I went in for my 7500mi service and even though it took them about 1~1.5hrs they let me take out a loaner car because they didn't want to inconvenience me. Even though initially I told them I only needed my service, on the way there my fiance reminded me to ask them about reflashing my ecu to fix the 07 STi's power surge at 3k-4k rpm. They were very knowledgeable and friendly and went out of their way to keep me a happy camper. Needless to say, my car is very smooth now when shifting past 3500 rpm.

 

Did business with them years ago when purchasing my 02 wrx great dealer.

 

mark and mike are cool service writers

 

isnt that why you have an STi, for the surge of power!?

Yeah Subaru Santa Cruz is pretty cool, the only time ive driven a WRX, they let me take it up to the hills too.

I'll go there so they can service me

 

they do rock their. I look forward to getting my next car there too.

 

my car has this sudden surge of power between 3500-4000rpm as well

 

It's called boost creep

 

it's called a turbo

 

+mivec

=P

 

I've gone up there once, but ended up not getting the 30k service done. However, for any major problems that a local shop (method built/GST) cant solve, I'll go to SCSubaru

**** cypress coast, their service manager deserves to get beat with an old rusty exhaust

 

The feel of my fiance's 04 STi and my 07 STi is quite noticeably different. Say you're driving in 3rd gear and you are accelerating on an off-ramp and you're trying to match the flow of traffic by the time you merge on...from 3rd gear around 3500rpm the car feels like it's dragging and the turbo doesn't spool, but once it hits 4000rpm there is a slight hesitation before you're pushed back in your seat and the car takes off. After the reflash, the transition between gears is smoother and there is no hesitation before the turbo spools.

 

subaru of santa cruz is awesome. they warrantied me a new motor about 33K miles ago. too bad they couldn't throw in a 2.5L block while they were at it though

 

agree cypress sucks but for a different reason for me.

 

oh cool. cuz 3K - 4K seemed like a pretty big range to get rid of "surge"

 

wait a minute.

07 sti?!?!!?

since when did u have that?!!?
