Default TopSpeed's 2008 STi - Cosworth FMIC installed!! (post 147)

Wife surprised me on Tuesday with a loaded Lighting Red 08 STi. I have wanted one for some time now. So right away I put on my 265/35/18's and did the Navi Hack so I can ... I mean my daughter can watch dvd's while were driving. I will try to keep updating this thread like I did with my Brighton on RS25.com

Will do, I actually plan to document all the mods I do. Hopefully next week I will have the AP on it so I will post before and after dyno runs. Both with the off the shelf Cobb maps then my custom protunes. After that it will be header and exhaust and then a tune again.

Don't worry.. it will be sick, and I will be sure to keep updating this thread.

Doug, That tune is working out great, even though that intake sucks when its super hot out. I can just feel the car retarding timing like crazy, any recomendation while I wait for your next visit?
