fuggers Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well clearly you missed this post a few months ago. 05's are the best obviously In all seriousness I don't think the dealership is going to do anything differently. Unless there is some recall by Subaru regarding the tune or the ECU there isn't much they are going to do. You're best off getting it tuned for stage 1.

Verwilderd Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just get tuned. IIRC there are a few differences between these years in the way the car if types from the factory. Also there is a different turbo in the 09's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Your new car is heavier, has a different turbo, and a different final drive ratio from reading this thread. Those combine to give you a car that isn't the same as your old one, so you can't expect it to be like your old one. Follow the advice and get a stage 1 tune, you'll quickly forget about your old one, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeFlyIsTheEye Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Also, if the car isn't broken in (think around 40k miles) and your old one was, there's a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moncur_6 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I haven't driven the newest LGT's, but from what I've heard from some other owners and friends who have driven them, the newest cars have pretty linear powerbands stock so they don't feel quite as agressive... I have heard good things about tuning the newer Leggy's though! Definitely go get a stage 1 map, that will unlock tons of power from what I understand and have heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaswepass Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 fwiw, one other factor is wheel size. I can't remember where I found it, but there was a chart showing changing from 15" to 19" progressively decreased 0-60 times but increased skidpad holding.

jranmann Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Try turning off traction control, I believe the 05s do not have it.Neither did the 06... have traction control IIRC. Oops one more thing I forgot to mention. Some times driving the car will lug so bad it actually shakes the car a bit if I keep the gas right there. Yes if I step on it a bit more it will downshift and not lug, but I never noticed this once in the 05. Does anyone else notice how the newer things are (like cars) the less exciting they become?...So why isn't sex with a female like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Was boost limited in 1st and 2nd on the 05s like it was on the 08-09? IIRC, the stock tune limited boost to less than 10 lbs in 1st and 2nd on the 08s, but peak in 3-5 was like 13. Regardless, like everyone else has said, just reflash with stage 1 and enjoy. Be careful not to get hooked on power like I did though. I liked stage 1, but it only lasted a few weeks before I swapped downpipes and went stage 2 It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moncur_6 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 +1...power is addicting. I keep on saying I'm done adding things to my car for the season but...well I just bought a new axle back today... What do ya do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitty36 Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 just flashed stage 1. I haven't drove it enough yet though....gotta wake the wife up and go for a ride. I do have a cobb dp here but waiting on the heat shield then I will be flashing stage 2. Hopefully tomorrow night! thanks everyone. I also can watch my boost, accelerator peddle position, and throttle position and many more to see if I notice anything funny going on. thanks everyone!

mitty36 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 this sucks..............got stage 2. I can feel it pull harder but I used the accessport to do my 0-60 feature it has built in. results=7.48 and that's with launching it. Pathetic.
