Went to the tuner today… after the car being out of commission so long, I really had to deal with more than expected.

After a bit of a struggle, we were finally able to get the Cobb maps onto the ECU, they fought with the ECUTEK encryption, but all turned out good there.

Moved the car to the dyno… complete tune failure. Walbro 255 fuel pump was shot… just terrible, we popped a stock one back in as they were out of the Walbro’s. FYI, STI stock fuel pump will hold up to 350 whp. Started to tune again,… failure… Knock sensor was bad, spent many hours trying to tune around it, but the advance timing mechanism kept kicking in and just killing us.

Ended up tuning the car to the point it would run at stock power and low low boost. Need to order a new fuel pump, new knock sensor install and return to them for another tune at which point we can turn the boost up and gets some real numbers back out of the car.
