HDTurbo Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Good for you! I'm very new here and am awaiting a (thankfully) warranty-covered turbo replacement at 89k mi. With the $$ I "saved", I want to try some mods. Is starting with the the Cobb Stage 1 (05-06 AccessPORT) unit the way to go? All advice welcome for the newb!

subiedad51 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Infamous1 tune - new catless upipe (or gut your oem one) and new downpipe (catted or catless). Stage 2 - power, driveability, better mileage and much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Tank Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Contact Infamous1 he can hook you up with a remote tune. He sends you a base map and then you datalog on your AP. You send him the logs and he sends you a revison (7 times). When you're finished you'll have more power and a much safer tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Yep - OP has an 07 but HDTUBRO was saying he was going to get an AP for an 05/06 so I assume he's got something earlier than an 07. I'm on my 3rd revision with Infamous and loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteyjr Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 +3 on the infamous Tunes. Cobb OTS maps can't compare. Especially if you have mods like a panel filter which is not taken into account with the OTS maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finse Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Bummer on the 5eat. Lgt 5 spd> old wrx 5spd This is the truth. I know a guy with a worked 2.5 engine in his 02 wrx, destroyed 2nd gear just romping on the gas around a corner. He rebuilt his tranny with LGT gears.

HDTurbo Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Bummer on the 5eat. Lgt 5 spd> old wrx 5spd Yeah, I hated to part w/ the WRX, but at 83k and 2nd tranny rebuild, I had to move on. I love the LGT wagon and am glad I got the extended warranty :)that worked to cover the turbo replacement. Thanks for your kindly responses and sorry for the poor newb research. My experience from other forums is that 'good ones' have people that like to help a newb out! I'll be back better informed and sporting hip abbreviations:rolleyes:!
