The 03 wrx's turbo is starting to show signs of dying, So since it needs to be replaced might as well weigh out the options of upgrading right!?!

What I need from all you gearheds is a list of whats needed to go Stage 3. isn't it STI Injectors, 255LPH fuel pump and a vf39? Im probably wrong so please chime in, It has a cobb accesport for the re-flash. Im not toooo smart when it comes to this so help me out!! thanks

 
1st question for this situation is, "does your Dad want a daily driver, or a daily tuner?"

stage 3 is verging on the latter. YMMV.

 
650cc injectors, pump, vf39 , bigger tmic/fmic, turboback exhaust, up pipe, tune. Im sure Gabe knows more.

 
the most reliable way would be vf39/sti tmic/sti injectors/sti fuel pump.

if i was your dad i'd probably just pick up another td04 and call it a day. once you start pumping more power through the ej20 you're commited. you'd want a better clutch. you'd worry about your rings. you'd worry about your tranny. the better money would be on replacing the td04 then thinking about a shiny new trade in. perhaps 06-07? maybe 04-05 sti?

 
Stage 3 would be awesome.... But there is something to be said about picking up a "dime-a-dozen" stock TD04, and getting her back on the road. turbo upgrades can be trying, and take much patience. Believe me, its NEVER as easy as it seems.

 
yeah we talked about the fix-trade in option as well, for an 04-05 sti or wrx, he likes those years better

 
ahem...perhaps a better question here would be, "is it Ray's dad who wants the upgrades, or is it Ray who wants the upgrades?"

j/k, gots to pull your chain somehow

one thing for certain...stage 3 will guarantee permanent CEL being lit (which only goes to prove it's a modded Subie)

 
Ive ALMOST pulled the triger many times going for stage 3....By the time im done researching ,looking into parts,them more research i gets scared off .Ive seen way to many times when just crossing the line over simple stage 2 sends you down a path not worth traveling...Big bucks too.... have fun dreaming wzrd

Just swap the turbo for a used tdo4. If you need to upgrade your money is better spent on a newer car. Wrx,sti etc
