With an etune you are the one doing the 3rd gear pulls on the highway, data logging and submitting for revisions. They stick it in 3rd and do a pull from 2k rpm to redline, take readings make tweaks to the tune and do another pull until it’s right. Besides a dyno is just a tool that keeps your tuner off the street doing pulls. And every Subie is and runs a little different, making OTS tunes less than desirable. You wouldn’t think something as simple as an intake would require a tune but the increase in flow can actually wreak havoc with the MAF sensor. So much more affordable and revisions as needed. The local shop here in town was raping me for half ass dyno tunes that had my FKL all over the place. Subispeed had him as an option for a E-60 tune with the purchase of a Cobb flex fuel kit. I wish I would have found Graham at Boosted Performance Tuning sooner. If you want to know the name of the tuner I will tell via PM.just ask.ĭefinitely recommend an etune. My tuner promised the winter map but never delivered it.) If possible get the promises in writing so you can enforce the terms if necessary. Pick your etune provider carefully and make sure they provide you with a map for use in extremely cold weather so you avoid overboost issues (its a problem I am having now. I havent done everything that could be done in bolt ons to my 09 wrx but I have done all I can afford to do and staying on top of the maintenance so it continues to run well with the upgrades is even more important now than it ever was.

But you should do some serious thinking and planning about how to approach it so you dont throw your money away needlessly and that you get a safe and good performing map for whatever hardware upgrades you intend to do. Its not always clear at the outset what path you will have to take to get to the desired place. Pretty tall order sometimes to get from where you are to where you want to be. Everytime you make a change in hardware, that means a new map and more tweaking to get things dialed in so that the car runs like it should and by that I mean that the tune is safe for the engine under the kind of driving you will do with it and that it will perform for you as expected. My advice to you, from someone who has gone down this path is to set some realistic goals for what you want to do with the car and what you can afford to do. You may have already pulled the trigger on an etune and be well on the way to upgraded performance. TLDR, you dont NEED an e tune but it would be nice to tailor something for your car and I feel like its better than a one size fits all solution like the ones Cobb offers. He even setup a custom map for me when I left my home state (People Republic of California) so I could take advantage of the much higher octane fuels available across the country. We landed on a ver conservative tune that handled great on my daily commute from 30ft over sea level to 4500 ft of elevation. I had great luck with Eric from torqued performance on my 2013 WRX, we must have gone through 18 or 19 revisions before we landed on something that satisfied my personal safety concerns. If you choose to go with an e-tune look for a tuner who is willing to go through a number of revisions and someone who is willing to support their work after the initial install.
If your car is stock or near stock and you are urrently running on OTS tune I think an E tune is well worth the $100 if you have an extra C note burning a hole in your pocket anyway.
