I-Speed thoughts

ok, after reading lots and lots of posts. seeing the good and the bad (90% was good)
i have had a few people tell me to stay away.
Well, being a RS owner there are few people that do reflahes for us.
I-Speed now has a reflash for $350. Which is half as much as others reflashes.

So, people that have been tuned from them. please post your thoughts.

oh, i am a so cal person, but was told you guys are the ones that know most about I-Speed.

Thanks
Shane

good luck noticing that... not worth the trouble let alone the money or the risk that your engine will go boom as per the images above...

the dyno sheet specifically indicates that it is showing flywheel hp, meaning the difference is more like 7 whp.

apparently you didn't read anything on i-club because 90% of the stuff on here is bad. Many many people here hate i-speed and they are never allowed to be a vendor on i-club again due to various reasons

true, but this was with a stock RS.
and i know RSs dont make power. so everbody little bit helps.
i know wrxs make good power from cheap mods. we just put full exhaust from header back and only make like 10hp. and we feel that

I-speed is a joke. Take your car there at your own risk. They have destroyed more cars than the monster truck "Big Foot".

I just ran into a guy last night at a restaurant, who told me that he was going to get a WRX engine swapped into his 2.5RS by I-Speed in San Jose.

I completely forgot about all the negative feedback that company has received from this forum. Well, I hope him the best in his engine swap!

I-SPeed isnt in SJ anymore, and as far as I know, the guy who did their swaps now works at LIC.
