Tune Review and Tweaks/Revisions - Delicious Tuning initial tune offers no review and/or tweaks/revisions whether it is a part of a complete package or just the tune itself. In the majority of scenarios it is not needed as we have developed these tunes over numerous vehicles and that is why it is not offered. If you would like to purchase a review, refine and repeat datalog process, you can add that from the drop down at an additional charge. We will then include a review of the tune, based on the logs provided to us (as described by the instructions provided to you after your purchase), and we will provide up to 3-5 tweaks/adjustments/revisions to the tune within 45 days of purchase. Alternatively if we find the tune is not working well at all, there is more than likely an underlying mechanical/electrical issue, that we will help diagnose during that period. If your vehicle falls outside of this type of tune/map or prefer to highly customize your tune please select Custom Remote E-Tune or email (contact form) for details.
Delicious Tuning - Stage 1 Tune for your Subaru STI adds increased torque across the board and nearly eliminates the awful hesitations felt in the stock tune by many and seen in many baseline dyno charts. In order to use the full potential of the tune we highly recommend installing a cat back exhaust system (catted or not) and a Stock or Cobb Intake in order to take full advantage of the improved performance.
Our Stage 1 map smooths out the entire band, offers a linear power curve and improves the low-end torque and response while maintaining a very powerful, consistent and reliable tune. We have found aftermarket intakes are not necessary for getting the performance you desire out of the vehicle, although we can cater to any intake system. Here are Delicious Tuning's figures for the Stage 1 reflash.
