I have a ABC from TurboXS auxillary boost controller. And with race gas I'm running 22psi of boost and on pump 19-20 psi of boost. And on my low boost around 17psi of boost. Have you installed the new firmware on any of the evo's or sti's? Supposedly it gets rid of the stumble that the cars sometimes have with UTEC.

I have the new firmware on my STI UTEC and it works very well with no stumble that I can find.

i haven't done stis. i have been keeping to evos only. i work as an engineer for a day job, and the company i started as something i do with my weekends and free time at night. as of right now the evos more then take up all my free time though

it will certainly be something for the future but as of right now i only do evos.



edit** DOH!!!! i get it now, you are looking for someone to tune your STi. i totally missed that one. i had just assumed you had an evo too and wanted it tuned with this being an evo forum and all... sorry for the confusion. i'll put the dunce cap on and go sit in the corner now :P

I would go get tuned by you but I really would like someone who has more experience with STi's.

and i would want you to take it to someone with more experience with STis too

sense both can use ecuflash (and UTEC), and using a obd-2 logger basically makes it doing the same thing for evo or sti. but more importantly i don't know the limits of the STi yet like i do the evo. therefor it would definately be in your best interest to have a STi tuner tune your car



when you finally decide to trade that Sti for an evo though, give me a shout!

Me buy an evo? not likely, I got the STi because of how much better built it was. The evo to me is just a good weekend car for the track. The evo is great car but I don't think it's the best daily driver you can buy out of the two. hehe

After owning an 03 Evo, an 04 STI and an 06 Evo, I will say that the STI has a slight edge as a daily driver (cruise and auto climate control), but the Evo is a fine daily driver, especially with MR bilsteins.
