    Dyno Chart incase you were curious. First run is just STi uppipe and Stromung 3" divorced wastegate downpipe. No tuning. I had the stock 3rd cat and resonator. Stromung 2.5" axelback with dual tips.

    AP is same but different. same idea, different companies and software

    unfotunantley you may get slightly lower #'s since you have an automatic.

    There have been several threads debating the merits of the two; do a search and you'll find them.

    for basic bolt ons, i think ECUTEK or protuner are both equivalent... when u need to have multiple maps, then its time to weight the merits of the 2

    AP: can have a lot of maps but changing them requires u to come to a stop, plug in the unit and change

    ECUTEK: can only hold 2 maps that can be switched instantly while moving... currently the only difference is boost but i have heard that ECUTEK is working on 2 true maps

    I don't think the 4EAT will survive. GTscoob tried it and it did not go well.

    Accessport allows multiple maps for all models it supports. However ECUTEK only has 2 maps for the 02/03 model WRX's. Dunno about the STi but you can't have two maps for the 2004. I think the same goes for 05/06 models but I have heard that Ecutek is supposed to working on that.

    Thankfully we got that track video in before that :D

    I'm going to say just about the same numbers they did above, with meth, except about 10% gains.
