Your old tune was 21psi PEAK and then tapering off, look at the boost graph on the dyno. At redline Id imagine the boost is the same.
FMIC cost + retune cost for what you got is so so IMO, but its not my car.
Your turbo will last longer this way at least, not pushing it to its peak on spike in the midrange. That is without a doubt a good thing.

If you compare the two from about 4800-6600 rpm my new tune holds about 315-324whp the entire time, my old tune peaked at 318whp and tapers down to around 270whp by 6600 rpm. That new power band is worth a good bit to me considering what it pulled like before in that range.
I know what you mean about being cost effective but i'd wait to judge that on what the car does on higher boost. I mean more boost is more power and I feel theres a bit more to gain yet.

Fp in genereal has had fitment issues from what a couple shops have told me. I heard Fp will replace the turbo if it has a defect from the factory though. I helped my buddy put his Fp big 16g on and it was a flawless installation. Some people just get bad ones I guess

^^ ya its a shame he got into a crash last wednesday, sandwiched. Most of the damage was in the rear and apparently its too much for insurance to cover and it might be totaled. ;'[ Hes gone through so much with the car its a shame. Hes even on his 2nd motor build. Hopefully we can get the swap into a gc8 impreza... lets just hope
