[@cvfox89]

Best of both worlds

[@CarModGuy]

That’s what I was hoping to achieve

[@boostid8026]

This man kept a wife with all these cars and spending 💸 bro I salute you 🤣

[@CarModGuy]

😂

[@BradlehDadleh]

I'm so excited for this!!! :D I can't wait to see and hear the difference between stock and stage 2. ^_^

[@CarModGuy]

Thanks Brad😁

[@neumie20]

It’s awesome seeing how family oriented you are and how your son has the same love of cars. Great hobby to pass on! Looking forward to your install.

[@CarModGuy]

Thanks man

[@christopherheimbuch3456]

Looking forward to seeing this! Good stuff man

[@CarModGuy]

Thanks man

[@josephshehan4763]

Glad you went MA rather than Cobb tune

[@CarModGuy]

Appreciate it. Your comments definitely made a difference. I was about to go with the OTS Cobb tune but because of what you said, and a few others, I decided that MA is the way to go.

[@josephshehan4763]

Car Mod Guy glad I could help! Look forward to seeing the mods go on and what you think about the power bump. Enjoying your content man

[@CarModGuy]

Appreciate it Joseph. Hopefully soon.

[@margaritaamescua9626]

Awesome, looking forward. Congrats you will luv it.

[@CarModGuy]

Margarita Amescua thanks

[@robmiester]

Yo man I got a new sti, and somewhere down the road I'd like to take things to stage 1, perhaps 2. I'll be looking forward to seeing how it goes. Hope all goes well

[@CarModGuy]

Appreciate that, me too. I’ll try to do before and afters on all the installs.

[@GQV10]

Man I love this channel! We're both in our early 30s, married with kid(s), and yet still trying to mod our cars while being responsible. Hope things go well for you - I just bought my wife a present today. 😂

[@CarModGuy]

Lol. Thanks man! Well I hope she likes it! Is it a Subaru? 😂

[@GQV10]

@@CarModGuy 😂 it's a non-car-related present in preparation for a car mod. Currently focused on the Alfa though then will shift to the STI, or at least that's the plan. 😅

[@CarModGuy]

Lol nice. What are you doing to the Alfa?

[@GQV10]

@@CarModGuy just some aesthetic mods including wheels plus a catback.

[@CarModGuy]

Sweet. Have you picked out the wheels yet?

[@Cb_30]

Its funny i was legit lookin at the same setup for my 16 sti, map performance stage 2 nd accessport from cobb, i still think its a bit expensive about 15/1600$ for about 60 whp and torque. Jus lookin for a good coupon code at the moment lmao

[@CarModGuy]

lol. Like you said though, it is wheel horsepower. I think for a 2.5L 4 cylinder, that's quite a bump. Coming from the LS world, I hear you though. But intake/downpipe/tune producing 60whp/wtq, I think that's a pretty good bang for the buck. And if you happen to find that coupon, send it my way too :)

[@Cb_30]

Car Mod Guy yea it is decent power for that $, and will do

[@ivanroque7171]

Looking forward to that review! I might do a lame Maperformance Stage 2+ review on KZbin. I don't see enough of the STi review. You'll most be amazed by the 0 knock. You'll only get some knock with the AC on but that is normal even without the mods.

[@CarModGuy]

Lol that's not zero knock then :). At what RPM range when the AC is on? Just driving normally or hard acceleration?

[@ivanroque7171]

Cobb and MAperformance state that 1.4 with AC happens here and there. But it is not a constant 1.4. and it is a false knock. So, 0 knock. If you are cruising at low rpm range with the AC and slowly gain mph you'll see a 1.4. Again, false knock. I did a safe pull today on the highway from 0-103 and 0 knock. I've seen some other channels with 350-400whp but they are afraid of pushing their stock block or putting it under heavy load. To that I say, what's the point?

[@CarModGuy]

Gotcha. False knocks I’m ok with 😁 thanks for the explanation

[@christopherheimbuch3456]

hey man, was wondering are you still going with this? I am stock and considering a stage 1 map. Idk I do oil changes every 3k and keep really good care of the car. I'm also really interested in doing this stage 2 lol. Did you already have stage 1 or just go to stage 2?

[@CarModGuy]

I haven’t done anything yet. They don’t have what I want in stock yet. But I’ll be going stage 2 directly.

[@moonman_8935]

Any update on the oil burning issue? My 19' STI has 17,000 miles now. It's stock just a catback exhaust. Doesn't burn a drop.

[@CarModGuy]

I’m doing a video on it this week actually. Thanks for keeping up with it 👍

[@Cb_30]

Did you go with the stage 2 kit, if so, hows is it soo far?

[@CarModGuy]

I haven’t yet. I’ll do it eventually :) Real world work has really taken up a lot of my time

[@GR8GUY54]

Any updates here?

[@ninjafit3275]

Hi. So you didnt need to upgrade your fuel injectors when going stage 2 map? Thanks

[@CarModGuy]

I haven’t done it yet, but if you read through the comments and on MAPerformance website, no you don’t.
