AP +downpipe + protune

hogwild · 09-14-2008, 10:53 AM

08 STi's only! Does anybody have this set up? This is what I want to do, but still alittle afraid of boost creep?? Is this a good plan??

Yes, this is my setup. A protune will eliminate any tune issues (such as boost creep). This is assuming that the tuner is good, of course.

I am up in Fort Collins. Where did you go to get your protune?

Sorry to hijack the thread...AP+downpipe+protune is in my immediate future also.

You've got PM (to unhijack the thread

)

If you go from AP+DP and Protune, and latter you want to add the exhaust, do you need to protune again?

Doubt it, and certainly wouldn't be worth the money. Most report gains around 5hp. Just wait till you add a bigger turbo/injectors/pump/interc/etc. and need a more aggressive tune.

Thanks linkbeat!

I would also say that location / altitude changes everything. Per Adam at Revolution Motorsports in Colorado Springs, none of the OTS maps work properly here - even with Cobb being in Salt Lake.

YMMV, of course, and any other applicable disclaimers.

Thanks Gil, now I can´t wait (both Perrin and Cobb are on backorders)
