Had a spirited run with a (unknown modded Subaru Wrx Sti). DCT off, got out of the hole w/o too much issue, we were neck and neck as he shifted through 4 gear... dead even. He felt fast..... we both laid off throttle after reaching 100. (No traffic, no passengers)

Has anyone else had run-ins with a Wrx Sti, and with my n55 only having a JB+, catless vishnu dp, a drop in afe filter and an axle-back... was this an accurate run? Generically speaking... I don't know what he had sooooo..... just curious. Love to hear others... thanks.

Yeah sounds about right, I owned a evo IX MR and ran into STIs all the time.

A BPU STI makes around 370AWHP, so I would safely say he was on stock turbo, maybe a FP green.

With your mods making around 360+RWHP?

I don't think the jb+ and dp will get him at 360rwhp. More like 320 to 330. And there is no jb4 for the n55.

Still a good run though.

getting rid of the JB+ - already talked with Mike @ BMS. I am trying the new JB N55 Stage1 with the new Map. We'll see...

how much whp does a jb3 give?

The jb3 for n55 isn't nearly as strong as the one for my car (n54). I think it only boosts up to like 12 psi or something.

Wait til Terry irons out the n55 platform and they'll make some pretty good power.

I heard with the new DME update you'll be able to run more boost with the n55 JB+

Actually you have that backwards...

I ripped out that JB+ and replaced with the new JB3 N55 Stage 1 - and on default settings +3.5psi I break traction in 3rd. According to BMS Dyno (with my vishnu catless dp) I should be putting down 398Tq, but I also have the Remus Race axleback and an aFe drop in. If that dyno was correct from BMS, I may be just a hair over 400 tq. Rwhp could be around 350... the upcoming dyno should put this to rest. BMS Dyno: http://www.burgertuning.com/images/ardp_comparison.jpg Until then, I just updated the Stage 1 +5psi and I'll have some fun tomorrow... but for those who may be on the fence for a JB+ for the n55, don't bother. The new n55 Stage 1 is fantastic, and install is a breeze (as compared to the n54 JB3)

My biggest issue is launch control and overall "sticking" with the Michellin Pilots runflats.... (which is a good and bad problem)

I wish I had this setup with the Sti...............

^^ +1 ^^ he has it backwards... The new DME update(s) will yield a positive effect on the Stage 1, but caused issues with the JB+ -hence it will not make it out of BETA testing until they address the issues.

Just skip the JB+ and go with the Stage 1. It's a much better tune and is upgradable with the USB connection and software. It's a win-win and costs less than the PROcede. BOTH are good, I chose to go with the BMS/JB3 for no particular reason other than affordability.
