First time ever that I actually won something valuable! A free pro tune at snail performance! What should I buy and install to make it worthwhile??

 

Awesome! Congrats!
Time for an ewg and big tmic!

 

EBCS, CAI, DP, CBE, AP, Turbosmart bpv (if you dont have any of these already) Header.

 

inlet instead of CAI.

 

Nos

 

I'm thinking headers but don't I need a new fuel pump and higher cap injectors? Already with down pipe and intake.

Also I thought ebcs and bpv was only needed upwards of 400 hp?

 

also if you are doing a protune, you're gonna also want an AFR uego wideband gauge

should also get oil pressure gauge


the stock intake and BPV are fine.....

 

Well shouldn't you get fuel pump and injectors as well anyway? You'll probably max them out with the protune

 

You'll want the fuel pump at a minimum. Also have you done the stumble mod? Injectors if you get you'll have head room which any tuner likes to have. I'm at 20psi on the hybrid build with 800ccs and in the 70s with my duty cycle. You'll want a boost controller because having 3 ports of control instead of 2 like the OEM one allows better control of the whole system. If you can before tuning smoke test the car. Eliminate all vacuum or boost leaks. Allows for a smooth day on the dyno. You'll gain a lot on headers but if you're worried about smog get a ported cross pipe and you'll be better off than the factory ones. Another is TGV deletes if you would like. Pair it with some 3mm phenolic spacers for colder air into your heads. These are all things doable and only need a downpipe swap for smog when it comes up. Oh also if you go 1000+ on the injectors you can always throw some extra cash in and have an e85 tune. Travis did testing on the turbosmart dual port and he gained power overall. It's not really needed till 20psi+ but if you have the funds. It's something to have.

 

Stumble mod is bull**** get an 07 STI fpr

 

C16

 

Works for me. With the proper tune.

 

It "works" it only moves the stumble to a higher rpm which is faintly noticeable.

 

I don't feel anything on higher rpm. So, it really works. Car feels really smooth at high rpm.

07 FPR by itself won't get rid of it too. You need FPR+plumbing if you really want to do it right.

 

100% correct about eliminating it entirely. However the 07 does a better job at doing it. I dont feel it at all anymore either however through logging you can see where there is a dead spot around 4200-4700 vs 2800-3200.
