Just thought I would post an update:

Shiggy retuned my car on Saturday (Nov. 1st). Huge difference between this tune and the first one. Car has much more power and is making much better boost in all the gears. I'm very happy with Shiggy's tune now.

It appears that I may have had a tank of bad gas during the first tuning session, which required an incredibly mild tune to keep the engine from knocking.

My car was SLOWER than my previous stage 1 protune. I had Shiggy tune my car after having Kevin modify and install a STi downpipe (replaced the OEM cats with high flow cats). It ran MUCH SMOOTHER than the original stage 1 protune but didn't make power in 1st gear. I felt I had to work the car much harder after the Shiggy tune. I bought another ecu (didn't want to loose the ECUTEK license), and went back to using the AccessPort with a custom map from PDXTuning.

When Shiggy comes back I hope we can get a better outcome.

Steve, I'm glad you are very happy with your Ecutek tune now.
