Hi guys upgraded my subaru liberty gt spec b my07, auto. but feel as though i should have got more kW out of it. Mods include top mount , sti vf34 r/brg my02 jdm turbo , ecu tek remap 3 inch exhaust turbo back , down pipe and 2.5 inch tips , high flow cat. Sti fuel pump. 16.8psi boost on #sports sharp And only 184kw at the hub. Does this seem right. Ran a 13.6qtr mile

Judging by the mods list I'm going to guess that tunehouse did your tune
Few things - the autos need someone who knows what they're doing
Dont waste anymore time and money - just do yourself a favour and get a kido tune
The setup is fine but should be making 200 plus

Mods done by mrt performance , tuned to a safe point. I see other people with same mods pulling more kW. Confused as he'll , ecu tune would be safe locked by them , so how can other tuners work over this. Let's not forget it's an auto, yet I'm trying to find people with honest qtr times to justify this ..

That says it all
There are ways you just need to follow good advice. Speak to kido Matt. ASAP
And don't drive your car until your tune is redone - at all- it will be unsafe, and run like shit (I'm being serious here)
Good honest quarter miles have been had. Yes even with autos
Good luck
Mick

As mick said seek advice and get rid of Mrt ekutek tune.
People are getting same result at the wheels on about 18psi with stock turbos and coolers
Could cost you to unbrick though...
Talk to kido or MSR

Thanks guys on that note does anyone recommend smaller wheels , currently on 18s , as I brake boost the turbo seems to drop off , just before it feels like I'm about to get wheel spin ,so my take offs are generally at 2000 rpm

Look at Pro Gt go

Wheels aren't an issue....kido matt should be able to unlock your ecu? Not sure if msr can unlock ecus
And matt's probably the only tuner here to try and get more out of the auto
Ps. Wait did you say hub dyno? Just drove a complete stock retuned 2006 gt auto...174kw at the hub on your Sydney dynos...and it wasn't even a good tuner. You definitely have more in there. Goodluck

All these stdney tuners are telling me the same thing roughly the same power, msr can't tune ecu tek so can't get a hold of kido. Anyone know a direct number ??
