Wotcha and welcome Mark - I have not heard of the QM brand Is this your site? http://rtsperformance.co.uk/index.php

They do look substantial

Wotcha and welcome - what car do you have currently, any mods planned?

Tidy

exhaust and filter mods will benefit from a remap so I would fit the stuff you have listed and get it arranged. Standard airboxes are not too bad - a high flow panel filter works pretty well. in the short term why not go back to the standard airbox? Unless you are changing the turbo stick with the TMIC - a session on the dyno may show the benefit of a thicker TMIC with the standard turbo and your current changes - dont know if there is a different between WRX and STI TMIC? Oh also Wotcha and welcome

Again a lot of motor for the money - hope it gets snapped up

lovely motor - a lot for the money, hope it finds a great new home

K&N Panel filter arrived - took a couple of weeks as had to wait for shipment from US - apparently none in the UK at all

sorry you had to sell but at that price it wasn't going to hang about

well you know what they say - if there are no photos it hasn't happened

nice one

Looking good

As Matt says - dynos are a reading of what the car is doing at that time in relation to the ambient temperature etc - so many factors affect the readings and the same car can differ day to day - but what you will achieve irrespective of the final power figure is a car matched to the physical changes you have made.

That is true but we didn't buy it with fuel economy as a priority, function first and foremost

Good point - it is a mod from standard after all so should be shared with insurance company

^^^ oh dear ^^^

completed the ESL mapping course - great day - stacks of info but filled a big gap in my knowledge of engines and engine tuning - now browsing the classifieds.... mmm mutter dribble ,drool, launch control.... anti lag.... flat foot shifting.... pop pop bang.... wibble

before hitting the dyno - factor in cost of a good service, oil, filters, plugs (with gap set) etc also check when the last time the fuel pump was changed - if it is the original consider a replacement, what state the coil packs are in. Point of note you can have a great engine ruined by a bad map so I would approach 'cheap and cheerful' with caution

As above great cars but still 28 mpg around town 32-34 on a run unfortunately

changed the front diff oil, changed and flushed the AT oil, washed the salt off - still staggers me just how much crud gets wedged under those lips on rear arches - its no wonder they rust

Currently using angelwax foam

ahhh yes probably

a bargain - some was after a BOV recently??

looking good
