I'd get some info from other people with stage 2 06's with tunes and see if it did make a difference....Moike usually knows what he's talking about. However, I'd go with Ed from EQ over FLI.....Ed is the man and does a great job

I have been doing business with FLI for over three years now and let me say that I have nothing but mad respect for those guys up there and i wouldn't let anyone else work on my car. They do a great job, there honest and really cool dudes with great customer service. Miles can set you up with an awesome tune that you will be very happy with.

At the time it was a 02 WRX(now have a 04 STi), 235whp torque-(can't remember) w/ a protuned stage 2 map(Accessport). My base run I believe was 205 whp so the Accessport alone added 30 whp. I was running the factory turbo but with full Samco hose setup, I/C hoses, ancillary, radiator, charge pipe and K&N panel filter w/ removed air silencer. I was also running catless turbo back exhaust and a catless Cobb up-pipe. I have to say that the Accessport is a great tool and makes the driving expierence of driving a WRX a lot more enjoyable. Since you have the 2.5 your torque numbers will be A LOT better than that of the 2.0. Good luck man!

Actually I believe I said that on a 06 WRX it is likely that the stage 2 map is damn near as good as it gets but would be happy to tune the car for the extra 2-5whp but felt the money would be better saved by you.
