2 yrs ago I got a 2014 WRX Hatch with 80K. I recently decided to start tuning it with an intake. I went with the COBB SF and box. Installed it myself - not too bad, even for a semi- mechanical guy.
I thought that was all I needed for now - like when I added a SPT intake to my 2005 REX (and exhaust - but no tune). The more I researched online I realized that I can't run the new intake without a tune. I went with the COBB Accessport.
Both shipped in a few days and while waiting for the Accessport, I drove her pretty conservatively.
I didn't have a choice - I punched it once and the engine choked on all the air.
Now I have both on board, and my car Sucks!... Literally.
And I thought she was fast before.
Listening to the turbo spool up (fast or slow) is addicting, and gives you that fisceral feedback that puts you in tune with what the engine is doing.
Botrom Line:
If you have a WRX, get an Intake and Tune.
The COBB stuff is great!
Save some $ and time and get both (Power Package). You have to.
Thanks Subimods!
