2018 WRX Goes Stage 2+ (Protuned)

[@cheexiong1449]

Nice build I’m at 327whp with Cobb sf intake, Cobb downpipe, grimspeed boost controller, Cobb charge pipe, and unknown cat back exhaust. Unfortunately I’m still using the OEM intercooler. This year I’m going to pair it with Cobb tmic, FP blue and the new Cobb flex fuel. Hopefully they will release it soon fingers crossed

[@Ivan-ds5io]

dumb question. What does going stage 2 mean? is it when you buy the Cobb stage 2 package?

[@gerryguzman5983]

Intercooler, turbo boost silinoid, j pipe

[@andrewmizell25]

Hey man idk if you'll even see this comment but if you do please let me know how things went with your car. Any issues with reliability?

[@DanielMartinez-vw6bs]

Bro I’m planning to buy the downpipe and the boost controller,I have already install the boomba BPV,tomei equal length headers,TMIC,Perrin charge pipe,oil catch can,Perrin intake,magnaflow competition series exhaust and Rev9 turbo inlet. Do you think I can have a good numbers with that mods??

[@brandonk73]

Where did you get the top mount intercooler housing

[@dougdavis8482]

ask your tuner about the small feedback knock.. but I dont believe its anything to worry about under WOT our cars direct injection still may see some little -1.4, even just cruise it's hot outside too so that may have a little bit to do with it. or you ac compressor could be the culprit too.

[@civicekhatch9]

Hey did you have the car tune with speed density? I'm looking to have Kevin at Dotson tuning to tune my car next week. I was wondering if it worth paying $100 dollars more

[@13Thespmex]

The only way your going to need a speed density tune is if your planning to go with a blow off valve, if not a regular tune will be just fine. Performance wise should be about the same. Speed density calculates the air that will be shooting out the car through the blow off valve vs a regular MAF tune which recirculates the air that the turbo pressurizes through the BPV.

I see you got the sti headlights. Did it come like that or you put them on? I was told that 2018 and up sti headlights are not compatible with wrx

AFR maintain 12.9 all day?

[@NationOG23]

nice build

[@rjlanhoward26]

You have a list of mods for the car?

[@chrisnewby5713]

Stock mid pipe is killing any gains, massive choke point

[@13Thespmex]

No longer running stock mid pipe, running non resonated r400 catback now.

[@tylervolkmar]

how’s the car’s reliability been and how miles did you tune it at and how many now?

[@andrefleming7704]

Do you pass your emissions in Texas?

[@michaeltawil3057]

What exhausts was this

[@Gavin_G01]

How could you tell it was misfiring? Did your DAM drop or what? Bc I just want stage 2 and I’m on MAP’s stage 2 OTS tune and my car is at constant .562 DAM

[@Shotty2daFACE]

Spend the money and get a custom etune or go get pro tuned. No way your dam should stay that low.

[@odinisgod4577]

that a fuel issue yout need to be running 93 from a good fuel source like shell that all my car with happily run on other wise any other gas company the dam drops

[@ibcrazy3]

What mods do you have?

[@Flatbushfonz]

Where you get your front lip

[@13Thespmex]

From Amazon it’s called IKON MOTORSPORT sti style lip it was $130 at the time.

[@DraGScxpe]

Do these guys offer just dyno pulls? I want to see what kind of power im making on my car

[@13Thespmex]

Not sure! I’m sure you could get dyno pulls you just have to make an appointment. Dotson seems like a busy guy.

[@remissiveslave]

Don't push to hard or it will do what subarus are most known for, boom.

[@saluddin3622]

What was the knock? Was it ok ? And is the car reliable?

[@13Thespmex]

Car has been reliable so far! Tuner said it was within normal knock numbers and nothing to be worried about.

[@saluddin3622]

@@13Thespmex how many miles have you driven on the tune?

[@13Thespmex]

3k miles since I only drive it on the weekends but I take it to the drag strip and drive it pretty hard on the regular and no issues.
