5 psi I believe. Everything is stage 1. It's just 93 tuning for exhaust.

Thx. I was thinking they changed to a little bit bigger actuator but maybe not.

Great build! Where and how much or the fog light kit?

Check with @Sekal. He helped me order them. I'm not going to say price because I'm pretty sure the price has dropped since I ordered them. If it isn't already it will soon be an option you can simply order through your dealer.

PTuning did no hardware modifications to my car. They simply tuned the ECU. I'm still running the full stage 1 kit with these numbers. I agree it's pretty damn awesome. But it's also not surprising given the numbers the base 91 octane map can give. Tuning for 93 should give results like this.

Update: Autocross was amazing today. It started off pretty dicey as I underestimated how much the boost was going to kick me in the ass when it came in. Once I figured out how to control the car better though I was at least back to being about as competitive as I was without the kit.

It's hard to say if I'm getting better times than I would have without the additional power, but I can definitely say that the power is usable. Very usable power. And the car just sounds amazing, I can't speak to the boxer rumble well enough. I'll get my hands on a GoPro for my next autocross and try to give you guys a glimpse of what I'm talking about. With a high-flow cat and no muffler the angry Subaru sound is truly impressive.

I didn't mean Ptuning changed anything. I thought AVO originally supplied the kit with a 5psi actuator but then changed to a 7. Ill have to look again. Doesn't matter though.

Toan @ptuning strikes again! Those numbers are amazing on their dyno with your setup. 250whp on their dyno is 280whp+ on others. I am quite impressed. Given your numbers, I might dial back my target boost a bit. I was going for 8psi but around 250whp on their dyno would be plenty for my needs, but then again i'm still running the stock exhaust. Upgrading would definitely help with excessive EGTs and perhaps quicker spool.

I think you might be giving their dyno a bit too much credit for heartbreak. They told me I'm probably around 260ish on a dyno jet now. Still pretty safe for stock clutch and not needing fuel system upgrades. As for going beyond this point you're probably right.

I'm not giving their dyno any credit that it doesn't deserve. I had one of my boosted cars dyno tuned by Toan and it put down ~255whp. I drove it back to Alabama and got on the local dynojet where it put down ~287whp which is roughly an 12.5% difference. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you're satisfied, which i've always been once I leave Ptuning, which is the reason I go back.

I'm still not sure how much power the stock clutch can hold. It may hold up for a while but it's something I would be saving for to upgrade anyway. I think @ptuning highly recommends the Exedy Stage 1, which is about as close to a stock feel as they come. I had one installed in my tC when I had it.

As far as fueling upgrades, while they're not necessary up to a certain power level, I tend to always upgrade mine anyway, just to add another safety barrier.

Well now I'm excited to hop on a dyno jet soon and see what it gives me.

Put together a video showcasing the sounds of the car in various situations. The sound quality isn't the best, almost completely defeating the purpose, but I think it's still worked out okay. I'll try and get some videos of external noise in the future too. Autocross videos should be coming soon.

Be careful on Fox Mil Rd where you did your 1-2 pull, cops post up on the end of it right before Fairfax Co Pkwy. Thanks for the vid please keep them coming.
