What mod will give most hp gains
ive got a stock 03 wrx and about $700 to spend ... im trying to find out what will give me the most bang for my buck. I was looking at the hks carbon ti exaust or the accessport flashing tool from cobb. if anyone else has info on the hp gain from either of these two or any other suggestions the would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would say stage Subzero reflash from Vishnu and then work on an exhaust later.

I have seen in some situations in some altitudes where the cobb does not perform as well becuase they are at about 4,500 ft elevation, whereas vishnu is at sea level, but if you live up where the air is rare then a reflash from cobb would do it.
Research a lot of exhausts before you jump into them, I have gone through 2 and am finally happy with mine.

AccessPort is nice to be able to reflash different maps for future mods. EcuTek vendors will usually charge a fee unless complete staged kits are purchased from them (i.e. exhaust, turbo, etc.). Of course, if you live near a good tuner it's hard to beat a good custom dyno tune.

I just got back from CT over the Thanksgiving weekend and got to drive my buddy's 2003 Evo w/ a reflashed ECU and an after market turbo back exhaust. And now that I'm back in CA driving my stock 2004 WRX, I realize the significant difference in power delivery and rush that my friend's Evo delivers.
Anyway, because of this I'm starting to consider either Vishnu's Stage Sub-Zero or Stage Zero. The Sub-Zero basically consists of only a remapped ECU, while the Stage Zero adds a Main Power Pulley and 321 Up-Pipe kit. So the reason for my post is to ask if any of you out there has had any experience w/ either of these two stages. Basically I want a reasonable gain in power and torque without unreasonably compromising reliability. I know that any time you do these things there's always a risk on the reliability to some degree, but wanted to know if it's still a fairly safe gamble. Any input would be truly appreciated.
Thanks!

Something Custom

i hate to intrude on someone elses thread, but what will hold the same for me? i have a 94 Impreza L 2wd and i want to extract the most power from this letjargic block before i even consider a swap. what should i do? i already have a hyper ground system, and a custom 2.5" Blitz ehaust system. should i get a fuel computer along the lines of a Apex'i Super AFR/ larger injectors/port and polish, or should i do cams along with a GReddy E-manage? would pulleys work? should i get a borla header before all of this, or after? after all the airflow, should i step up to 3" piping?
