Default 2008 STi - 275whp/338wtorque

Numbers
Dyno: Dynojet
Tuner: Cobb AP OTS Stage 2
Wheel HP: 275
Wheel TQ: 338
Ambient Temp: 80degrees, 55% Humidity
Elevation:


Year: 2008
Engine Management: Cobb AP v2
Turbo: oem
Intercooler: oem
Meth Kit: n/a
Injectors: oem
Intake/Inlet: oem
Headers: oem
Uppipe: oem
Downpipe: Turbo XS 4"->3"
CBE: oem

Stock 08's have been putting down around 240 on dynojets usually.
Given this information, I'm
a) Extremely happy with the torque gain, even compaing to my DD graph (http://www.ziptied.com/Coppermine/al...9/dynocobb.jpg ) from stage 1, with a 10-15% conversion for it reading lower than a dynojet graph, I have gained at least 30 w torque putting the DP on and switching the map.
b) Extremely disappointed in what seems very neglible HP gain. I don't know if this is due to it still learning the staged map or not (car was dyno'd about 60miles after Reflash).

I will going back on Ptuning's DD to get a better comparison from the stock-stg1 graph.

This will be the only power adders for a bit till a single exit full ti exhaust comes out for me, spent a little bit of cash on some nice wheels and suspension for now.

Are the 08's using the same turbo as the 07s?

I wouldve thought the stickers would have given you like 20+hp...J/K Dude its looks good the TQ is nice at 338 I know the HP is low but that could be all in the map. I would just wait till you get your exhaust and add a big maf kit of the 08 I think AMR has a nice one and get her pro tuned.. Even though I had a 06 when I dynoed my STG 2 it was at 288WHP and 310TQ diff setups but I think you made good power for a OTS..
