From what I've seen though, people seem to like the package from "OEM+ Audio" http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/brz-...rade-1443.html Its pricey though.. I personally plan to just swap out the 6.5" woofers in the doors and add some sound deadening while I'm in there. I feel like adding a subwoofer is just asking for more rattles. |

It wouldn't say "OEM+" on it, or be a one-click purchase, but lets be honest here it's just a sub and amp with an OEM-designed trunk box. Absolutely nothing special about it |

Yea you can source different parts and do your own research and build your own sub enclosure for less, but that takes more time and some hit/miss effort. I wouldn't say the OEM+ system isnt worth it though. I'm personally just going to swap out the door woofers on my own since I don't need a sub, but if I wanted a sub I'd probably just go the OEM+ route. |

AND how is the ability to tune your car yourself a "waste" when switching to FI? Wont you still need to tune after FI?? As a matter of fact, OFT has some FI tunes, so there is a chance you wouldnt need to pay for a tune after your FI install. If you purchase the OFT, there is support to help youcustomize the tune by sending datalogs (which the OFT can capture). IMO there is zero downside to purchasing an OFT. |

I like the OFT and the whole idea it represents. I would like it even more if I was a tuner of some sort but I wont pretend to be. It's definitely a powerful and useful tool, but for a stock car I don't see it making a SIGNIFICANT difference. Again, I don't have the OFT, so I'm just judging based on posts and reviews I've read. Also for FI, all of the kits I've been looking at so far still use Ecutek for their tunes. Maybe this is changing or has changed recently? I've been focusing on the Full Blown kit, and now I'm following the FT86SpeedFactory kit in development. For a guy who just got his BRZ and has $700 to spend, I think using it for things other than just the OFT would be more satisfying. |

the sub amp is 120W @ 2ohms and 14L of air in the box driving an 8 inch DVC sub. I'm sorry but that is pathetic. That's a $50 amp at best. The door amp is decent. The factory harnesses are cool, but worth less than $50. P.S. Look at Integrity Concepts' fiberglass box. Blows this one out of the water and at a pricetag that makes the OEM+ one laughable. There's not many packages I flame on but the OEM+ people are really gouging the hell out of us just because Scion endorses/warranties it.

Myself and hundreds, if not thousand+ others will testify, even a stage 1 91 octane off the shelf OFT map blows the DOORS off the stock tune, all around- throttle response, power, smoothness/operation across the entire powerband... I believe that's what @stugray is trying to underline here. It's much more than just a raw power increase mod. plus data logging and ability to upgrade tunes + E85 potential... picking one up for $400-500 is a no brainer best bang for your buck in the performance department. |

I just worry that a lot of people get the placebo + butt dyno effect lol. But again, I do agree that the OFT has a lot of potential, its useful if you're a tuner, its useful if you want to go E85, and its useful if you plan on doing a lot of bolt on mods for your NA car. This guy has $700 to spend right now though. I still dont know if putting 500+ into a single thing will be more satisfying. |

People downplay being able to 'feel' mods and often times adversely attribute the term "butt dyno" to discredit others' findings. The proof is in the pudding, I suggest you take a friend's OFT tuned car for a drive or find someone at a meet who has it done, with similar mods to yours. Let us know your experience Don't forget OFT is perfectly capable of boosted tuning, with OTS maps available for variety of kits right now, more on the way, including custom tuning of FI maps via romraider. $500 for data logging + E85 potential + scalable maps + ability to alter cold start/flat foot shifting/launch control/rev limit altering.... you'd think I was a fanboy for OFT but I'm just a very, very satisfied customer who has a long track record with opensource applications and subaru engines. The OFT is so far my most enjoyable experience yet in that arena. Ecutek is a close rival and depending on his end goals, another significant rival. But so far OP seems to be in line with what OFT does. Opensource is the shit and is expanding all the time, regardless of what OP does he's come to the right forum to get advice |

I felt the difference immediately (torque dip is not there any more), AND my passenger noticed right away. It was definitely NOT the placebo effect. |
