Has anyone Done the Stage 2 Power Package (350HP) for a 2004 STI? If So Where you Really happy Or disapointed?
there are a few guys here. 6MTizzle being one of them. remember that is crank and not wheel horse. fyi, you wont at all be disappointed.
yea, pete's sti is damn fast, i would say thats the best bang for the buck. And for the future completly upgradable to diffrent maps for whatever upgrades you get
NOT, I repeat NOT disappointed. The downpipe makes the boost hit quicker and harder. I bought my car already cobb stage 1 and the difference from 1 to 2 is huge and definitely noticable. Pushes you back in your seat like you wouldn't believe.
No I have never Been there thats in St paul Right? . But I work In mendota heights I dont think im to far from Burnsville, . Would it be cool if i got a ride sometime Soon? I just want to feel it befor I buy
just shoot me a pm some nite if you want to stop by. I work til 6 on the other side of the cities so I'm usually not back to burnsville until 7 or so.
Also forgot to mention good old boost creep and the LWG map. On stage one I was having boost creep when I pushed the pedal all the way down in 5th and 6th. Whether due to the stage 2 LWG map or divorced wastegate dp(I didn't buy cobbs, my DP is Invidia) or a combination of both, the boost creep stopped.
So If i buy there Stage 2 Package with the turbo Back Ex I will have boost creep?And What is boost creep? sorry its my first turbo
Just see if you can get a divorced wastegate DP and you shouldn't have to worry about boost creep. Some of the bellmouths cause turbulence that causes the boost creep, but i'm unsure which ones are more prone to it than others. I'm gpoing to go ahead and assume the cobb one is ok since they tune the AP in house maps with it. the stocker will definitely cause boost creep. Its basically got a wall 3 inches back from the wastegate.
cobb's dP is stinkin expensive. not worth it in my opinion. there is also some sharp ridges in the bellmouth that will make things more turbulent.
+1 Cobb DP is VERY EXPENSIVE. I got my invidia for 300 from istoreparts.com....I also had it 2000 degree painted from JetHot and spent about the same as the Cobb without coating or wrapping. I had Istoreparts.com ship it right to them and had JetHot ship it to me. You may also want to check imprt image. They have good prices on everything else that I've checked on. It may be worth your time to check them as well.
hey, i'm not trying to push the cobb or anything =] Just thought it might work better with the AP (never bought anything from them in my life) The BPM divorced wastegate pipe I have is le sexay. Not sure, but i don't think they're too expensive. (nevermind i just looked, not cheap and not easy to find anymore)
If you're gonna buy an Accessport, Sogonerg on this board will sell you one for cheaper than anywhere else for brand stinkin' new.
Zak does make a valid argument. I'm sure the maps are tuned with the cobb dp. I didn't buy the cobb cuz of price and I wanted a divorced wastegate. If you want the highest accuracy for your basemap get the Cobb. I've had no problems whatsoever with mine but regardless I'm getting tuned in May so I wasn't too worried anyways.
Cobb AP is on my to do list. I will have to get a hold of Sogonerg for a quote. I was very impressed with how long the power stayed on when Pete (6MTizzle) gave me a ride last week. Thats what I need for they type of events I enjoy doing most. Thanks again Pete! He's in the spot light again.
Oh sure get me in trouble! haha...jk...Thanks for the support Fong always Kickin8! Mushashi yours will be in soon, 05 STi AP-Sold, Still available 04 STi AP- ??? I wonder who wants that one? hmmm...*haaa-Kickin81-chu* that was suppose to be a sneeze... :roll:
You're welcome! I don't want the spotlite..lol just trying to help people out. Dp is the best 300 dollar mod I've done on any car I've owned.
