Too bad it has been raining all day because its hard to really get an idea of the mod. I can feel a bit of a diffrence regardless. BTW, My only other mod is a BOV I put on yesterday.

So, comments from someone else where its not raining who has also installed their AccessPORT?

Stage 1 91 oct.
It too damn wet to drive the piss out of it so I guess it feels stronger.
Before I could hardly hear my APS top mount BOV with the return feed which now makes a loud whoosh when pushed hard. So its definatly holding more boost but I can't say exactly how much.

I was hoping someone else could chime in with something better. Sorry..

For me the STi (when it is not pulling timing) is plenty fast... So my only reason for getting engine management will be to make sure it is ALWAYS fast. Please also consider the consistency of the power in your further testing of the AP. If the Cobb flash fixes this as well then it is my next purchase.

Does the bov work correctly with the accessport?!! that was one of the reasons I wasnt going to get AP (as I didnt know if you could use a bov properly now or not?!?). Please let us know!

Robert~

ps - also by working correctly, I mean does it allow you to run 100% atmospheric and not run super rich.

I installed the AP today. It drives just like stock except for, a) it's really smooth(idle and acceleration), you'll notice the difference(I'm running stage 1 93 octane map). b) it pulls/bites harder and earlier in the rev band but, again, very smooth. It gets you to speed quicker if you stay in the prime rev band(IMO 3-4.5k).

Don't expect HUGE change. I think it's a great start and with more stages(stage2 and beyond) it will make the STi an even more formidable.

Installed mine over the weekend. Stage 1 93 octance. I am pleased, runs smooth and I'd swear I'm boosting faster, hitting peaks of around 17 before tapering down towards redline. I'd say for a simple computer adjustment to a completely stock car, this is exactly what I'd expect. After all, I doubt Subaru would ship the car with too much wasted potential.

I installed mine on Friday and have 200 miles on it with the AP.

I'm running stage 2 93 and it's PULLS! I love it! Peak psi is 16 with my headers. I may go back to the OEM ones until I can get a custom flash from a shop with the Pro Tuner which isn't released yet so I can hit the 17.5-18 psi others have seen.

Yeah , I meant to say

"Yeah Trey , What about that exhaust setup like Daemon asked"

Only to re-enforce what you had asked. I was trying to type that, but was distracted on the phone by work (The nerve of them while im surfing )


Oh well , at least we are keeping it on the top and it is probably email him - LOL
