Since WBM and a couple of EFI threads a bunch of members on here have asked me to start a journal to give a farther look into my Subaru. Between work, the car, and other random events I haven't had much time to get around to it but I finally found a spare minute to get this done.
I picked up the car about 20 months ago and the modding started one week before it came in when I ordered a set of rally armor mudflaps. I broke the car in properly and after a couple months flashed it stage 1 with a Cobb Ap. After another few months I decided to go the typical route and get a stage 2 protune. I went with a local tuner on LI which resulted in 2 cracked pistons a scant 8 hours after my tune. It was about that time I decided I'd never take the easy way out by trying to avoid a 3hour ride to CT and from that day on EFI Logics has been the only shop trusted to work on my car.
While I certainty don't mind getting my hands dirty and can say most of the mods put on the car I've done myself, all the serious things/things you need a tune for I've had the pro's at EFI do. The car's ECU has only been touched by Chris @EFI and since bringing my car there I've had no serious problems and any little ones have been immediately taken care of by EFI.
The car is currently making 420whp and 430wtq on their heartbreaker mustang dyno, on low boost, and with a couple more small things and the addition of more boost, she'll hopefully break the 500whp mark when the temps come back down.
If you have any questions about the car feel free to ask, I'll try to help as best I can.
Thanks!

The plan is to get more fuel into the car since e85 burns a fair bit faster than normal pump gas. That combined with more boost should produce another 30-40whp no problem. During the winter I'm planning to try out the new ETS TMIC and see what power that addition will net. I don't plan on putting a FMIC on the car. Stay posted for any farther details and EFI may have some surprises coming shortly with the car ;)
