Ha you'd think wouldn't you? Well the damage is already done once driven on the stock tune. It's called micro cracking that eventually splits the piston. Also a tune doesn't fix the horrible fuel system. You have to parallel the lines and remove the returns that take fuel away before they enter the motor. Been installed since 08 and when all started popping.
And the sti isn't much. Since 09 the WRX has had a faster 1/4 and a track time around VIR till the 11 sti came out with the wing and upgraded suspension. Even then the powers only been around 10hp stock vs stock and equal once tuned. The sti'a goodies don't help it when the WRX is lighter. If you upgrade brakes and suspension on the WRX and /or on the sti the WRX is still a better car. Still faster and a lot less money spent! As for the new WRX it might be slower now even upgraded because a 2.0 motor will not put power and torque down like the old ones.
