Stock turbo and a pro tune will make a noticable difference over cobb stage 2. These cars start to get real fun around 300whp.

actually, he dropped a $0.05 screw he got from lowes in it before he gave her the keys. and yeah, she is still his wife.... she authorized him to use 4k to fix something she thought she did.... little does she know. i might have to do the same.

You have an 09 STI chances are you engine is on it's way out. I would have a compression and leek down test done before anything else is done. If you got $4000 to spend I would go stock turbo ewg and an e85 tune if you have that gas near you

Failure of using multi quote and having same answers.....

Get a mild build and I say a Dom 1.5.

Why buy a stock one, they go easily for 450 used these days... new.... 1k? If the motor needs work it will obviously hold the power no problem.
