They don't have maps to match Aust conditions and fuels. Most likely due to the ease of tuning WRX's in Australia.

The MPS however is difficult to get tuned anywhere, USA and Aust, so it's a obvious gap to fill.

The maps are generic or you can have a custom tune. I will use a genereic stage 1 map to begin with which doesn't alter the stock map too much it is more focused on removing limiters/restricters.

In the future with more mods the custom map will be necesary, but for now max power isn't my main goal , I am after more corner acceleration and mid-range.

These ^^^ map notes outline the tunes pretty well. Page 3 boost maps show the aggressive reduction of boost in the higher RPM, the stage 1 map fixes that

EDIT: graphs use US Fuel grade for key, but notes are for Aust Maps.
