Concerning the AP: the only maps legal in STU are 1) stock and 2) one that doesn't change boost. If you're running a Stage 1 or 2 map, it's illegal. There is likely some power left in the car if you just tune it without changing boost, but IMO, until you have the suspension sorted, it's a waste of time. If you aren't happy with how the car handles, you can't really use the extra power.

As far as bang for the buck mods, rear sway bar and alignment for sure. Set bar to full stiff. If you can flip the front camber bolts like the Evo 8/9 then you can get a decent amount of camber up front. Run as much camber as possible in the front and a slight bit of toe out up front (or 0 if it's a daily), and go to town.

After that, you're really just a set of good coilovers away from having a pretty competitive car.
