I have always liked the hardy looks of a forester and was more than glad to get my second hand 05/06 2.5 FXT just about a year ago.
Though the engine is powerful, the stock setup proved to be slightly underpowered with the weight of the car.
Just when I was starting to look back at my decision, I was intro to Benny of DYNOTECNICA Singapore.
HE BREATHED LIFE INTO MY FXT!!!!
After tuning and some small part changes and a boost controller installed, my ride now boasts a hefty 325+ horses. Might not be that impressive for some in this forum, but his team's friendly, sincere services and great tuning expertise left a deep impression. Never knew my FXT could do that.

Just to name a few, I would prob think, a bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, boost controller, bigger intercooler & maybe even spark plugs too....
If car is faster, then of course brakes has to be changed to stop the new power of the car....

Hi bro, i will be getting the SH9 and would like to retune the engine for better Low and mid range. Do u think Dynotechnica can do it? Im only thinking of adding a fuel regulator and replace the air filter element. Lastly can the STI gold brembo 4pot 2pot fit my original 17", if not what size wheel should i be looking at? eg. offset? wideth?
thank you!!

I am no tuner though but i think its best to let the tuner decide what you must change and what you can use back as each tuner varies.
There's quite a number of pro-subaru workshop in S'pore that offers tuning services as well, but its best to know what kind of power you want as mentioned here.
I do know that in order to achieve better power, you have to replace some necessary stock items like fuel pump, etc....
As for wanting to change the gold brembos and using back stock rims, that is impossible.
You need the following specs to clear brembos for 17 & 18 inches wheels
17 or 18 x 7.5J offset 35
17 or 18 x 8.0J offset 47 min to clear
17 or 18 x 8.5J offset 48 min to clear
Hope this helps
