Turbo cars are usually pretty conservatively tuned from the factory, which also has to keep into account emissions (hence Subie torque dip...)

The VW EA888 1.8 and 2.0 are pretty legendary for their chip only gains, but it seems like the Evo X has got decent gains from a reputable tuner.

+60hp, +83hp from chip only
