More UTEC Questions
I'm planning on ordering UTEC within the next few days and had I few questions for everybody. Right now my only modifications are STi short shifter, Autometere Boost/EGT guages and HKS Type-1 turbo timer. So here goes...
1. The Stage 1 map increases boost from 12.1 to 15.1psi from my understanding. Is it safe to run 3lbs more boost with the stock exhaust for awhile. I'm eventually planning to replace everything starting with the up pipe...but I want to make sure I can run 15.1psi with the factory up pipe for a few months.
2. I hear there's another map for an otherwise stock WRX...but is tuned for 93 octane. I use 93 octane anyways so I'm wondering what the performance difference between this map and the stock 91 octane map is.
3. After I install an UP, DP, mid pipe, cat back and BOV will more tuning help out a lot over stock? or do I need something big like a larger turbo/intercooler for more tuning/different map to be helpful.
4. I know how much people hate this question, but I have to ask. What kind of 0-60 and 1/4 times can be expected with a good driver and just UTEC.
Thanks for all the help everyone...sorry for such the long post.

utec
1. the uppipe isnt necessary for running higher boost, it lets the turbo spool up faster about 500 rpm faster, but it should be safe. that is the way turboxs has the stage 1 utec mapped.
2. dont know
3. if you get the stage 2 map of turboxs webpage they state the horsepower goes up to around 300. thats a huge difference over stock. plus you can fine tune for whatever upgrades you have.
4. i would think you would be high 13s
and 5. you should buy the new utec i want to sell. 900 shipped! obo

1... yes it should be safe to run conservative amounts of boost on the stock uppipe although I would recommend getting rid of it as the cat in there is your worry not to mention it's removal will provide a large benefit to your spool.
2. The 93 octane map allows you to run more timing w/ out detination thus has more power.
3. YES MASSIVLY... big gains compared to stock but you can still again have bigger gains w/ an upgraded turbo and intercooler.
4. high 13's to 16's depending on the driver.
at stage 2 (UP & DP & UTEC w/ stock axel back I netted 13.6's and 0-60 of 4.8-4.9
5.. for purcahse of the UTEC contact my buddy Dan at godspeed... www.godspeedinc.com I believe he sells utecs new for 899 last I saw him post on it... tell him Chuck sent you

Dont wait too long to replace your uppipe. More timing, boost, and leaner A/F, WILL, melt your cat, and can release metal particles into your intercooler. Some engines have been ruined by this event.
