It is always easy to get the tune more aggressive and get more Hp.

Also. Tuning WRX/STI makes them more reliable the tune from the factory is so bad it runs pig rich then at 4k Roms takes a dip and runs dangerously lean head over to nasioc.com and see for yourself its a well discussed problem. So lets not treat engineers like they are einstiens
AP's are treated as install-free boost controllers for the most part. The COBB cult and everyone excited about the ECU is based on the turbo gains. Those thinking that it's the AccessPort getting the crazy gains and not the turbo will be disappointed with the results on this car.
