    Hello all.
    Name: Ben
    Age: 37
    Nationality: Australian (with valid greencard)
    Education: Poor. My spelling should confirm this
    Car: 04 wrx

    I bought my car about 2 months ago. It was the happiest day of my life... after the wedding day I suppose.
    I am moving from Chattanooga to Buckhead next week (wifes new job) and will need to get a tune done for sure.
    I had problems getting through emissions but found a mechanic who got the check engine to go (02 and EGT sensors were bad). My main question I guess is where should I go?
    The mechanic unplugged the Engine management and it is still unplugged. I would like to take it to a shop who knows what they are doing and can get me sorted out. Driving wise... she does not feel smoothe above 4000rpms.

    Like I said folks. I am a new to the car but had a good read of forums and was happy to see how nice noobs are treated. I am all ears and hope to learn all i can so my car gets the love and attention it deserves.

    Thanks,

    Ben.

    Below is a copy and paste from the craigslist add.

    42k
    Crawford Performance Stage 2 street block
    Pink STI injectors
    Turbo XS utec Engine management with map selector switch
    Cat back exhaust off ebay but it looks and sounds good
    Blitz Blow off valve
    Turbo XS boost controller
    Blitz turbo timer
    Short shifter
    Ebay intake with K&N filter
    Paranoid fabrications Grounding Kit
    Ebay front and rear STI style strut tower bars
    Eibach front and rear lowering springs only a half inch so it still rides nice

    crawford block and bigger injectors, but no bigger turbo?? and that engine management is not liked by 90% of tuners out there. so see if you can sell it

    I haved tuned many big power setup's with a UTEC, and it works well for them.

    Welcome! Buckhead is a good area of town to move too.

    Seems like you have a strange list of parts... It'll be easy to sort your car out though. TopSpeed is where I go for tuning advice. They'll easily be able to get you taken care of.

    Welcome and let me know if I can help you out or if you have any questions. I had a fraternity brother from Australia in college at UGA. Crazy guy, lol. Used to always eat something called vegimite (spelling?). Had to have it shipped in from out of state I think.
