    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.

    what u mean by automatic?
    i dont own any automatic car?
    but which is more important AP or Ecutek both do same thing but which one has a edge over another?

    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.

    Well if you really want to do that then get a

    CAI
    uppipe catless
    downpipe highflow cat 3"
    exhust w/ mid pipe 3"
    cel fix
    bigger turbo
    bigger intercooler (tmic or fmic)
    new bov
    injectors
    ecutek
    new boost solenoid

    and maybe some meth


    and you should be around there

    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.
