hi, this is my first time posting, i was wondering if anyone could help me Make my 02 black wrx my Daily driver fast. i get discounts on carbon fiber parts and anything else. if someone could help me i would really appreciate it! im looking to get started on it asap!:character00245:

 

how fast are you wanting to go?

Whatever you do I suggest a Cobb AccessPort (engine management) which can switch maps and allows the EM to grow with the mods.

A good basic setup would be a catless up-pipe, an aftermarket downpipe (catted or catless), and a Cat-Back exhaust. After that, get a custom tune (called a protune) for the AccessPort

 

MBasile pretty much sumed it up. For beginning mods stage 2 is the route to go. EM and Full Turboback exhaust. Tuning can wait if you upgrade the turbo.

 

Tuning can actually be quite beneficial even with a stock car. After going to Stage 2 (turboback exhaust) I'd definitely get tuned. The AccessPort actually comes with a Stage 2 map, although its not nearly as good as a ProTune, but it is still better than untuned.

You're also in such a great area for tuning that you'd be crazy not to get tuned. There's Mike at GST and Ed of EQTuning. Theres debate between the two, but they each say the other is a great tuner (I think Ed still offers road tuning which is awesome)

 

Fixed... :bounce:

 

thanks, I'm tired and watching TV, fixed it in the original post

 

Give us a call (510) 264-9049 or shot us a PM we would be happy to help you make your car as fast as you desire. There are so many option that I can't bring myself to type everything tonight

Mike

 

^^^ that'd be Mike at GST

 

thanky ou for the help, where should i look to buy the cobb and the uppipe and downpipe, any websites and as far as giving u a call mike i will but just to let u know i moved to socal for school but i go back home alot, haha i use 2 paintball in Hayward!

 

I just installed an invidia downpipe and already had an spt catback. flashed to stage two and it made a big difference! i plan on getting on uppipe soon which should help out a ton! but seriously i wouldnt get cobb unless you have some money to spend. there really is not too much difference in downpipes between the invidia and cobb and helix. i went with invidia cause it was cheaper and still had good reviews. the cobb accessport is a must and i would recommend that as the first thing you get. just get a version one on ebay for cheap. any uppipe will work that is catless. uppipe downpipe and accessport is what you'll want and you will be pushing almost 300 h.p. i spent $800 for everything to make sixty horses. not bad

 

oh ya and rallysportdirect.com had some really good prices and free shipping over $200. they shipped everything really fast and had good service.

 

You're insane if you think you can make 300hp on the stock turbo and intercooler with just an up-pipe and downpipe and an accessport. Cobb's own numbers on this are in the 270-280 range. 30hp less is not "almost."

 

actually it does say on there site if you use 93 octane you can get 285 which is ya sorry to say "almost" 300. thanks though

 

just save up for a bigger turbo daily driven a vf series turbo will do fine...

 

thanks all wait so what should i do im going to do something starting next week, but should i just save for turbo? and if so which 1 or should i do uppipe downpipe and all that good stuff?
