I recently found out that if you have an 04+ wrx, then you should definitely get a tune so that you don't get boost creep.

Well, I've been running a catless APS tbe for about a year, with no tune... =/

Will a Cobb AP OTS map fix this or do i need a custom tune?


Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Get yourself a tune - Cobb will work or find someone who will do it Open Source for you. It's better for the motor, and the power you pick up is like night and day.

You might punch yourself in the head for waiting so long to go Stg. 2. It's so worth it.

I think I'll just get an AP. I have a cai intake as well so should I put it back to stock airbox before I put on stage 2 map?
