Tuning questions
Hello I'm new here and new to Subarus, and I apologize if I put this in the wrong section. I don't currently own a Subaru but I'm considering buying a new STI in a few months time and had a few questions. If I was to buy one, what sort of tuning can be done to get more power out of the turbo? I'm not much of a gearhead so chances are I'd take the car to a shop and pay them to do everything. I'd even consider getting a whole new turbo kit if it's worth it. This will be my daily driver too btw so I'd really only want to do this if the car doesn't have to constantly tuned afterwards. Simply put, once all the work's been done, I'm not going to want to mess with it anymore and want to know how possible that really is. Thank you in advance for your help/advice and please forgive me for my lack of knowledge on this subject.
Thanks, David |

Re: Tuning questions
Thanks I'll look into that. Another noob question. If I do the remap, what kind services on the motor should I expect to have to do? And how frequent? My main concern would be stuff failing like the pistons and whatnot. I'm not ashamed to admit that other than changing oil, there's not much I know how to do on an engine. How realistic is it that I won't have to be having somebody replace things often? Like I said I want this to be my daily driver and not have to worry about working on it a lot.
