Default Had my STi5 TEK3'd at BRD...

Laughed all the way home

Amazing difference, im now inspired and off to plan some bigger mods

The main differences now are the higher boost, fuel economy seems improved somewhat, the full rev range of the STi is now actually useful as it pulls hard all the way, and the car is generally smoother, particularly off boost.

HKS headers appeared to make a big difference too

Good to quiz Bob too, very switched on chap and I wont be going to anyone else.

What mods did you have when you got it remapped? I want to go down this route but want to know what I should change before the remap. Cheers.

Only mod I had doen to mine was a STi panel filter and ran it on Optimax and Millers OB for a few tankfuls beforehand.

Make sure you got plenty of petrol in the car beforehand!!!!

Davey, see if we can get a group discount

Hi Dazza, I was going to speak but didn't want to interrupt Ta for the comments, just got to get my OZ's on there and the outside will be staying standard. Got your work cut out removing all the stickers

Ron, how many sets of wheels you got?!

Hepy, Car has HKS headers, HKS up-pipe, H&S DP, HKS Hiper system, Green panel filter. Headers are highly reccomended. (wrapped)

Now considdering an APS FMIC and some form of turbo change, plus fuel pump and reg. But we shall see. Its plenty quick now, but you soon get bored
