I feel unsafe from reading all this threads about all sorts of different mods to go with to not do it with an experience STI tuner.

Im pretty sure Nino is moving down there...(like this week) ...He has helped out lots of Subie owners here in Nj for a while... Look into it..

Hey im in South Miami also. Hit me up with a PM sometime.

I'll try calling today, thax. :disco:

The most active on these boards and well known Suby shop I know of in FL is Mastro WRX in Tampa.

http://www.mastrowrx.com/

I believe they are the only EcuTeK programmer in FL too.

im goin to college in january in south florida. I would say where but you never know who is watching to see where you park your car. Damn theives. I live in ny now but iam brining my car. Im gonna need to meet up with some local subuie heads.

Yeah hit up Mastro, give Nino a shout, and Hook up with the jacksonville mod squad.

Nino will be in Ft. Myers next week. Mastro is in Tampa. Now I have to decide what to do.

By the way, nothing has to do with Jacksonville. Jacksonville is way north pole of Florida. :disco:

You might want to check out Sam at Costal Dyno. He is a great guy www.costaldyno.com and would be worth looking up.

make the tuning worth your money. take it up to Central Florida Turbo and have rolo tune it for you.

I just emailed CFT about getting a tune, possibly. Unfortunately, I'm using the Cobb AP ( :rolleyes: ) right now and would have to get some other form of engine mgmt.

I'm stock turbo/intercooler/fuel system/etc right now. Just Cobb Stg 2 (accessport) with TBE & UP. Would need to ditch the AP for somes engine mgmt they can tune for. Any suggestions, considering my setup now?

OK, I have another suggestion, but it's not a Subaru outfit. Southern Florida is a desert for Subarus. You are lucky if you see one a week.

OK, there is a place in South Miami right off of the Dixie called Active Autowerkes. They are not as well known as Dinan or Turner in the BMW world, but they are awesome tuners. I went to their shop just to talk to them and check the place out. (My sister is in Miami).

They don't know Suby's directly, but they know cars like almost nobody else. PM me and I can tell you exactly where it is, but Mapquest will do the same.

two suggestions come to mind. AEM or Microtec. microtec is CHEAP and does a LOT for the price. for a regular WRX its more than enough. Sergio runs one on his personal car and theyve seem some amazing numbers at the track from his setup.

my opinion, go out of state. not too many tuners in South Florida that familiar with Subaru's. I'm sure there are people who can install parts but custom tuning is another story.

FYI the nearest Dyno Dynamics 4WD is in GA @ Dyno4mance. Ive been there...in fact im there now!! :devil:

That was nice Opie!

Cobb is a bad thing to do if you are not in Salt Lake, and you want to tune. Even when AccessTuner comes out, I don't think it will give you much control.

Looks like you have a few EcuTek and UTEC tuners there, and to me the best EM route is the Element Hydra (www.elementtuning.com) and anyone who can tune EcuTek or Utec could tune with the Hydra--with ease. You could tune the car yourself with a little reading and slow deliberate changes that don't upset the knock too "explosively". :D

microtec is CHEAP and does a LOT for the price. for a regular WRX its more than enough.
How cheap are we talking? There isn't much info on their site regarding prices for the various engine management options. They seem to feature MicroTec, though.

I'm going to call them Monday when I'm back in town and hopefully get all of my questions answered. I've got a buyer lined up for my Cobb AP already, so I'm set to go another route real soon.

the microtec shouldn't cost you much more than a UTEC, if it in fact does cost more than a UTEC. figure about $1000, mostly likely LESS. But I don't sell them, so I'm not 100% on the exact price.

thanks

Did you ever get you STi tuned? If so, where did you go? I'm looking for a good Utec tuner in this area.

Actually,
I haven't done any engine mods yet, I decided to mod my handling first f/r sway bars, h brace, f/r strut braces, prodrive springs w/group n strut top mounts, totalled to $1050. I should start getting these parts by next week.

Does anybody know of some good exhuast/muffler shops in FL? I want to get a custom open downpipe job because the QTP one is 600 dollars....

Unfortunatley Mastro doesnt do the ECUTEK anymore as of this past friday. They say it just wasnt worth it to them :confused: Oh well. Mikal

I need an ecutek reflash so bad. I just moved to delray beach from Ny and my car is running like s%it.Such a radical temperture change. Is there anybody within reasonable distance from here that can tune ecutek???

booked

Dyno4mance in GA a nice 12 hour hike

You'll have to go to Mastro (Tampa) to have the ECUTek reflashed. That's the closest shop around.

From what I've heard, mastro no longer tunes ecuteks. You could send the ecutek away to where you got it, and they can hopefully tune it for your mods without seeing the car.

peace

I think Mastro STILL does reflashing IF you already have the EcuTEK. It is my understanding that they will no longer do the initital OEM to EcuTEK Flash!

This thread does lead to a wide opening and distance one has to travel to get EcuTEK in the SE. EcuTEK should open up the market in the SE or loose to other EM.

just my 2cents!
