We sure do! My speed 3 is my first turbo car and I freaking love it, power band drop after 5500 is a little annoying but nothing a tune cant fix.

Tune won't help much, heh. It'll help a little to keep the ECU from closing the throttle plate on it's own even though your foot is still on the floor, but the stock turbo is the primary limiting factor in the dropoff. It just can't flow that much air up top.

And yea dsm_luck, I was still on stock turbo in my MS3 and my friend's STi still has the stock turbo.

Not bad, I'm personally not a huge wing fan so I wouldn't be able to say if they were phenomenal or not, they do have a spicy cajun dry rub that's pretty awesome, I'm just there often cause my buddy owns the place and my girl works there

Agreed. A tune adds a little performance but mainly safety if done right. Now doing an E85 tune even on the stock turbo is a whole different ballgame. Denver has quite a few stations that carry E85.

Any update on this? No one is posting on MSF either.. I'm coming from Pueblo so I think it would be cool to meet with some springs people before heading to Denver

Yeah I haven't heard anything new about it. I'll do some prodding and make sure its still going on, I would imagine it is and that it's just gone quiet over the holidays.

@Speed3 I would for sure be up for meeting in the springs before shooting to Denver. We'll have to set that up once we get closer to it.
