Did you have stage 1 before?

I know people say Stage 2 is a life changer, but I think those of us who ran Stage 1 for a while don't notice the improvements that much.

True. The big difference is when you get a Protune.

nope. i went to stock to stage 2.

i mean yeah it does improve the pull in the higher RPM's and it spools up a bit faster and hits a bit harder, but it was just expecting more. i dont know. its great, but i hope after i get my protune it will give it a decent amount more power.

From stage 2 to protune, I actually noticed the largest difference. Keep in mind I did it step by step as well. Stage 1 for several months, then stage 2 for a year long, now protuned .

For me the biggest difference was partial throttle boost response and torque, the thing felt like a monster with very little throttle input compared to stock. There was definetely more power and torque at WOT but I noticed the biggest gains in the mid range, also gear changes felt a little different afterwards because of all the extra torque and the startling quickness with which the trubo spools back up. With that said, going from stage 2 to a protuned map at 19 psi almost felt like as big of a difference from stock to stage 2. The feel of the car didn't change as durastically as before but there was more power and torque everywhere under any type of boost.

1. Prodrive axle-back.
2. Helix catted down-pipe.
3. Cobb AP Stage 2 93-octane map.
4. Pro-tune by Jorge (RiftsWRX).

Car pulls like a demon, and is smooth as glass (thanks again Jorge).

5. Alky/water-kit fed by a Spec-C IC tank coming soon!!!

Some say Stage 2 is a monster, others say its a mediocre improvment.

EIther way, its the best bang for the buck by far....highly recommend it!!

Yea man, im looking fwd to getting an exhaust finally, although I held off on ordering the g200 cause i was looking into an rsr exmag gtII possibly (its cheaper) but imho the looks of the invidia are second to none.
