I think you will find that MMS will refer you onto Race Torque , as they dont have a tuner at the moment.
IMO ASG is the go!

Read up some more as that is wrong.

Verso = Openecu software. MMS uses ECUTek software. The software allows the tuner to access the ECU and change parameters. Both will be transparent to Subaru - they can go and read your ecu, do all the normal things with no problems.

Where you are getting confused is once you buy into the ECUTek software, your ECU is locked to their tuning software. Think of it like a different format on your computer.

I've got a MY06 STI and did similar mods to you. I've got a 3inch TBE, and a walbro fuel pump, the only thing I don't have is a CAI. I got mine tuned at MMS and it netted me 199.9 KW (267.96HP) at all 4 on 18 PSI.

Get some suspension mods so the car handles well also. Stock '06 suspension handles like a Commodore IMO.

Hi,

I had a MY06 sti which I did more to the handling first than tuning of the car.

Had a set of Cusco Zero2e coilovers and front strut bar. The car handles much better during corners than before.

Do a track day or two with it Dan. See how it goes when pushed hard.

Then if you want a little more:

Sways (best to speak to Wheels World on F/R setup's for your style)
Springs
Anti-lift kit
Roll centre kit
Pro-wheel alignment (i.e. Not Bob Jane spec, so Wheels World)
Strut braces = minor difference on the GD chassis (probably do it all at once if you want)

Can do coilovers if you want. Ive got the Cusco 2E's as well, electronic in-cabin adjustment. They handle great but the ride on our crappy roads is terrible even when set to the softest setting.

Tein Super Street's + EDFC are a better option for daily/track duties imo.
