Thumbs up + Hella for EQ Tuning!

I just want to say thank you so much to everyone at EQ Tuning! I am on my 2nd tune from Ed and I am very satisfied with his work just like before. It was a really hot day for my protune (95 F) so the numbers don't show the awesomeness of Ed's tune. Ed said I would gain more hp and responsiveness at a cooler temperature and he was definately right! Trust me this car pulls!! Ed and his crew really go the extra mile in making sure your car is safe running properly, and tuned to the way you want before you leave! I recommend everybody to get tuned by Ed! I just did an autocross event today and for a bigger turbo like this and it still pulls me! It feels like a rocket! The turbo seems to just keep going and doesn't feel like it wants to stop going! I just aim and pull that trigger (gas pedal lol)! Thank you everyone at EQ for the not just the tune but the great hospitality and making me feel welcome at the shop!

That's a clean tune dude. Enjoy. Ive had 3 separate applications (stage 2 wrx, built 2.5 on a vf43, built 2.5 on 18g) and soon I will be going in for a fourth when I get my heads cnc'd to match the Sti specs. Ive been blown away everytime and also learned a ton. Ive seen ed knock out a quick tune with just a few pulls and a bit of ecu magic, I've also tuned with him when he wouldn't quit until we got perfection. It took much longer than he could have spent but It was my first tune and I was on a stock tmic without a heatshield on the turbo or an air splitter on the oem scoop. He didn't rush things and he had the patience for the cool down between pulls. I had excessive heat soak. During the cool down I asked Ed a ton of questions. Ive never really stopped asking him to this day and it's been almost two years now. He has always been honest and knowledgable. My tunes have always been top notch and I cant wait for round four.

Ya I totally agree with you. I haven't decided to make that jump yet. I would definately like to see a lot more E85 stations popping up all around california and other states as well.

Thanks for the kind words Patrick! You're always a pleasure to work with. You got yourself a very nice setup with a nice mild exhaust, so these numbers are pretty good for the 95F weather we were in. I'm sure it'll pick up an easy 10-15whp in cooler weather. The important part is that the car feels good all around and I think we achieved that .

Thanks
-- Ed

Haha I already don't want that 91 **** water they call gas. When I have more local E85 stations where I live, in the bay area and more in california I will switch. I am doing my part to make this possible.
