Hah, I need to learn2read. I read it as a AVO top mount... whoops.

VIPEC would be a waste of time on that 03 wrx wouldnt you say? Surely you could have open source tuned it.

Maybe they have other plans for the car in the future and would rather get it right the first time and just need a retune when adding new parts and therefor save $$ ?

I would have thought Verso or the like would have been easier too though?

Open source tune is good but Vipec is a step above open source.
A full 32bit Vi-pec ecu is always better than the stock 16bit GD unit.

We offer open source tunes at Evolution R. However, Vipec comes with awesome datalogging for drag and circuit use which open source doesnt.

A good example will be Simon's Vipec GD vs Meatbag's Verso-tuned Sti. Same power, but Roughstilin's time on the drag strip is less by more than half a second as the Vi-pec delivers smooth torque and power through the ability to datalog extensively.

So get a motec and run 10's then?

Seriously that logic is flawed.

also incorrect, open source tuned cars can be easily datalogged using OBII port and a laptop

Agreed.

Mao do you actually believe what you write? 'Cos sometimes i dont.

There's a lot more going on here than just ECU choice.

Most definitely not dude.

Giving an example between the 16bit stock factory Ecu vs 32bit Vi-pec ecu.

Logic of standard 16bit ecu vs Vipec 32bit?

I am sure the OST can datalog on the track and drag strip as well... show me pls LOL.

And which part now?
[QUOTE=RUSSGT;634529]Agreed.
