    I just got the AP 2.0 installed in the 06 wagon. First impressions are that its really easy to install and fast. The backup of stock map plus the base map flash only took about 10 minutes and it was ready to go. the interface is easy to use and it is small and easy to stow at least. Its all in all a quality product, ray couldn't have been easier to deal with too, definitely the guy to go to to get an AP (I think I got the last 2.5L for now though).

    definitely boosting higher, about .2 bar more on the stock boost gauge, got to about 13.6 or so on the AP gauge. Much smoother powerband all around, especially in the low end and it builds boost much faster. feels more "STi like" now than it did before, definitely feels faster. one of these days I'll take it up to LSE and get a dyno sheet comparing it to my stock baseline to see how much power the stage 1 actually adds on. It really gets up and going much faster than it did stock, its definitely a difference you can tell. I'll have to play around with it a little bit more later on today to see what else I can do with it besides show live gauges and flash maps (probably not much for now)

    Need to get a turboback soon, but saving that until I have more cash to spare. can't wait for AP stage 2 now.

    Nope, there is nothing to buy. I already have the upgrade software so I can tune 2.0, but the 2.0 software hasn't been released yet. The 2.0 software will unlock all cool features.
