Oh we get to change tunes now? This guy is gonna buy a Subi and an accessport, plus have someone do a custom tune so he can get somewhat close to what cheaper subcompacts are doing stock?

Plus, who the **** stays out of boost in a WRX?

Yeah, because buying my accessport and doing the tune myself cost me around $300. Really broke the bank on that one.

I stay out of boost when I drive on the interstate. And when I do, I get 34mpg. Not bad for a car that's AWD, and has over 300 hp.

05 STI.

So you bought a used AP and tuned your own car. Nothing wrong with that.

We are talking about Buck going from a truck to a fuel efficient car.

Very few people can tune cars. Period. I'm a gear head and wont even attempt to touch tuning tables. And Buck smokes an OZ of grass every day~ So, my go-to suggestion is not for him to try a hand at tuning to save a few bucks in gasoline.

I know a thing or two about big HP Subies, and in my 450 bhp WRX I got about 15 mpg.. (on E85 :P)
