Does anyone know who this is?

I know its been discussed a bit of time ago, but I was curious: has anyone ever contacted this person to find out who he is and if he's on the forums?

Subaru wrx sti reflashing evo performance upgrade - $1 (sacramento)
Reply to: sale-1051473142@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

We are offering stage 1 and stage 2 reflash for wrx and sti. 2002-2007. Automatic and manual. We have taken the time to do the tuning. The basic parameters have been adjusted to gain HP without hurting the stock motor.

Stage1 will add about 20-30hp with no other modifications. stock exhaust.

Stage2 will add about 40-60hp depending on exhaust modification and if a straight pipe is used

Both flash will increase boost pressure between 14-17psi. Both fuel maps and ignition maps altered for better performance. Knock monitored and corrected. EGt are in good range.

rev limit increase.


All stages have shown better results than the competition.




Stage1 reflash - $150
Stage2 reflash - $200
Stage 3 custom reflash - $250 - editing all parameters
stock reflash - $40
Road Tuning with reflash - $300 Wideband and laptop used.
Doesnt sound very credible at all, and that is a lot of money being charged for a self proclaimed "tuner", not to mention there is no mention of a shop or business, while he refers to himself as "we".

Really? Didnt know you think so low of me I think I'm a bit better than advertising "rev limit increase" among other completely idiotic things. Havent had a single car break down on me yet or anyone having any problems after I helped them. I intend to keep it that way.

So did anyone contact this person yet?
