Get the exhaust first. You can do a stage one map, but the turbo back is the way to go. You can go all at once with the exhaust or bit and pieces. I think someone posted that gruppe-s has the helix turbo back for sale for like 750 plus shipping. I'd reccomend that or the RS-R with no shipping. Check out Ryan or Justin at Vakamon. JMO

You atleast need a stage 2 for the AccessPort to be really effective. (Turbo-back) Check out the FAQ section at:

access port isn't any fun without the upgrades

 

^^^Im sure its a lot more fun when you car is broken in and can go over 4k RPM. Oh wait, thats right you wouldn't know. :banana:

 

roughly 400 more miles to go............thats a long time considering im going to VEGAS next weekend.....i wouldn't mind going to run the 1/4 for S*** and giggles

 

400 miles? i've done that in a day!

 

I'm saving it for a special day.......lol, I can't run 400 miles in a day or two, i'll wait to pass the 1K mark after my vegas trip

 

i think i might go with the stage 1... and upgrade later... can i upgrade?

 

Yep!! Sure can. It is easy... almost too easy.

Vakamon??

 

no these will not go to vakamon... they will come directly to your house via UPS.

 

Oh, i was asking who or what is "Vakamon"? Sry. =)

 

I'm getting mine tonight from a buddy who is selling it for $500. Is it a good idea to buy this now? This is going to be my first mod for HP increase. Relatively, how much HP am I gaining w/o any other mods? ECU management is all I'm getting for now as my understanding (sorry, I'm a noob at this, and still learning). Thank you all for reading this post. Any informations are highly appreciated.

 

On a all-else-stock car, you're looking at getting 25-30 hp and about that much torque. You didn't say if this was a WRX or STi though. If you get a turbo back as your next mod, you're bumping that up to about 50hp if you run the stage 2 maps.

 

sykosis, thank you for the info. I apoligize for not telling what I am driving.

'03 PSM WRX

My only "mod" is K&N air filter.

Thanks again.
