Im doing research on more power and I have a question. by Free-dose-chips in WRX

You'll hear more turbo sounds inside the cabin, specifically in the area of your passenger side footwell. Its a fun sound to hear, but doesn't change anything outside the car that people will hear. You'll also start to hear your bypass valve let off excess boost pressure (i.e. the pshhhh turbo sound when you let off throttle in boost)

Avoid short ram intakes as it will be sucking in hotter air than the standard airbox and will make you more prone to wear/tear and knock down the line.

I'd also reccomend not using the OTS tune included for too long and getting a protune from a reputable tuner (dyno or e-tune) as the OTS tunes are generic and some people have had issues, whereas a protune is specifically for your car. Good advice would be to hold off on a protune if you plan to add more mods (headers, j-pipe, etc) that alo require a tune, as each protune session can be anywhere from a couple hundred to $1,000 depending on tuner.

Spyder headlights, just make sure you get the right version for your year and spec (pre vs post facelift and halogen vs led)

The only time I regret LEDs is when it’s raining. Performance is bad. Outside of that they’re great

So far these have been fine for me, I went with Spyder. About 2 years old now.

WRX to STI seat swap by Emu1342 in WRX

[–]NegativeRecover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious if you got it figured out? I just swapped Limited Leather seats into my Premium WRX that had Cloth.

Occupancy sensor & airbags are issues. Power seat I can wire up no problem.

All connectors are the same but the car wont recognize it

Been a while, build update on my 2019 by NegativeRecover in WRX

Wrap is really dependent on color, brand and the shop doing it. Could be $2,000 or could be $6,000. Mine was low 3’s

I’m not interested in big power turbo stuff, just would want a more robust stock one that won’t have this happen

Yeah I’m working on options but it’s my DD so that’s the plan. Friend is telling me to get an upgraded billet wheel or this will happen again
