Quatro - got your car back? awdorgtfo - thanks for the "straight" and "empty" road tip nearby. Gone there twice for initial base map log (REV1), and earlier tonight for the REV2 map. Eric just sent me REV3 - the guy needs to sleep. I don't have the ***** to do a 4TH gear pull, the road isn't flat / stable enough, got up to 6K RPM and decided it was crazy. Sticking to 3RD gear pulls. I guess another way to try to get max load is by cramming 3 more people in the car for the extra weight.. Car seems to be happy, no signs of boost leak, and no knocking in the logs..

REV2 = Red, REV3 = Green

 

Yup! She seems happier than ever! 0% leak down across the board and 165-170 psi every cylinder.

 

I would double check all the vacuum hoses and see if any of them are getting discolored and brittle and replace.. I would also replace the hose clamps on both the turbo outlet (the elbow hose between the TMIC ) with some good ABA / AWAB smooth band clamps. Along with the hose clamps between the TMIC and the throttle body. Additionally, if you do get a tune - replace the AIR filter with a new one and make sure you clean the MAF with some MAF cleaner before hand.. Mine leaned out half a point after I did this which required a MAF rescale.

Be a good idea to make sure you are leak free as possible (saves time and aggrevation - lol). Double check the turbo elbow hose to make sure it's not tore up (on mine, POS OEM worm clamps tore it up) then go for a Stage 1 tune with Eric @ Torqued to button her up.

Anybody know if the turbo outlet port, and elbow hose on a 2006 WRX is the same size (diameter) as a GR STI? Throttle Body and TMIC diameters also the same as the GR STI?

For my GR STI - I bought the following ABA smooth band clamps - 2 count of Part Number #45945K31 for the Turbo Outlet, and 2 count of Part Number #45945K16 for the throttle body from McMaster-Carr

 

I've never had any problems with "high speeds" on stanley.. which direction were you going?

 

Heading to livermore from pleasanton.. 4 Gear at around 6500 is around 110-115 MPH I believe. 3RD gear pulls are no problem..
