    Hey everyone I'm new to the Subaru scene here with an 08 STI I just purchased last week. So far I'm loving the car and I drive it daily. I'm looking for any input on good places to tune it, good modifications without braking the bank, meets or good contacts for idea's etc. I've looked around this site for a few weeks now and there are some nice subie's around here. Here are a few pictures of my car the way it sits right now. 390408_4605244251802_271196414_n.jpg 298455_4605246131849_1743858906_n.jpg

    I got your back, moved it to the "Welcome Mat" Welcome to MNSubaru.com! If you are looking for a tune I would highly suggest sending Nuke a PM, he and the NF Performance crew have worked their magic on many of the members cars on here. Let me know if you have any questions at all and we look forward to seeing that sweet red STI at one of our many events!

    I'm from Dakota County, Apple Valley to be exact. The picture was taken this weekend down near Mankato at my cabin.

    Welcome to the site. I like the red, we don't have a lot of red hatchbacks on the forum.

    +1 for NF Performance.

    Very nice, I also just picked up an 08 STi. Did you happen to pick this up from the Luther dealer? Otherwise I saw one just like it there.

    TMF yeah I did pick it up from Luther just over a week and a half ago. Nuke I pm'd you but I want to get some info on a tune. I just bought a grimmspeed boost controller Walbro fuel pump and next is some new injectors and intake. Thanks for the interest everyone I'm loving my car.

    That's the plan for it. Still new to the whole turbo car but I pretty sure I'm doing it right. 1200cc injectors with 255lph fuel pump plus a good tune should be all I need for e85.
