I got my car tuned yesterday!
Mike from Gruppe-s tuned my car yesterday w/ an ecutek reflash. I was hoping for 200+ hp and torque, and thats what I got! Not bad for a commuter car...he said the cat was limiting me by about 10 hp.
mods: Vishnu uppipe, Vishnu 3" tbe w/ high flow cat, samco intercooler hoses

Dave and I have fairly similar mods and output as well.
This is my EcuTek tune, still needs a bit of work cause my car is a really funky 04.

I have an ERZ flex uppipe, 3" Stromung divorced wasted gate, stock 3rd cat, 2.5" stromung cat-back, intake elbow delete.
Hopefully Moike will be available soon to smooth out the last bit and I will be set.

I don't have a base run b/c the ecu I had was tuned by vishnu for stage 1, 93 octane. My car was never on the dyno with the stock ecu unfortunetly. My best guess would be that I was making around 175 whp before the tune.
