Bought my built STI from local shop, Kinetic motor sports. Been driving it for a few years with no problems. They down tunned it to around 400hp, but was 450 wheel. Lot's of fun for a grocery getter.
TPG is in export near Pittsburgh. Had my STI tuned there. Nate was great and supported my tune remotely for years afterwards. I would just email him whatever parts I put on…Id 1050s, FPR, etc, and he would send me a new map and go back and forth with logs to get it nailed down. Great company.
I have the blouch 5056XT upgrade with ETS everything else on my VB, dam i wish i got the G30-770 kit. would only be like 2k more than what i have in it. either way, i am planning STI trans, head studs and fuel pump upgrade. hoping to be in the 500 Hp club on e40-50 someday
Sti trans going into my car. I had the 30-770 kit but I’m going fully custom route right now. I was at around 550hp right and now going to change up my setup. I’ve actually posted my turbo kit for sale lol. I have a custom fuel system and built motor getting worked on right now 😎
@@yoltsbp you would want to do all 3 lpfp, hpfp, and injectors if you want to maximize DI. But between hpfp and injectors, If you can only choose one, then yes, the injectors would make more sense. They are coming out soon!
TPG tuned my sti, they still have it they were the first to hit 10’s in the 1/4 mile. They are out of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. They are aiming to be the first to run 9 seconds
My '24 premium is at 5k miles. Had a Noble Titanium single exit catback since the first week. (Its 2 months old) Just put a Perrin intake on and got a Dmann 93 ots tune. Love it! Possibly putting on UEL headers tomorrow with an updated e-tune. But! The biggest power mod was my Noble Duckbill V2 wing! Not as power adding as the featured car. But i felt at least 10 horses on my butt dyno

HeavyMetalWRX, i just spent a bunch of time trying to find videos and pictures of other modified VB WRXs for inspiration as I embark upon my modding journey. There really isnt a great deal out there, you'd definitely fill a vacuum showcasing subscribers' cars, qnd would help folk trying to make their own awesome version. I'd also like to see info on aerodynamics options that actually work and visual modifications that capture more of the personalized aethetic potential. Cars have long been a symbol for American individualism, and are one of the few ways extremely communal societies have to rebel. The WRX captures this concept for me.

I think Mikey moved into the A90/BMW platforms more now. He has some records on the A90. Love your videos and will continue to watch even though I moved to an A90. I think JR was doing something with the VB as well but I'm not 100% sure.
Hey! TPG tuning is located in export Pennsylvania, kinda near Pittsburgh. They are really friendly guys, I’m sure if you reached out to them they would be able to have you out!
All of these are awesome cars! Would be so much fun to have a car like those. I agree, drag is cool, but ripping turns is more my style. I am gonna visit Calvo motorsports in Denver soon cause I wanna check out their 3000hp Viper. I also wanna ask them if they do work on any wrx models. Maybe they will take mine on as a project wrx lol. One can dream right?

@SenorRobb not too much, Cobb TMIC, charge pipe, and Titanium Exhuast, ETS intake, fuel it kit, I pipe,,.. the rest is visual stuff.. the pro tune on E30-40 from Dmann is what does it..
@@HeavyMetalWRX haha fair. I stay away from the VB Facebook page for the most. So only the OGs and a few shops know me😅😅😅 I had one of the first turbo kits at initial launch and got it at the same with with Joey. I did a 22psi tune at 430hp and bumped it up to 30psi and it’s at 530-550 right now. Im actually selling the turbo kit for a full custom rotated/port injection kit. I’m building my motor right now to hold 1000 but I’m being realistic and think I’ll prob hit like 750-800 to the wheels lmao
The modding has begun on my TR...with a red carbon fiber shift knob. It instantly gained 50 hp, RACECAR!!!
Oh man, modded TR is the way!
Man, I bet that set you back. I've got 50hp in stickers but I did get them from wish so...

I'll second that for Nate at TPG. He's a fantastic tuner.
Nate is a beast at TPG, he's been tuning my FA20 since like 2017 - I've been on their dyno 4 different times and my car is still going strong.
Yep did mine 2x they even let me use their shop car to take home to WV hours away..
Glad to hear you're going to boxerfest! It will be nice to finally meet you in person!

From my understanding the stock pump is enough the injectors are the problem.

It would be crazy to have that much power. Tbh I'd be happy with 450.

Hope to see u in FL this year again definitely had a blast talking to u in the IIR booth last year.
Hopefully, a year or so from now, there will be some better aftermarket support for making that amount of power for VBs.
We have great bolt ons already. It's the extreme side that I hope more people join up on.
Dman tuning with my close to 400whp car on bolt ons and e85 sd tune still going strong
thats fast im at 10.7 at stock turbo stock block
cant imagine running into a faster wrx

Check out aero flow dynamics WRX. Shop car, but making 500+ horse power. They have a new turbo and full bolt ons. Pretty sure stock trans.

Felix uses a Accessport.. it doesn't get much use since he got the R8 and put twins on it. They tuned my 23 wrx on E40 and it made 417whp..
Whew that's some good power.
It made 400/401 then I got the I pipe from RAE and it made 417/413.. the car runs good, if I plan to keep it I'll do the sti trans..

Felix VB is still kicking…. I live in MD and was at Felix Performance about 3 weeks ago.
Daaaamn that's awesome. I'm gonna see them at Subiefest. Gonna see if they'll let me drive it 👀
I'm pretty sure the Rick Wilson vb wrx had a built shortblock. I think it said that on Facebook. That's probably why it had a new oem shortblock.
Hmmm I don't remember but it's totally possible. Still I can't believe that car sold with all those parts.
