Question Stage 3 ready?

I'm trying to figure out if I can run a Stage 3 map?

Current Mods-
AMS Widemouth Downpipe
ETS intake
ETS straight pipe
Mishimomto UIP
Custom 3' straight pipes
Turbosmart BOV

Currently running Stage2+SF

Will be adding Grimmspeed EBC & Doing the ETS Map Configuration. I Hate how they say because it's not COBB parts, need a custom tune.

Thoughts input?

Yes. Cobb OTS stuff sucks. Put on whatever mods you want, from whatever brand you want, curb the COBB, and get a proper ECU flash tune.

^This Just install the boost controller, find a tuner in your area and get it tuned.

Cobb has different STAGE maps, depending on the amount of parts installed.

What if you have different parts installed? Sounds dicey. I'd get the car tuned properly. I promise you'll be like

It's that silly thing STI and SRT4 owners run around blurting out while pounding their chests like apes.

Now that I've read the post, I remember someone telling me this before. I don't see how you can lump modifying a car into stages. Everyone does it differently. It seems like an oversimplification and recipe for a dead car. I don't think I'd trust it. At all.

You want to know if MAYBE THIS COCKTAIL will work with XXX tune... The answer is MAYBE... Which means it is very risky.
Get a proper tune by a proper shop or e-tuner. Period.

That's how I see it. I wonder if that's why so many Subarus go *boom*.

So apparently, you have buy the ACCESS-TUNER program for $149.99 to be able to Modify the Cobb Maps. Wanted to Calibrate for my ETS intake on my Current Map.

EcuFlash works much better and is free. Hard to beat that.
The AP may have been okay to use before EcuFlash. It is better than nothing, I guess, for basic mods.
