It's always nice to get tech support when you need it. Looking forward to your feedback.

well fellas, im looking for a dyno in orange county ca that supports awd cars. i wanted to go to eas but the dyno they have only supports rwd. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. im also working back and forth with racechip trying out different settings on the chip. i'd say so far the s2=8 s1=3 on 91 fuel seems to be the best so far. no engine light as of yet and the car feels great.

I believe S1 is not relevant for gas motor.
I'll ask my friend on Tuesday, he has a Subaru performance shop, maybe he do have 4 wheels dyno.

You can always go to the drag strip as well, would give us a better idea than dyno alone. My buddy ran 12.19 @ 117.46 on a stock M550

Drag strip have too many variables that can't give you the same result in every pull.

Well you could say the same about dyno as well. Drag gives you a better idea of how the car is doing and how fast it actually is instead of just numbers. Plus with xdrive and 8at most of the variables are out anyways

Yea, I talk to them. I am in process of adding them to my website.
Some of the parts are in stock already. Mostly the aero kit that is still on back order.

Any updates on the M550i? Are we looking to get Stage 1 release soon, end of the year, or....?

In theory, should have it to the market before the end of the year. Probably well before that but there are no concrete dates established yet as their are plenty of steps to go that may go awry. A bit cryptic I know but I've learned my lesson on estimating release dates before finished goods are in the building awaiting shipment. Less issues with underpromising. =)

Subscribing to this thread!

Would the Dinan stage 1 require a wiring harness similar to others or is it a plug and play in the odb port?
