You CAN reach it for sure, but it depends on how hard you want to push your turbo/internals. I'm not big on race gas tunes or boosting 30+ psi... Just a personal preference b/c I'm all about streetability.

Agreed, but the Red is plenty large and can get about the same #'s as the 35gtr. The nonfactory locations I usually see on STIs look way cooler though.

Another shop to look towards is Element. Phil Grabow is arguably the best tuner on the east coast.
Never gotten a tune from Phil. I'll have to check him out sometime.

well on another note to the OP :


if you are thinking about getting an STi..or you KNOW you want one,I suggest you try to get the one in the import for sale section. Hes selling it for a hell of a price with mods that would put you into the 25,000 range w/car included.

You'll be way better off buying a modified one with maintenance records. It will save thousands of dollars easily.

it depends which turbo you go with. Regardless you'll need 850/860 PE/Helix injectors, APS TGV deletes (a.k.a tumbler valves), maybe a turbo inlet and I'm not sure if his EWG setup will work with what turbo youd be getting... Possibly. Hope this helps.

lol. thats why god invented "test drives". If you dont like the way the car looks,sounds,feels,then no harm in not buying it. But atleast give it a chance.

im not sure,I didnt look into it. But the car made 305/357 on the stock turbo. It already has almost all the bolt-ons necessary. All you would have to do,is swap the turbo,and you would be good for 350-375 awhp,depending on turbo application.
