Get them... and get them on the car!

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out if I just wanna say f*ck it and go power route first =)

^for the original posting.

Went over to PTuning today finally.
A lot of people are running stage 1 without even knowing what it's done to their 08, not me. Got boost log up as well.
Car is stock, besides stage 1 93 octane Flash.
The stock numbers seem to be in-line with what AMR got on their DD.
All in all gained 40whp and almost 60 lbs torque to the wheels. Very happy with the car.

Dyno: Dyno Dynamics
Tuner: COBB
Wheel HP: 240 (approx 260 dynojet)
Wheel TQ: 260 (approx 280 dynojet)
Ambient Temp: 75 degrees F

Car info : Stock besides COBB AP
Baseline


Cobb Stage 1 93 oct

Most definitely!

When are you going stage 2? Or are you? I'm curious to see what the delta is between Stage 1 to Stage 2 OTS maps.

I'll be back with stage 2, but my stage 2 won't be the minimal. I'll have TBE with the downpipe.

I had KW V3's on my S2000 when i had it and they were awesome. Very nice soft ride for the street but also great on a track. I have nothing bad or negative to say about them at all. Not sure if they are much different on ride quality from an S2000 to an STI but i would recommend them to anyone based on my experiance.

I had KW V3's on my GTI. SUPER AWESOME, but my front driverside blew with about 8000 miles on them... I dont think im going to get coil overs any more heh.

[paikman]

lol it wasn't an attack on KW..i was just saying ANY full coilover is gonna be harsher then a spring/shock combo.

Updates, talked with TurboXS today, i'll be going in for a custom setup in approx 2 weeks.
JIC has FLT-TAR up on their us website, so as soon as the pricing and I can confirm I can get a H-spec of it (jdm valving and stiffer spring rate) I'll be ordering those.

Meh, the CBE won't do much for you except make your car sound better. I'm mainly curious what the graph looks like after adding a DP.

Are you going to get a protuned Stage 2 map? Just wondering if we'll see a Stage 1 OTS, Stage 2 OTS, and a Stage 2 Protuned.

Ouch, that's a lot of dyno time .

Actually on the 08's the catbacks have been freeing up another 20ishwhp and 30-40 wtorque, once tuned of course.
Actually I kind of lied I guess, my initial Stage2 will just be the 4" catless DP, and that will be on Cobb Stage 2 93 octane OTS.
Expect to see another Ptuning graph in about 2 weeks.

If I get some sort of CBE before June, I will switch to a Protune, with a Clark tune when he comes into town.
