Nice Numbers!!

Tuned200 · 02-28-2009, 01:52 AM

Looks solid. Is the 04 a 2.0 or 2.5.

MY00Forest · 02-28-2009, 02:35 AM

2.0 block

jason miller · 02-28-2009, 03:03 AM

Looks good. Especially considering you have a cat and it's only 17.5 psi. On a side note, why did you decide to get the p&p throttle body?

Rudywrx04 · 02-28-2009, 04:37 AM

Its a 2.0 liter. On the Throttle Body due to some asshattery I broke the orginal so when putting the new one in said might as well. Every little bit helps I guess.

fastwrx25 · 02-28-2009, 07:42 AM

very very nice!!

Bug-Rex · 02-28-2009, 10:40 AM

The torque does hit hard. I was worried about the lag at first from a stage 2, but I really can not tell much difference and no fall of above 5k rpm.

wrxman420 · 02-28-2009, 04:40 PM

Very nice, great job P&L! I will be having Jorge tune my vf48 setup this summer. I cant wait to see what I get (bigger injectors, fmic, ewg also).

06-wrx-tr · 03-01-2009, 03:22 AM

what dyno was it on

Yes, Dynojet. I belive stock WRX are around 175 WHP and Stock STI's are around 250 Whp on this Dyno.

05BoostinSubie · 08-04-2009, 04:58 PM

Are you happy with it? Im gonna go with a vf48 and going to have P&L tune it after talking with them yesterday. P.S. where in Indiana you from?

Rudywrx04 · 08-04-2009, 07:26 PM

The main thing I like about it is the car is fast. It holds power well and I like the fact that Jorge tunes very conservatively for a reliable car. I have never had a problem with one of his tunes and I have been getting tuned by him from the very begining. I live up in South Bend.

05BoostinSubie · 08-04-2009, 09:07 PM

I liked how his main consern from talking with him was the safety and driveability of the car. I think Im gonna have them do a 6sp swap for me too. I was impressed by them from his mentality on the phone. That and he was incredibly helpful and took the time to answer my questions and sisnt seem liek he was trying to blow me off.

Hopefully in the next 2 months Ill be in your shoes with a vf48 and a rockin tune from jorge

tundra · 08-05-2009, 07:46 AM

Nice numbers, congrats to you! I bet the car is a blast to drive around town now.

Jorge is definitely a great tuner, props to him too

05BoostinSubie · 08-05-2009, 09:19 AM

so if I get a free weeekend, would you wanna give me a ride to see what its like?

Rudywrx04 · 08-05-2009, 11:11 AM

Yeah sure. Send me a PM when your going to be in town.

05BoostinSubie · 08-05-2009, 11:27 AM

awesome, I might roll up that way next weekend. Im kinda anxious to see how my cars gonna be with the VF48

No
stock sti's put down 225-235. I really was expecting to see higher numbers for a vf48. I guesse that answers my question. It's not worth it for me to upgrade.

Rudywrx04 · 08-05-2009, 12:11 PM

Here is a thread where Jorge the tuner that tunes on this dyno states that 04-06 STI's stock dyno between 240-260. Its post # 12 . An 08 STI puts between 220-240. Splittin hairs. Keep in mind this is not an aggressive tune, but if your looking for more than 300 WHP this is not going to be your best option.
