I got a 04 wrx basically stock besides a hks bov and a short ram but i want to put stage 2 on my car but i wanted some suggestions what would be a good brand to buy whats all involved in doing stage 2 give me some suggestions and ideas please thanx
IMO sell the bov and go cobb with a 3" TBE unless you want to go further than a fv34 turbo then go UTEC *sorry vf
^what he said. 3in turbo back, some type of engine management, be it either accessport or utec, and an up pipe. if its the hks ssq keep it..that thing sounds hawwt.
You can but the map was not designed to be used with one. And dont let people tell you that the VF limits the AP capabilities. If you ever move up to new turbos and such you will most likely get a custom tune and with jorge coming semi regularly now you can get a tune for any turbo you want.
+1 I do run really rich on the top end of the power band, but I don't know if it is any worse than with the stock intake. I need to get mine pro tuned to eliminate this.
well, firsts off, how do you know you run really rich on the top end?? Are you running a wbo2? I have run my wbo2 in peoples car that thought they were really rich, and they were running dangerously lean. Russ
I had my car on the dyno at RS last weekend for their dyno day with their wideband O2. According to my printouts and the big puffs of smoke coming out of my exhaust, I'm running rich. Here's the graph. Maybe you can tell me if I am correct saying I run rich.
Also, I believe that the WBO2 at RS won't read below a 10.4 which I hit at around 6k rpm, so it might be lower than that. I was told by the guys at RS that I should stay closer to 11, maybe 11.1 or so to be running better. Is this correct?
