Subaru Impreza Performance Chip

Pass. Accessport or opensource have proven themselves to be reliable sources of computer tuning. Look into these areas if you are looking for inexpensive power. Any company can market those cheap chips. When it screws up your ECU, there's no way they'll stand behind their product like cobb would.

The chips will not work. Save your money and get an accessport or a protune like Chase said.

Yup, it's for civic owners. You drive a WRX

cobb is expensive thought

Eh, yes but it's the best bang for your buck you'll find. Opensource takes some more looking into, with that you just need the cable for your laptop (around $150). Or you can get a used version one AP for around $200, a used Version 2 for around $400 to $500. Well worth the money.

I agree with Chase about the AP. But maybe find a local tuner to talk to and see what they use or like also. If you ever go for a protune its best to have something the tuner is comfortable with or he either wont do it, or wont be tuned to the potential the car has.
