You just trying to figure out what map to run?

Just look and see what mods you need for the map.

All the companies have different stages BTW.

stage 4 by Turbo XS standards.... Stage 2.5 by Cobb standards

actually... you'd probably more a long the line of stage 2 STI by Cobb standards.

stage x as stated by blake (bpang1) would be defined differently by different companies. Since you're running an AP by Cobb you'll want to follow their stage process.

there is no Cobb "stage 3" map, there are vf34 and vf39 maps though

Stage 1 is stock with a tune
Stage 2 is a turboback with a tune (and maybe an uppipe depending on the year of the car)
After Stage 2 pretty much is a turbo upgrade, and there are so many different paths to go down in that area that there is no "Stage 3"

You're "Stage Q", happy?

On your 07 you have sweet injectors and do not need new ones, for pre 07 you would need to pick up some STI pink (566cc I believe) or some WRX blue ( 565cc ) injectors and run the Cobb VF39 STi Pink, stock intake map.

For you though run the VF39 91oct ( VF39 turbo, STI TMIC & Turboback exhaust using 91 octane. 357HP (+55%)/ 329lb-ft (+40%) ) found on their website here

Yeah it is, I actually misread the OP somehow and thought he was looking for AP maps and just copy/pasted from Cobb.
