+1 to Ed @ EQ Tuning
Thanks to Ed for getting my car back into tip-top shape!
This is the graph and the #'s we got off of just a TBE and a Manual Boost Controller.
Originally my car had been Dyno Tuned by Ed @ Gruppe S' Mustang Dyno and it ran great, Ed did an amazing job. Then the car ran into some problems with boost so Ed took the effort to come out locally and work on getting my car back up to par.
Since we didn't have a dyno to use, I decided to try out Ed's Road Tuning. Using some deserted backroads (long long mile long straights) Ed tuned my car using his laptop and my acessport.
But what really matters where the results...
I don't know why I didn't get Road Tuning from the start because the difference between the car coming off of the dyno and the car coming fresh from the road is ENORMOUS. The car feels like a totally different animal. The low end torque at full throttle is enough to through your body to the back of your seat. After the tuning I didn't believe that I was driving MY WRX.
Because on a Dyno you are only pulling through 3 gears your results are not suitable for real world driving. With the road tuning, your car is being tuned for gravel and REAL WORLD driving conditions.
The car put down 218 HP/267 lbs Torque at 17 PSI.
Ed is a great guy and I highly recommend his services to anyone.
Cliff Notes: Ed is an awesome tuner, Road tuning > Dyno Tuning (And 100x more fun), and he will take the extra time and go out of his way to make sure you have a completely tuned map. No "Sorry One hour is up, here have this half-assed map that I didn't get to finish" bull****

Thanks for the review Arya. The car felt really nice once everything was smoothed out. Very responsive and torquey.... it really needs a bigger turbo though .
lol @ me being a good mechanic... I can install an MBC with the best of them
Its also now blatantly obvious that I need a haircut immediately.
