Posted on Nasioc, figured I'd share here as well :)

Event: Dyno
Location: BrenTuning -- Charlton, MA
Ambient Temp: 45*
Elevation: ~900
Car: 2015 STi
Tuner: BrenTuning
Dyno Info: Mustang MD150 AWD
Transmission: 6MT
Gear: 3RD
Peak HP at RPM: 400.5 @ ~6300
Peak Torque at RPM: 370 @ ~4700 (earlier in 4th or on street)
Baseline HP/TQ for a stock 2015 STi: 240/240
Target Boost: ~20
Fuel: 93 Oct + Meth for cooling (not for tuning/power)

Engine/Power Modifications:
- Stock engine/Clutch/Trans/Mounts/Suspension 18K miles
- Blouch 3.5XT-R
- KillerB 2 bolt header Swaintech coated
- Grimmspeed thermal coated DP
- Grimmspeed TMIC Thermal coated w/ y-pipe kit
- ETS "Quiet" Catback
- Perrin 3" inlet
- IAG TGV
- ID1000
- Cobb stumble kit
- IAG Street AOS
- Cobb EBCS
- AEM 320 Pump
- AEM Meth in factory washer reservoir for cooling only

Figured I'd post this car up based off of customer feedback -- it has garnered a lot of attention on our FB/IG. Customer contacted looking to maximize the stock engine until he can go rotated/closed deck, this should hold him off for a little while :). This setup is designed around the factory engine to maximize the OEM powerband. Power on the street comes on fast, while obviously it does come on slower than stock, it almost always is making the same TQ (and more) as the VF48. This is on 93 pump with an AEM meth kit (mounted in the front bumper and utilizing the factory washer tank) used for cooling only, not power production. Car made 360WHP on the internal gate it came with, we left it at a very gentle 20PSI for stock engine/clutch longevity. I have basically the same setup on a built engine, stock heads, 93/meth doing 510WHP driven incredibly hard for the past 1.5 years. It really is a great turbo.

Re: How much did you spend

^^^well if we are talking mods for 0ver 100 horsepower increase, than ya its not hard to rack up the $$$Bills, as there is just WAY too many aftermarket parts available for the STI/WRX. That's not a bad thing, but it makes it hard to avoid dumping money into the car. I remember when I got mine in 09' and I was looking at rotated turbo kits, all the suspension upgrades, body panels such as hoods and trunk lids and had to resist the temptation since I wanted to keep it relatively stock.

The only thing owes to having a selection of after market parts is the ability to make choices. After all on average you only need one of each (there are parts you will never want or need, and a few like rods, rings, pistons and injectors and cam parts that pull that average up) closer to 1.

Depends on what modifications you start with. If you're interested email me - sales@brentuning.com

I could never give up my washer tank. I'd probably find a way to stealth install the tank in the trunk, perhaps in the spare tire area.
This still sprays the windshield as well, could never get rid of that feature on a street car!

4th gear is way too long on the 07+ STi. Unless it's a 500+WHP car, 3rd is what we use. 4th produces higher numbers if you want to know about "padding". Mustang dynos are all SAE. Stock 2015+ baseline around 240WHP on this dyno.
