv.
