Another Bren tuning review!

[Robk0000]

I cant tell you how awesome he is, Bren did an Awesome job, he know his ****. PERIOD!


I requested a reliable but powerful tune and its defiantely what i got. The stock tune was garbage compared to now. Throttle response is smooth and my boost levels/afr's never spike or flutter.

It took a few pulls with my car to get it exact, and when i say exact, he is a bit ocd. So the numbers are perfect.

Since he did both Tom (etaks99rs) and my vehicle today, i think we can both vouch that he did an excellent job. He knows his **** and i would highly recommend him to anyone.


Hopefully he can get a numbers graph up soon, because i am dying to see them. I he said somewheres around 295 hp. :D



Another A+ for Bren.

Bren killed it today with both mine and RobK0000's car! He takes this stuff serious and it shows in his work! My car is a powerhouse now. I already called up 2 of my friends and told them to make appointments asap. Thanks again Bren!

I backed your boost back down after we got the higher numbers for reliability of your intercooler. 19 then vs. about 17.8 now.

Thanks again guys I had a blast!

Can we get a mod list?

[BG @ BrenTuning]

Can we get a mod list?

IIRC:

2005 STi

Full Cobb TBE
Perrin afta maf and inlet pipe/drop in filter
Perrin fuel rails and lines
TGV deletes
forge unos mbc

2009 WRX

Cobb DP catted, custom mid section, spt rear section
Drop in filter/Grimmspeed Boost solenoid

[Robk0000]

Tom was running the cobb, i have an ERZ catted dp from subimods. it sounds great with the spt.

[etaks99rs]

I also have 1 step colders!

[etaks99rs]

Bren, can we see the 2 graphs on top of each other? or can someone photoshop it...

[Robk0000]

your car is a little faster. Not much as we saw at the tolls. like 1/2 car length at 1/4 mile. lol

[etaks99rs]

yeah that was a blast! I think from a stand still I have you but a 60 to 100 pull you get ahead of me

[Robk0000]

The best i could do.

so good! Nice work Rob!

[BG @ BrenTuning]

more boost and timing on the sti as you can see in the low end. Plus you had some better breathing mods

[etaks99rs]

maybe those TGV deletes actually did something?

[BG @ BrenTuning]

Perhaps ;)

[Demetry]

Bren, what are TGV deletes worth on a typical OS "stage 2" STI?

I'd typically say nothing you will notice. GS disagrees but I haven't seen much third party testing I agreed with. The transition from vacuum to full boost is a bit smoother - but that could be in my head. I typically tell people "take them off when your turbo inlet size hits the tgv connector." :lol:
