LOL. Yeah, I wish. I used two separate tuners!!! Not gonna say who, but one was local and the other from a souther state. Ironically the one tuner from the south had that STi last 40k more miles(same software and similar psi)!! Still, running anything from 19-20psi or more is a risk as CTSVBiggie says.

Maybe I just need to find a car that can handle my abuse!!

EVO 9. good tune on a stock turbo is capable of 400hp. And as long as you arent a gorilla on the trans. Itll hold VERY well.

I agree. My '06 MR was 363hp/330tq without much work at all, still stock turbo. My tuner said I was an intercooler and upgraded IC piping away from 400hp...if not a tubular exhaust manifold would have gotten it there for sure lol. The 5 speed trans are stronger than my 6 speed was that's why everyone builds them instead.

yeah no doubt the Evo will hold more power on a stock set up. Both of my STi's only put down a mere 300/300 give or take 10/30 with full bolt ons.

Wow not much love for the ms6... Lol, the lgt is 3grand cheaper too... Unless I go spec b than its a 6 speed and 3 grand more than the ms6. Lgt looking better and better... I'm sure I could put the 3 grand between the ms6 and lgt to good use...

The auto is stronger than the 5speed as well. Trans cooler and a valve body upgrade...
