It's great, i have yet to dyno the car but so far I'm really satisfied with the performance.

My boost was below target with the normal stage one map so I'm now running the Stage 1 hwg map. Feels better than the regular stage 1. But don't run this map if you're hitting target boost (14.7 +- 0.5 psi)

 

I put just over 1000-miles on my Stage 1 91-octane reflash (stock except for ProDrive axle-back) last weekend on a trip from Northern AZ through SoCal and back.

Noticably smoother power delivery across all RPM's and the boost comes on quicker & stays on longer, especially in 3rd - 5th gears. Milage hasn't suffered either (?maybe improved a bit?): I averaged 25.4 MPG over this trip while running the AC on most of the time even through some nice twisty mountain sections...

Brent.

PS: Wish I could find 93-octane locally, best we see is 91 at the pumps lately...haven't even seen 92 around for nearly 2 years.

 

just wondering if anyone has the anti-theft map loaded as their base map? and if it is inconvient at all. I am paranoid about my car getting jacked but i also want my ecu to remember what its learned. tough decision.

 

yes I do. The ECU won't forget what it learned. It's programed.

There are two anti theft modes. One goes kerplunk once it turns over and the other will not allow the car rev past 1.0 RPMs.

You do reserve the option to plug back the Accessport and reprogram it to another setting.

 

Stg2/91 base, Stg2/93 RT.

 

Not set up yet. I put the 3/16" connector in and lost the original so I've been using the 3/16" since. I don't want to re-map the ECU until I get the stock connector. Besides, I want to take some measurements with the 3/16" and stock connectors before I do the re-map. With the 3/16 connector I've been boosting at 13.5 to 14 psi. I ordered a stock connector and it should arrive this week. I'm going to my friend's shop today to load test the battery (I've read horror stories of people whose batteries dropped below the minimum level) and may re-map to Stage 1, 91 octane. I received the Accessport on June 1 and it's been collecting dust since.

 

I have a Cobb AP and this Saturday I will convert to Stage 2+ with a Helix Uppipe and Downpipe, as well as a Borla Hush catback exhaust. Hell Yeah! :banana:

 

235 AWHP
216 TRQ
On ATP's Dynojet using 91 OCT.

Disappointing but I had alot of other supporting mods. The VF34 stage is for what it is. Just VF34. I couldn't wait for the tuner so I sold my port and got Vishnu xede
tuned by Shiv himself instead. Got:

246 AWHP
225 TRQ
on Vishnu's Dyno Dynamics (reads lower than Dynojet by about 7%) using 91 OCT

I can't wait to dyno it at ATP agin to see the real difference.

Sure dude. I've been running it for awhile now and it's awesome. I haven't dynoed it, but it should be running around 300 hp/tq. It hauls butt and really has a lot more pull on the top end, it's almost scary. The uppipe is giving me better throttle response from the quicker turbo spool, and the downpipe along with the catback is allowing me to push 16 psi (appx.). I'm trying to get together with a friend who has an STI to see how it compares, so I'll let you know how that goes.

It's loud, but not too loud. It has a deep rumble and roars as you rev, but it's not too loud at all while cruising in the cabin. You can hear the turbo spool extremely well. It's just awesome in every way.
