Hi all. My 2007 sti pulls well to 5k rpm then it pulls even harder (like having vtec). Is this due to mapping or is it the avcs. I was under the impression that avcs worked through the whole rev band.
Thanks in advance

What turbo does it have?

Jon T

Turbo dynamics hybrid mdx pcm 450 it pulls well from about 2.5k but at 5k it pulls like f**k. Can hear it spool from 2.5k rpm.

probably when it hits peak/full boost. might be worth having your mapper check its not overboosting. do you have a boost gauge? what boost are you seeing at 5k?

Jon T

No dont have a boost gauge. Have just installed torque pro but having trouble getting the boost to read. Will have a play with it and see what happens.
dont rate the company that mapped it at all but it was done before i had the car. It was done after a forged rebuild 5k miles ago

well it can damage the turbo for a start, it could also lead to lean running and detonation which is bad. fit a boost gauge and see where your at regarding peak boost. was there no info regarding who mapped it and what boost and power figures were gained?

Jon T

I know who mapped it and what bhp it was but the garage i got the car from lost rhe dyno report. Been trying to get hold of a copy but been given the run around by the place who mapped it Im going to get it remapped by steve simon in the next week or 2 is he any good

never heard of him bud, just beware he,s not a generic mapper who flashes ecu,s with tweaked maps. you want a subaru specific mapper who knows the cars. dont know who maps down your neck of the woods im sure enginemapper (graham) used to wotk out of group b motorsport in deeside iirc. ask about on here someone will know a decent mapper down your way.

Sorry im an idiot been up since 4 am steve simon is the roofer nextdoor but one.
i ment steve simpson (simtek)

Got torque pro to work it is showing
-.8 at its lowest and 1.5 bar at max
It rises steadily through the rev range.
Trying to get it booked in for a remap on tuesday. Because i dont like where it was mapped in the first place the prive of a remap is a small price to pay for piece of mind

I have used Steve Simpson for my GEMS ECU on my bugeye. Some people knock him but I have had no complaints.
