You're telling me. I have trouble blowing past my cousin in his basically stock wrx because I have to shift late where boost falls off or else my clutch slips to hell. Glad I'm putting the car up soon for the clutch to be installed and a whoreload of modz.
if you don't have hp tuners you will have to find a tuner either near you or that you can travel to so they can load the tunes. if you have or are getting hp tuners software then you can load the tunes yourself and have which ever tuner you choose to email you the tune files. byt uses hp tuners. contact backyard turbo on the supporting vendor section if this is who you choose. any of the other tuners.....chevycobaltss3, mdub, byt, term2, zzp or any of the known hptuners here could do an email tune for you

How about thinking about those of us who would rather hide the extra horsepower when other drivers need to use the car? Soooo.... the idea is: Wife drives - docile GMS1, I drive......bigger tune. Unless you guys are honestly thinking repeatedly flashing back and forth every time the car switches drivers, I suggest a clue-check.
We all have good reasons for the **** we do.

We all have good reasons for the **** we do.I choose trifecta because I wanted something safe and conservative and something that wouldn't break my car. I didn't know HPT could be conservative then when I made my decision, but I do now. Not a tuner at all, but from what I understand they can both be safe.

Conclusion to the story! Don't let Ure wife drive the car. And heres another point. I don't have to flash my car for less or more aggressive .. its called learn to drive ure csr. Lead foot means more power. Drive conservativly.

I agree, there's times I leave it in super slow mode for Valet people. If my cruise control is off when I get back in my car, I think I'd be pissed. Hasn't happened yet, but I will be.

Thanks for the enlightenment - I'm only partly concerned with the safety of the tune, because when I add the tune, I'm not planning on a 9/10's run-till-it-snaps tune; just something to account for the future addition of the performance pipes and possibly bigger IC. But I would like to have the choice of pushing the kill switch, since my significant-other-driver doesn't normally do turbo (and she doesn't HAVE to know how fast it really is after everything is done 
)
Swapping tunes just ain't smooth enough, tho.
