Very Nice! Keep this updated with your TPG tune, I am kicking around the idea with my 11. Factory tune in this is horrible, I need a AP! What downpipe are you going to use?

Nice ride! Let us know how the E85 tune turns out. I really want to get my 08 STI tuned on E85. I think I'd probably need to swap out the ID1000's for 1300's though and that gets expensive quick

Thanks! I miss the Mustangs but it's nice to have something that is all weather that doesn't depreciate in the garage like my two priors. I loved them both and I'll have another (probably a 13 GT500 in the next few years). I'll be using the Invidia catted downpipe as recommended by Nate at TPG (I wanted catted specifically). I can't imagine running a WRX without a tune. This my third including an 04 WRX and an 09 WRX. Both had Stage 1 tunes. The stage 1 on the 2.5 EJ's is a must. The difference is pretty radical relative to ease and cost.

Thanks, will do. Not sure on your injectors, you may need the 1300s due to the bigger turbo. You may also need fuel lines. Nate is a good source for the WRXs if you have questions and would be getting it protuned at TPG he would probably be happy to help. He had the White R32 Skyline at Cars and Coffee in Warrendale two weeks back.

This weekend? Man you're not wasting time getting ready for that rematch!
You'll have to wait until I replace the main seal though because the clutch slipped on one WOT run yesterday. Maybe that will give me enough time to get the big turbo back from the shop... :icon_mrgreen:

That blue is gorgeous. None of the pictures here really capture it. It matches really well with yellow jacket carcass.

Yeah I have to do it while my mind is made up or I'll end up with another V8!

Thats one of the main reasons I bought mine was for the all weather feature. I quickly found out this winter a good set of winter tires are a absolute MUST, FARRRRR more than I imagined or realized. I had my eye on the Namless products for exhaust, but idk yet... So I have heard about at least a stage one tune being a must, I am starting to agree- but I suppose I don't really know what I'm missing beings mine is the only one I have ever really been in and it's dead stock. They say a Cobb stage one tune makes all the difference in the world. And I'm afraid to go stage two with it because I want reliability from it. Idk what to think yet...

Buy an Accessport on Craigslist and try it. You can sell it with no loss if you don't agree, which you will. Totally different car.
