Ideally I would need to change a lot such as the FMIC, internals, HKS v-cams and finally the HKS Fcon V-pro! These would cost me a fortune!!!
So for now, I only can afford a very good tune using the HKS V-pro ECU. We dont have much options here in Brunei :( At the moment we only have 1 shop with a pro tuner from HKS, thats about it.. A re-tune (for future add-ons) would cost me smtg like US$750! (O_o)
get yourself a real tune and you'll easily put down 300+whp. with the pump and fuel regulator, you're only larger injectors away from a bigger turbo...

Mate, should I just get a turbo or better a turbo kit? I was thinking of the GReddy TD06 25G kit that includes wastegate. REALLY, I dont know a lot about turbos. I am aiming for about 450-480 bhp but I want super responsive one like under 4 secs 0-100km/h!
indeed, but that doesn't solve the problem. the vf39 has an unfortunate flaw in that the wastegate can't flow enough to keep boost levels down. porting the wastegate helps this, and while you're doing that, overall flow efficiency of the turbo can be upgraded = more air at the same pressure = more power and no more creep.
not so much a problem here, but it has caused fatal detonation for some people. :(
Well I must say I have only done 'basic' mods to it.. TBExhaust, downpipe, EL header, walbro 255 pump, intake, fuel reg, EVC, ECU re-flash. Errr not too 'basic' I guess hehe.. and I still dunno how much HP my car is pushing hahaha..
get yourself a real tune and you'll easily put down 300+whp. with the pump and fuel regulator, you're only larger injectors away from a bigger turbo...
you call from goin from 1 bar to almost 1-5 bar slightly modded??? Love the gauge, the same one excpet in red and in PSI, gay i know, bit nice and looks sick with the STi dash.
Well yeah its nothing major.. Only basic mods. And it was 1.25 bar stock boost actually, passed 1.3-1.4bar sometimes at gears 4,5,6. I prefer to keep my car at that stock boost :)
That's funny coz the stock boost for my STI '06 is normally 0.7 bar max. and goes down to a constant 0.5 bar. Ain't got boost controller..(so is my defi lying to me?) haha!
That is funny indeed! It should be 1.0 bar minimum, bone stock! Mine usually goes to about 1.25 bar & dropped to about 1.0 bar when it was bone stock..
very common problem with the stock turbo. considering the price of the car, i think its well worth the 150-200 or so it costs to have the wastegate ported. once it flows a little better in there, boost creep is gone.
or if you're brave, you can easily do it yourself. :)
it seems that you have a defi turbo gauge mounted on the steering column. i have a defi turbo gauge, oil pressure and oil temprature gauge, in a 3 gauge pod. lovely car.
Yea thanks.. Not to promote careless driving or anything of course.. But this was done only on rare occasion & on clear open road. Please do not attempt this on your own without 'safety first' in your head..
@Datguyjr2010 stock are tuned to do that.

I wonder how much can I get the GT30R kit ordered hmm... Can I get like under 4sec 0-100km/h time with that kit and the V-pro tune??
Thanks a lot for all the guide and help mate, really appreciate it! :)

Just recently got an option to use the ECUTEK. The same tuner can do it now. Is it worthy?

U guys are problably taking the pressure gauge in diff points, like after and before the Intercooler, that can justify the 0,3 bar diff of u.

vf39 boost creep it seems, if you're getting 1.3-1.4. the ecu can adjust for it, but you're best off to port that wastegate.
