Do you tune non turbo subaru's ? I have an 09 forester that is a slug.

I have tuned NA Subies but the gains are very small. The main gains are in smoothness, all around drivability and maybe 5whp ;)

Is the price the same for N/A subies ? I am definetly interested, you tuned my turbo subie and its wonderful.

Hey Ed when I go to the track will you need to agust my tune for the hot weather? Or should I be good to go.

Ask and you shall receive...

Here's a really strong 07 STI I tuned recently:

Cobb Catless TBE, Perrin EL Headers, SPT Intake, Hallman MBC, Tuned with Cobb AP V2 on 91 Octane on a cool day:

http://eqtuning.com/images/dynos/augustine/91%20Octane%20Tuned.png

This thing made great power without much hassle and is the strongest stock turbo 07 STI I've tuned to date.

-- Ed

WOW thats crazy! I think the headers really helped the car out! grat work.

Hey Ed,

I tried calling you last week but haven't heard from you! I'm sure your just super busy these days! But when you get a chance give me a call or a PM and let me know when your open next week or the week after to check my car out because the check engine light hasn't come on since but I just want to make sure it all checks out.

Thanks!

Greg

Hey Ed when I go to the track will you need to agust my tune for the hot weather? Or should I be good to go.

I'd like to get you in here sometime before the track day to test the tune in hotter weather. Most likely its good to go, but better be safe than sorry ;)

I will have to come and see you sometime soon, I heard a lot of people are getting pulled over from the cops. I just don't want a problem when I come to get tuned.

No problems here. I've been seeing a lot more police/CHP around everywhere lately but the ones in our area tend not to care about mods. Just don't drive like an ass and you'll be fine ;)

ed, when can i come in for the tune?

hey ed, im still new to the whole tuning thing. i obviously want to get my wrx tuned after i put in a vf22 turbo. so far i have CAI, lightweight crank pulley, catless up pipe/downpipe, borla hush catback, and an intercooler y-pipe. along with an oversize intercooler thats not installed yet. how do i go about tunning it with you once i get everything?

^ with those mods you really need to get a tune, your gonna kill that poor car.

For those that have been putting off getting tuned I highly suggest that you go in ASAP and get your car tuned. Went today and had a great time with Ed tuning the car. Night and day difference on the car. It’s nice to have someone you can trust to get it done right the first time. Car is now what I was looking for and more.... now I just need to save up and get a bigger turbo......lol thanks again Ed!

So im gonna be putting a sti short block in my car. Will it be alright to drive it there to get the tune or should i tow it?

It would be best to at least get a base map on it. If you have an AP I can send you one to get the car drivable. If not you could limp the car here staying out of boost.

In all honesty, how bad is the 06/07 wrx intercooler (plastic ends)? I mean, even with lets say, a t28, would any substantial gains be made with a larger topmount? Keyword here being substantial, since my hoodscoop really only covers the fin surface area of this one.

I don't like to take the plastic end tanks over about 16.5-17psi peak. I definately wouldn't recommend running anything larger than a VF series turbo on that TMIC. Even with a VF39/34, you will see significant gains by going with a larger TMIC. Any turbo larger than that, will almost require a larger TMIC.

Hey Ed,
I got a buddy with an 03 WRX who wants a stage 2 tune
tbe and without the AP option that you have, do you think it's wise to do MBC and will he need a larger walbro?
Thanks

What kinda base map do you have for an 07 wrx with spt intake, perrin catless tbe, agency power unequal headers and uppipe and sti tmic with my v2 ap? Also, I live around 2-3,000 ft. elevation. Of course something conservative and safe. Not really looking to max out power, but would rather have quality and something safe. or would you recomnend a more advanced tune?

ED,im just about ready.we have a tune date on the 30th.if something opens up sooner call me.also,ill have you guys boost leak test it this time around.

for what ever reason i thought i had an extra day.well,ed if you see this i just finished the injectors(no leaks) and now im on the fence about putting new plugs in.i may do it for good measure

Ed, PM'd you.

well yesterday i took the car in for a tune.ed is the man.even though we were unable to finish the tune because of fuel issues(low flow from fuel filter....we hope)and a MAJOR boost creep issue which i included pics of the problem,he was able to make my car purr w/740cc and a 20g.this thing spools FAST and we think it has some good potential.
maybe ed can chime in on the pic but from what i see is a friggin joke.SBR should have never let a turbo leave with a hole that small.we would get to 15-16psi and within 1500-200 rpm it would creep to 25+

hey ed i dont know if sonja told you but i think i found the fuel issue

when i installed the FP, right away i noticed the the outlet on the FP was in direct contact w/the fuel filter inlet.you were closed so i called another shop and asked them about it,they said it would be fine.fast forward 4 months to my tune day and we were having flow issues.so i was thinking,is there a chance that maybe the fact they were in contact would cause the flow issue?also,the filter was pretty friggin dirty.oh,and i triple checked,it is in fact a walboro 342 pump.i even called a friend i have that works for summit and asked him about walboro returns.he said he has only received one in the last 10 months and it was never installed

Its possible that the contact was impeding flow, but I think the filter is a little more likely. Either way, fix both and we shouldn't have any problems.

Nice job, Ed. I'm actually surprised how well the top end holds up.... peak hp at 7k rpms.

Comparing the Evo X to the STi.... it looks like the Evo sacrifices a bit of torque for a bit more top end compared to the STi.

Was it fun to drive? (I'm guessing yes :D )

since the car is down i figure ill change out the plugs
what should i have them gapped at?im running lfr7aix which are on step colder

Gap them to about .028.

aren't those plugs iridiums? NGK says NOT to gap them as the tips are too fragile
they should already be gaped from the box to your application.

I doubt you need a big MAF for a 20g. Could be wrong though.

im running a tdo6-20g
currently have the full cobb SF setup(sri w/box)
should i just stick with that intake or move up to a big maf or cold air?suggestions needed.

Well if you have an FMIC, only certain cold air intakes will work based on your piping.

Up to you really. If you had FMIC ideally you would go blowthrough and then just custom pipe the cold air, since besides all the tunning benefits you also have the advantage that if you blow the piping off, your car won't stall since the MAF won't get disconnected (unless you blow the piping at the throttle body). Call EQtuning at the shop and see what he thinks.

I think you'll be fine with your current setup, but it's really up to the tune to decide whether your stock maf is maxing out. If that's the case you will need to trick it with a 'big maf'.

The cold air is a good idea if you want the intake air temps to read lower, and it will also help the ultra sensitive maf read airflow correctly. My unboxed sri gets the maf confused if I drive into the wind lol.

two tuning sessions?????

two tuning sessions?????

We found that his dinky little exhaust was a huge bottleneck with the larger turbo ;). The car made almost 280whp at 14.5psi but we couldn't get it above about 310whp no matter what we threw at it. Upon later inspection, we found that his muffler is baffled and there's a custom section in the cat-back that necks down smaller than 2.5". It seems this exhaust flows very well up to around 300-310whp but doesn't want to handle anything more. Next week we're going to do some testing with a very free flowing exhaust to verify that this is indeed the major restriction.

+1 for putting the extra time in. You rock Ed. Can't wait for my newest tune.

Thumbs up to Ed for getting my car to run great. It was a pleasure - thanks again.

two more days to wait seems like an eternity but only because i already know what is in store for my car. It's great to see that Ed is continually busy tuning and growing his business. The crappy part for me is my lack of patience as the wait grows..The rules of supply and demand are in full effect. My first tune was done a couple days after setting my appt. The second tune was a week after my appt. This tune is almost two weeks after my appt. The next time i need a tune ... three weeks? Ed needs to clone himself ... or i need to learn more patience. Maybe both but either way big props to the EQ crew for working dilligently towards giving me a strong stage 1 build, a solid and methodical break-in map, and great power and drivability from the tune. I'll post my dyno when i get it.

just got my car back.. initial feelings are better than ever.. over 270/286 on a conservative tuned vf43 is pretty incredible. Not just because of the really good numbers... more because the car idles, drives, sounds so smooth at any speed. Thanks so much ed for continuing to deliver the best service ive ever had.

Got my 08 STI tuned by Ed. Only power mods are a Invidia catted DP and AEM CAI. Made 255HP/265TQ on 91 Octane and 97 Degree weather.

Due to an issue with a weak stock fuel pump Ed and I did two separate tuning sessions. I think each time we spent 3+ hours on the road. Ed was meticulous on details - when the wideband wasn't reading right he made sure we went back to the shop and move the sensor to a new locaton for better reading. He also tried hard to isolate and eliminate any possible shift knock the car might've had. Overall I got 6+ hours of top-notch professional tuning for 1 price. Nothing more need to be said. Well worth the drive to Fairfield! Thanks Ed.

Just wanted to say thanks to Ed for the great tune on my car today my car to run great.Thanks so much ed

are my PM's getting through?

Sorry for the noob question , but just wondering if my 04 rex can be tuned with a v1 accessport? my mods are soon to be vf43, turboxs tmic, 565cc injectors, up dp exhaust , turbo inlet, Short ram intake etc.. I know cobb does not offer a vf43 map so I was just wondering... Thank you..

From what i understand, Ed can tune that no problem.

Bump for EQ! Thanks again for the tune today guys! Car is running great! I was smiling all the way home. :-)

how much is enough interest?

We have had a few tuners come out here but none of the Top Guys in the Suby tuning world (Yourself, Tim B, Jeff, Jr, AL, pnlGeroge and a few others)...right now its nice b/c of the different amount of tuners that are starting to make trips out here so it keeps them on there toes as far as quality of their tunes (which we had a problem with in the past). It has also been a pain in the ass to find a tuner that likes to tune and run alky. But I think its time for one of the greats to come out here. I know that Chris from ams is comming out in the begining of Dec so your best be would be sometime after that like Jan or later...

PM you as well.i guess illpost it up here as well
since the last tune you told me my injectors were pretty much maxed out.and since im going to have to start over with the tune i figure ill get a set of 850cc.and with an injector change is there an intake you would suggest over my cobb sf setup?possibly a aps or amr cai?larger intake?ks tech 73mm?
let me know asap.i have the injectors lined up and want to get a new intake if needed asap.i figure tune right after jan 8th

That's an awesome deal for the custom tune. I wish I was local so I could have mine done. What's the most power you've gotten from a GT35 set-up on a stock motor?

This is an 02 WRX that we had in last week. We swapped out his loud BPM TBE for a nice stealthy MadDad TBE with high flow cat. Then of course it was time for a re-tune. This car has:

Hi Ed,

How hard would it be to get these kind of numbers on a 06 wrx with a VF39 and fairly same supporting mods? I have a FMIC too and everyone says the VF39 is a little small for it causing lag, did you notice any of this with this tune?

Hi Ed,

How hard would it be to get these kind of numbers on a 06 wrx with a VF39 and fairly same supporting mods? I have a FMIC too and everyone says the VF39 is a little small for it causing lag, did you notice any of this with this tune?

I would expect similar power from an 06 WRX with similar mods under similar conditions. I would personally recommend a good set of headers as well if your'e trying to hit these kinds of numbers.

There is definitely a little less overall transient response with the FMIC, but there are a couple tricks with the setup and tune that can help alleviate the lag.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I think I need to figure out what my goals are. I know that I want more than what it puts out, it trapped @105mph last time I ran it. I think it will be slower now with the 6 speed as I will probably have to shift into 5th.

I have some brake pads on order with Brendon, Maybe I can have a couple minutes of your time to discuss options when I come by to pick them up?

I'll be happy to chat as long as I'm not out tuning ;).
