Lol. YES!!!


Take your car to the track. Spend some time behind the wheel!! Then you'll learn what its capable of!

No point owning a Subaru if you are looking for numbers.... Buy a friggin big-engine V8, that can only be driven in a straight line

sounds like a pretty nice car actually. I'd imagine taking it to 22psi (1.5bar) and a more aggresiv tune (but not too agressive! maybe not at MMS..) and That would probably bring you closer to the 300hp at the wheels that you want.

Manufactureererseres claims of horse power are with the car on an engine dyno in a temp/humidity controlled dyno room at their factory under perfect conditions. In real life there is a gearbox, tailshafts, diffs, drive shafts wheels and brakes all hanging off the back of it, hence why most aftermarket dyno figures are at the wheels/hubs and seem lower. The engine in my car is rated at 206kw (280hp) but on the dyno we squeezed 190hp out of it at the wheels.

Its only numbers on a dyno means fark all...half the time just bragging rights lol

I was like that back when i got my 05STI tuned 280hp(hub) @ 1.5bar...was like ohhh gay... but fark this thing pulls like cvnt not too sure how much it makes now but still pulls hard tho i cant feel it anymore in driver seat as much.

Just go out there on the track and drive it like how it meant too...get as much seat time as you can.

The VF35 does not have enough flow to reach those boost levels on a 2.5.

I must admit I preferred the response & power when I ran the 2.5 & VF35 combo on my car.
