Already had a tune or not

Hi All,

I'm new to the whole Subaru thing and must say they are awesome !!
I have bought a 07 Liberty gtb and love it.. I bought the car off a dealer and they told me it was stock.
Upon having a look it has a tcp tbe, avo tmic and hi flow filter. Was wondering how to tell if this car has already had a flash tune done as I thought you had to tune them once you have done exhaust etc..
I have put a boost gauge in to see if the boost has been adjusted and it peaks at 16 psi is this stock and is there any other way to tell if tune is done?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks Ben

I would say its been tuned. I suspect if its silver and you bought it in the last few weeks, I even know which car t is.
Stock boost is under 14psi

How does the auto shift? Smooth shifts?

Hi mate,
Sorry should have been more specific mine is obsidian Black and a 6mt. It holds 16 psi till about 5000 rpm then drops off.. Car is very punchy and drives really nice in s mode but doesn't seem to like s# mode. When I go wot it the engine bogs down before taking off and once almost stalled.. Will it have different boost settings with the different si drive settings.. I will get it tuned again just to be sure.. Where are you located kido ?

Sounds like it may be untuned or may even have EcuTek on it if it holds 16psi from say 2400rpm to 5000rpm

Live in Coffs Harbour. In Brisbane every few weeks though.
