I'm curious as well. I was tuned on a rainy evening.

The numbers were lower than I expected, but my tuner was satisfied with the results. Overall it was a conservative tune. 216 whp, 272 tq (mustang dyno) on my 05 fxt with a new TD04. Mods: turbo back catless exhaust, 3port bcs, tgv deletes.

Ugh well bad news today, couldn't get the AP to initialize with the ecu even with the blue connector installed and test connectors plugged into each other.

Last time this wasn't an issue.

Luckily I'm going to be able to borrow another 02 wrx ecu from a member on here to see if the ecu is the problem or not... if it isn't then I'll need to trace down the wiring from the initialization connector and see if something has became disconnected.

Always something right? lol

Turns out the APV1 corrupted my ecu, fortunately joltdudeuc was kind enough to let me use his spare 02 ecu which we were able to load a vf34 base map onto.

Reschedule another tuning appt for this Friday to have another go at this.

If it helps to ease the pain I can bring a pack of your favorite liquid refreshment to celebrate a successful tune
