2002 WRX 4EAT. Been running an OTS Cobb stage 2 tune for almost 2 years now. Well today I got my protune and Im less than thrilled. Before I go further all the mods and details I mention were all done by the tuner recommendations and was tuned on a Dynojet dyno. So all in all my WHP came out to 205. It feels more sluggish and Im still getting feedback knock corrections as high(or low really) of -6.xx. Also my AF learning is still reaching past +8%. Please keep in mind that this is by far the most reputable and well known shop around me for a hundred miles. Today they installed a Deatschwerks DW200 fuel pump and Grimmspeed 3 port EBCS before the tune. Stock turbo, injectors and intercooler. Heres a list of mods related to my tune:
-STi up pipe
-Full 3" turbo back with catted DP
-Cobb SF intake and airbox
-Cobb post maf hose
-Silicone intercooler y pipe and TB coupler
-DW200 fuel pump
-GS 3 port EBCS
-NGK +1 step colder iridium spark plugs
So my car spend a couple hours on the dyno and then I had over an hour of just highway driving home. But the biggest isssues I noticed was that it felt way more sluggish below 3k rpm, my AF learning 1 is still out of spec, I didnt see any knock events for the first 45 ,in but a big one showed up of -6.xx and my fine knock pearning was still going off with lower values. I know my 4eat eats up power, but doesnt 205hp and about 197 lbs of tq seem low? It also only hits 17 lbs of boost but I figured that was fine because I wanted to keep a decent safety margin. But I was really expecting more hp and toqrue from this. Oh and I noticed my tripometer didnt reset so would that not reset if the ecu was reset from the Accessport? Or should I reset my ecu and let it learn again? Will that do any good? It sucks because I spent almost a year and a LOT of money repairing things, having lots of tests done, paying for and adding parts I wasnt expecting to have to buy and risking exploding my car on a dyno for a protune and I feel like it fell a bit short. Anyone with a 4eat and a protune wanna chime in? Thanks in advance for the input.
