Webby Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi my STI is coming to the end of its warranty so was phoning around some tuners to see if i could get some extra power and torque only looking for around 340 bhp some seem happy to help but others have said leave alone as the engine isn't up to it unless I change the internals I'm a bit confused advice would be appreciated Cheers Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 is plenty Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I spoke to Scoobyclinic last week, it's about £3229 for the full exhaust, remap and induction (Package 2) ...........maybe 340HP............. it takes one day to do and is a really good performance increase, esp below 4k rpm. but above 400HP as his website sais, you have to be careful and he recommended a fully forged ``Closed Deck`` engine, basically; you can take stuff from Package 3 above as well, just as long as you keep its HP below 400HP....................... but the good news is there's no need to improve brakes and suspension. i spoke to him for ages, he's very easy to talk to.

I was pretty shocked when i saw the prices myself when compared to other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Buy the parts yourself then go get a map £300 for intake £1000 ish for a full turbo back £600 ish for an ecutek map it's a no brainer , how they can justify that is just mental , they're not even offering a ecutek map that's just an open source so you dont even need to buy the license I would steer clear Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 a turbo back for £600?, i couldn't find any reputable cat back ones for that sort of money let alone turbo back. where you looking? not an eBay special is it? Map software you choose it up to you, but i wouldn't use open source. You get no tech back up at all if there's an issue, my old hawk kept firing up a phantom fault code, had to go back to ecutek to change some code to sort it that's now included in the standard software, with open source you;d be stuffed.

Sirspidey Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Think you miss read tidgy, kershaw says £1000 for turbo back. £600 for ecutek map. Punctuation would've helped lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 🤦🏻♂️, I don't think you even need a turbo back for that level of power lol Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kershaw-330s Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Well I'm running 390 hp with the standard cat back just down pipe , stock air box with a cosworth filter , plus stock intercooler at time of tune , don't let clinic con you into buying things you don't need Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggysniffer Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I will just step in here to put a leveller in this thread, Tidgy is very pro clinic, he has had a lot of good work done there and knows the guys well, kershaw 330 is pretty much anti clinic and likes to jump on them whenever he can, as far as I know has had no dealings with clinic himself (I wait to be put right if he has) I'm not saying who's right or wrong, just informing you of the two sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the prices I mentioned were more general where ever you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
