Thinking im gonna jsut do the TBE, for the first year, then do the uppipe and dyno tune later down the road?> That be okay?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I think you would be better off going stage II rather than a TBE without a tune. Another issue is that if you're driving an 05 you have a catted UP that can break apart and chew up your turbo. The King of Parts has some incredible service and they have a package sale on right now. For the price of a TBE (or less) you could get UP, DP, and AP. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79274 Looking at your plate I assume that you're in Canada. If you order from the King of Parts you can request that they ship your order USPS to save the $60.00 or so extra brokerage fee you would have to pay with UPS. Assume that's by far much better bank for the buck than paying the extra $$ for a catback added to your DP. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgray Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 i am fully aware of cat blow out, but that only occurs at higher boost level correct? which would be increased with the tune. Im staying away froms tage two immediately because 6 months later i will be bored with that and will have to go bigger...and this is jsut gonna be my daily driver. my main concern is will a full TBE make a stock tuned car run shitty? or have other driveability concerns?

You will get boost spikes, and possible engine damage. Get an AP, which can then be retuned if you every go with a larger turbo.

fonts Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I ordered the Autospeed CBE from Fast WRX (MachV Motorsports). Haven't received it yet so can't comment on fitment. After hearing sound clips I simply couldn't resist. Autospeed CBE was on sale for $650.00 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGT Dave Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Mach V still has the CBE listed for sale on their site, but the TBE is listed as discontinued: http://www.fastwrx.com/aucaandtuex.html. They have their own forum down in the Vendor Forums if you need to ask them anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonts Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 is there still some in stock? Just to clarify.... I ordered the catback from MachV and not the turboback. Haven't received it yet as was waiting on gaskets before they shipped out. Dan did confirm that he had my catback in his hands. Hopefully I will have in my hands in the next week or so after clearing customs, etc. I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnAWD Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Of course you can do an exhaust without a tune. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
