What is more exciting than the US President...
...being in the same complex I work at?
2008 FSXT MT AP Firmware is out! YEAH! Sorry AT guys, no firmware for you. Stage 1, here I come!
...just have to order up my AP next week.
I am going to do a power increase analysis on the dyno for stock and stage 1...then I will install my exhaust and dyno stage 2....then I will install all my bits w/ 18G and dyno that...but that will come later.
I am sure everything is pretty rough since Christian just released it but I will make sure I log the A/F and of course there will be updated maps.
HAPPY DAYS FOR ME>>>NO MORE STOCK POWER!

Thanks, guys!
Can't wait to plug and play!
From what I have seen from other '08 stock power dyno graphs, the factory numbers are a little off...from calculating, the stock numbers are closer to 230hp/250 torque vs. the stated numbers of 224/226 on the subaru website.chicken n waffles wrote:congrats. keep us in the loop. i'm very interested to see what numbers the fsxt puts down.

Jackie should be receiving the AP today so that means I should be receiving it tomorrow!

Jackie is having it shipped from, IIRC, JSCspeed in PA (who had it in stock). There is a tracking number that shows it arriving at Annapolis Subaru this afternoon. And I have done A LOT of business w/ Jackie so when she says next day, it will come next day.zaxrex wrote:Weeeellll, Just ask Gabe about shipping/transit through third parties...
If I would have bought it straight from COBB it might have been a month before I see it.

Congrats Will, I can't wait to see what your numbers are like!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Thanks. Right now I am only going to run stage 1 OTS map. A couple people are already running stage 2 and are hitting boost cut. Christian from Cobb is working on a calibration update for stage 2 so I will wait until that is released to run stage 2. Then a little bit further down the road I will protune my 18G. Getting excited for tomorrow for stage 1 (anything is better than stock ).Sabre wrote:Congrats Will, I can't wait to see what your numbers are like!
Here is a dyno comparison of a FLI protuned stage 2 2007 XT vs. COBB OTS stage 2 2007 XT:
There is a crazy dip on the OTS tune. Mods are catless COBB TBE and K&N panel filter on CA 91Oct.
Here is a stock 2007 XT dyno run:

Re: What is more exciting than the US President...
Well, there was a slight delay in the arrival of my AP but all is good...after good ol' suby bux, it came in under $200 for the new AP It arrived Friday but didn't get it installed until I got back to VA last night.
I will have to say that the AP V.2 is MUCH nicer than my old AP V.1 plus I don't have to bend over backwards to get to the stupid green plugs to flash the ECU...and it is much, much faster...USB...yada, yada, yada.
Initial impressions are good! Good pedal feel and good solid accel throughout. I haven't gotten heavy stop-n-go traffic experience but should get that today on the way home.
STOCK POWER...BYE, BYE!
I did find a nice unwelcome nail sticking out of my driverside rear Blizzaks ...but I think I might have lucked out and it only stuck in my chunky tread on top. I will still keep an eye on it, though.
