auto-reply: But its interior is nicer....
It SHOULD say you can't fake Quick. Lets be real here.
exactly, I mean I got a WRX limited for ~10k cheaper than the R. and for $1050 I now have a car cable of crapping on it. Not to mention even with software the Golf R is going to struggle to keep up with a comparably modded WRX, STI? Forget about it.
again you guys are clearly looking over the interior.....
STI>WRX>Golf R>GTI
Jester/Sterling, what are your mods?
Ive been putting thought into a STI but have heard a few horror stories about mods and tunes not playing so nice and causing damage. You guys pro tuned or running a cookie cutter cobb map?
My performance mods are:
-Cobb SF Intake with box
-Cobb AP running a TorquedPerformance Map
-Tsudo Catless 3" DP
-Nameless Axleback
The map is from:

His "off the shelf tune" on two different GR Sedans with same mods as me.
12.812 @105.26mph
12.780 @105.41MPH
Dam thats quick
i need to just buy a turbo back and go straight to stage 2. hahaha.
Agreed!!
Next on my list is the ProcessWest top mount, ECBS, and protune. Should drop that time and raise my trap.
So is it true that for every mod, i.e. the, up pipe, ect its absolutely necessary to retune within a short amount of time?
And why haven't you guys touched your up pipe?. I remember changing out my buddies on his 02, and with that and a dp it was making a good amount of power.
yup it's true
even with an intake you need to get a proper tune.
the ecu is not adaptive like the vw's. so you have high risk of screwing something up.
for the uppipe i think the huge benefit is throwing an EWG onto it.
plus. headers don't really do much with the stock turbo. the oem headers do well under 400hp. and people usually do the uppipe when they do the headers.
i'm also really new to the wrx stuff.. so take what i say lightly.
