Since my 04 WRX is my daily driver I don't plan on heavily modding
my car just bolton's really.

Ya, me too. I only think i'm going to do COBB stage 2 with an APS 3" TBE and APS uppipe as far as the motor goes. From what I read those are pretty safe modifications.

From what I have researched tuning is the key to moding your WRX right. Alot of people like the COBB access port because once you buy it you can use over and over again when you do more mods. All you have to do is either download the map that fits your car from the COBB or have a shop that can you use Access Port to protune it.
So if you do one mod, get the map for it, then when you do another you can go and get a new map.
The stage 1 map doesn't need any modifications done to your car and it give you more power and smooth the turbo out.

I would also like to do the Cobb up pipe but,how is the fitment
of the Cobb up and down pipe on the stock turbo? Any fitment issues
or does it just bolt right on?
I hear people rave about the Cobb accessport.Do they send you a tune
when you get it or do you have to have it Protuned by someone?
Just wondering?

I don't know if the fitment is good or not, but since COBB is a pretty Subaru specific company I would figure that the fitment is good.
As far as the tuning I think you just download them off the net unless you want to have someone tune it really good, then you need a dyno and a protune.

conservitive dyno and a protune I think it is worth every penny.
Everyone has told me that the Cobb up and down is a perfect
fit and you just bolt it right up.I'm just asking around though thanks.
