Evening Ladies and Gents

My names Aaron, however my friends call me Howie. Feel free to use either!

I've just purchased my first Subaru

2002 Impreza S WRX Club Spec
88000km

Below, a list of car specifics which may or may not be legit as no paperwork has ever been provided to the last 2 owners of its history.

Engine Rebuilt with forged internals & Bored to 2.2litre
Rebuilt Gear Box
Heavy Duty Clutch & Flywheel
STI Turbo (currently running 16psi)
Front Mount Intercooler
Greddy Eboost 2 Controller
K&N Air Filter
Stainless Turbo Back Exhaust
After-market Performance Fuel Pump
750cc Injectors
Stock ECU
19" Konig Afterburners

So.....

This evening being Friday I had Simon from Predator Performance in Singleton check over my car and do some remapping.

I don't claim to be 100% on the process because I'm new to all this so please be patient and I'll get all the details up ASAP.

Simon has explained that the car was running rich and ignition timings were all over the shop.

Now running 23psi and have diverted back to using the ECU to control boost and the Greddy is now an expensive & ugly boost gauge.

Car will be picked up tomorrow as I'm currently on night shift in the city.

Very EXCITED to see how his tune went.

I've heard nothing but good things about this bloke and his knowledge.

True test will be tomorrow when I pick her up.

Thoughts, comments and general chit chat welcomed and encouraged.

Thanks

Please ask Predator performance which software he is using to remap your stock ECU.

UPDATE


OK WOW
This thing rocks
Why I never bought a Subaru to start with is beyond me!

Pulls very hard in comparison to anything I've ever owned (6ltr VE SS & Mazda RX8)

There is no comparison and I now see why so many people are passionate about these cars!

so here's how it all went down today.

Simon ended up leaving the Greddy to control the boost which allows me to run a high or low boost setting.

Now Running
Low - 10psi
High - 22psi

Full remapping using ECU EDIT.

He did tell me a lot about the process however for someone that is new to the scene it was a lot to take in.


The next step
- Upgrade ECU to an Alcatek
- 4 bar sensor
- Antilaser

Thoughts and comments on current setup and future upgrades would be appreciated.

Cheers guys!

A friend is using it, the new one can jam lidar camera (tripod) and lasar gun (hand held). But doesnt work on fixed ones. U have to get the proper (expensive) ones.
