Here is a 2012 STI we built with a 9:1 compression ratio motor. This is on E85, stock turbo, TBE, Intake, Injectors, Tomei Headers at 23psi peak. The two first pulls are in 3rd gear and the final pull is in 4th gear.

Another build fired up. This one was brought to us after sitting at another shop for 3 years. We went through everything, re-built the motor, etc, etc. This one should make some serious power once its broken in 
Also... a 2015 STI is in for a build!

Not a Subaru, but last week we destroyed our dyno record while tuning an Alpha 12 GT-R making 1129whp. Then we went out to the drag strip with the customer and ran an 8.7 1/4 mile pass! Here is the video:

This is one of the cleanest and well taken care of STI's I've seen in a long time! I had the pleasure of tuning this car on E85 and got great results without pushing it too hard.
The car came in running a tune from another tuner. The customer complained about drivability issues and sluggish performance. We did one baseline pull and saw that the fuel trims were maxed out, causing the car to run extremely rich. You can see this pull in the dyno chart in black. Without making any mechanical changes to the car at all, I proceeded to do a nice custom tune at 22psi peak. The results are awesome and the customer is very happy!

Here is a 2015 WRX we worked on last week. We installed the sexy ETS TBE and tuned the car using Cobb AP. No other mods on the car at that point and I kept the tune on the safe side all around. These cars could really benefit from a larger intercooler and likely an intake. That's next up for this customer.

Here is another build we finished a while back and recently tuned on E85. This is a 2012 WRX with EQ Stage 2 Block, EQ Stage 2 Heads, Blouch 440XT, ID1300's, Process West TMIC, AEM CAI, Walbro 450lph Hardwired, etc. This thing has a really fun powerband!

Here is our video from our last track test at Buttonwillow Raceway. We managed to set the fastest lap times of the day:

Here is our brand new EQT-1 Turbo which is now available!
This is a 20G variant turbo that we selected for excellent mid range spool and torque as well as very nice gains up top as compared to the stock STI turbo. We kept things simple with a tried and tested journal bearing center section to improve reliability and reduce costs. Here is a comparison of the EQT-1 turbo on E85:
The pink curve is the EQT Turbo on a stock engine 2010 STI with light supporting mods, running 23psi peak on E85. The blue curve is a similarly equipped stock turbo STI on an aggressive E85 tune running 24psi peak. As you can see, by about 3800RPM the EQT turbo takes off and really fills in the powerband up top where the stock turbo always falls flat. There is over a 70whp gain above 6000RPM! The EQT Turbo is capable of 400whp on a more aggressive setup and built motor while retaining excellent spool characteristics. On the street the turbo feels nearly like stock, but keeps on pulling where the stock turbo dies off. This is a perfect option for anyone wanting more top end without greatly sacrificing spool and mid range response.
Price: $1195 Including all lines, fittings, and gaskets!
Please call us for any questions or orders!
