Ironically.... even before that when I was a Subaru guy, I used the Cobb Accessport to tune my STI, and I'd even done a turbo/injector swap on that. Same story though: set it and forget it. I've never "datalogged" anything..... nor could I really tell you exactly what "datalogging" even means.

Living overseas, time difference, and my piss poor computer skills? Probably best I just hold off until they get something dialed in bit better. I mean.... 523 hp is nothing to scoff at.... it should move pretty well, even stock
The M50i is a rocket stock! It’s just missing the growl of the V8 but speed wise is pretty wicked
