Im going to apologize up front for the newbie questions.
I have this 2011 WRX sitting in my driveway that Im already itching to play with a little. Im having trouble deciphering information on the large forums as most of it pertains to the older models.
It sounds like a stage 1 wrx would basically be one with something other than a factory tune, maybe a K&N drop-in. And a basic stage 2 for 09 and 10 would be a downpipe and TBE and a tune.
Im not ready to drop much money yet, its still new and I dont want to void the warranty. So my questions are, is going to stage 1 worth it or should I wait and just go to stage 2 in a year or so? Will stage 1 void the warranty or even be noticable? Im hoping to have Evergreen do any dealership work on the car, wish I could have bought it there but they couldn't get one for a few months.
Open source tuning or Access port? Does anyone in Maine work with either? I know for stage 2 I'll probably have to go to MA and get a custom tune.
Does anyone know yet if the 2011 models are much different than the 09s and 10s? Not sure what/if parts and information will be transferrable to what Ive got to work with.
Thanks and sorry for the long winded newbie post.
