Well I just had my car down at P&L (http://www.pandlmotorsports.com) In Chicago. First off, Great guys down there! They definitely put up with a lot of questions that I had and I couldn't be happier with the results and the outcome of the way the car's parts came together!

Jorge is an excellent tuner and a great guy, we had a slight issue that originated to the previous owner of my Accessport (Used FTL!) but Jorge kept Troublshooting and eventually got the issue resolved and I can't thank him enough for keeping on it and getting the car on the dyno!

Anyways on to the mod list.

2002 WRX with stock 2.0
-VF43
-DeatchsWerks 650 cc Injectors
-Walbro 255
-Turbo XS Catless UP with flex
-Turbo XS Turbo Back Exhaust
-STi TMIC
-K&N Typhoon
-APS Dual Vent BOV
-GM Boost Solenoid

And most importantly ProTune by Jorge at P&L

End result...

Max Power: 287.51
Max Torque: 276.84

Run 7-9 in post #21

The power doesn't even tell the half of it, seriously I've never used the phrase, "It drives like butter," or for the better part of it, understood the saying until I drove this car after the tune, it's amazing! Jorge does amazing work and it's kinda scary at how smooth the car picks up and you don't even notice the kind of speeds you pick up initially until you're there, RIDICULOUS!

I'm still in Chicago at my brother's house and will be heading home today, I'll scan the dyno sheet in and post it after I get it all in.

EDIT: Just noticed the time the dyno sheet was printed off... Still a HUGE thanks to Jorge and the crew at P&L for getting the tune off and being a huge huge help to me! :)

ProTune FTW :) :banana:

Congrats nice numbers!!! Did you do the the P&L VF43 upgrade kit, that was a good deal package they had.

Jorge's tunes are like butter they come fast and flatten out to redline. I'd never get tuned by anyone other than Jorge as long as he is tuning he has a me as a customer.

Nice job Jorge!!!

Hey, this is Brad. I was the other guy there with the 04 STI. Nice numbers, almost got to 300hp.

hey brad! it was cool to meet another Nasioc'er lol

yea almost the 300, 13 shy, oh well, the smoothness of the car makes up for that ;)

the car drove great and i had a little fun on some on ramps but other than that long 6 hour drive back home, but it was definitely worth it!

Sounds good, glad everything ended working out for you. I love my tune, pulls so hard all the way up top now.

Nice numbers Christian, hopefully you're clutch/tranny will hold up to the strain without much fuss.

Now, get me a timeslip!

Awesome graph. No wonder its so smooth. Looks ideal for a fun driving car with the flat curves.

Christian's brother here. I'm glad everything worked out. That stinks that is all came down to used AP issue, you were definitely in the right hands for figuring it out. That was the first time I had met Jorge and what a class act. Now you can focus on you other mods, including your anti-rocking horse mod.

We got some good video of the dyno runs and some open road drive-bys so you can hear the APS/intake/exhaust. POST THEM!!!

Here's the video, in total there were 9 runs, and I put them all on lol, I also have video from the front, but it's a .mov file so I'm going to have to use my friends mac to be able to splice it together with those ;)

definitely will Jorge! I doubt I'll be doing anything more engine wise to this car, but the next one will definitely be on it's way to you, especially if it's an 08+ STi... downpipe + Jorge tune FTW on that one :)

lol alright... you could've come back and been a random person in the video too :lol:

I'm not exactly sure of the psi lol, but according to the boost gauge it's about 20.5...
