Hi all, I just bought a 2003 WRX wagon. I'm ready to upgrade the car. I'm intrested in the Stage 2 kit. Is it the best bang for the $2500.00 price tag, install included.
Is there something better?

I had the Turboxs stage 2 Setup and I liked it but if your on a budget this is what I would do.

I would get a manual boost controller and exhaust mods. Then get an uppipe. You can run low to mid 13s with these mods without any engine management. I know a lot of guys with just exhaust mods and boost controllers and they are running fast times at the track and haven' t had any reliability issuses. I drove around for about 6 mouths with a mbc and exhaust mods. My WRX ran great with this basic setup.

If your going to move up to a larger turbo, fuel injectors, and fuel pump then I would invest in some sort of engine management/chip.
