  • Welllllllcome back! In this video we talk about what exactly each stage of a Subaru is, what are the expected power levels and how much does each stage cost. Overall this is general information that I wanted to get out there as I still see some confuse in the community and wanted to do what I could to help Clear it up!

      BoostedQuickScope There is nothing that will outright “void” your warranty. Nothing. However, if something breaks, malfunctions, etc. SOA will try and most likely succeed in linking any and all hard part modifications/ecu tuning etc. as the reason for engine failure. Best advice I can give (I have a 2019 wrx and went stage 2 over 3k miles ago) is do your research intensely and then do it some more. Welcome to the subie fam and hopefully the tuning world bro, stay safe and mod smart

    I would say that stage 1 is just the tune with accessport and stage 1+ is ap with intake the +1 being the intake in stages. Stage 2 is downpipe and ap (cobb supported) and stage 2+ is air intake, downpipe, and ap (maperformance) no issues here with ap readings. Stage 3 bolt ons, flex, & other supporting modifications. Just my thoughts. Good video 😎🤙

    From a guy at Boost Controlled Performance, you can see upwards of 350whp and 340 ftlbs of torque. Going higher than 350 torque is what causes engines to blow on stock internals. You can obviously make around 400+ with e85 BUT you need upgraded pistons and conrods.

  • @yellowsnow1922
    @yellowsnow1922 Před 4 lety +11

    Hey @Smeedia, I just want to make a correction on what you said:
    Stage 1 for WRX: you literally only need the accessport and flash it on all stock parts, not the intake. I know "opinions" varies, but if you consult forums and reputable tuners, they'll tell you that the intake is one of the LAST mods you should do. The factory one is actually very good up to ~400HP. Cold air intake is nothing more than a sweet noise maker and at most, you'll gain 5-10hp for a $300-$400 upgrade. You're better off spending that money on a AOS and TGV/EGR delete than an aftermarket intake.
    PS- I'm not biased. My WRX is a "stage 3" track-oriented car. And I have an aftermarket CAI.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  Před 4 lety

      The car runs great and feels great with all the other driver mods I've done to it since (pitch stop mount and brace, bushings, tranny mounts, engine mount, etc). The only downside rn is Cobb's ethanol sensor failing on me but it's getting warrantied to their newest version and my fuel pump failing due to wiring and voltages/amps on the stock wiring harness for the fuel pump (aem 340). But other than those minor inconveniences, the car always puts a smile on my face every time I drive it or look at it.

Add ETS front mount/tmic to one of the first things you do. Doesn’t change noise or power, but it lets you keep things cooler which is super important. And in turn helping power more consistently
