I’ve only heard about PBMS and Torque in Auckland when considering a tune for Subaru’s, ST Hitec is also a well known tuner for Japanese cars in general. I would stay away from cheaper / unknown tuners. Unless they specialise in Subaru or know how to tune them well.

Thanks for the inisight! How about Subtech? they have quoted me $969, they take a copy from my ECU and send it to the UK

New turbo downpipe and re-tune.

 

A new air intake isn’t a performance mod until you’re pushing higher power with a bigger turbo but you can replace the stock panel filter with reusable higher flow one which will be your best bang for buck.

 

 Catback exhaust is mainly just for sound and not really a restriction near factory power level, so if you’re on a budget you can leave this out - the new downpipe will make your car louder anyway

 

Power wise, that’s all you really need.

 

For better handling you can’t go wrong with a larger sway bar kit, don’t bother with a front strut bar but get a rear if you have the money for one - makes a little bit of a difference.

 

 

just to confuse the situation even more, a tune will cost you around $1000 and is a must for reliability and hp gain from mods which improve air flow through the car so if you’re going to get a tune with a downpipe (the biggest hp gain mod on these cars) then you have to consider if there are any other mods you may want to do which would also require tuning (new air intake for example) so you don’t have to keep retuning and burning money.

Awesome comprehensive response - thank you.

 

Could I grab your recommendation for a tuner in Auckland?

 

Based off my research on ClubSub, I am hearing that Torque Performance is the most reliable/professional but highest spend, Possum is relatively expensive and reliable and autoupgrades is the cheapest but a few members have seen issues with the tune down the line.

 

Cheers

Hey guys,

 

Really value your input regarding best bang for buck S-GT modifications for more power without compromising significantly on reliability?

 

Cheers
