gear_monkey Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've got an 05 pure stock GT with 5EAT. I'm picking up a used WRX STI up and a invidia dp. The shop is AWD Tune here in the DFW area. I know a tune is mandatory but should I let the shop do the tune($350) or do something like an Infamous tune from this site? Thanks guys, I'm excited to take this first step. Any tips are greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneDoubleN Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Let the shop tune it, especially if it's only $350. Are they dyno tuning for that amount of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckseleven Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Have the shop tune it for instant gratification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingling1337 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Go to the shop, I think e-tuning is more an option for people who dont have a (good) tuner in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gear_monkey Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks everyone. Bought the up and down pipes today. They'll have to sit in the trunk until I can have them put on and tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripemeat Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 it may be a "deal" but as far as tuning goes, you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gear_monkey Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 I've yet to hear anything bad about this shop and he appears to be the most knowledgeable Subaru guy in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemicalWaste Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Good luck with it then. It does sound tough to pass up. Quiz him a bit about what he wants to do and check here too with some of the guys that are far more knowledgeable about these cars than myself. Subarus are Subarus, but the GT and the WRX or STI are a little different in some respects. If you have it done post up a review and numbers and brag about it a bit!

TrueWhiteBoy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 FYI - If those are your only mods, I don't believe there to be any major danger to driving without a tune, but if someone wants to correct me/or confirm they're welcome to. However the opposite (stage 2 tune with a catted DP) would. For $350 with a dyno tune I'd definitely take it in if they have a decent reputation.
