The first thing I did with my used 9 month old Outback XT was blow up the turbo. After that I went ahead and blew up the short block and took the cylinder heads and cams along with it. The fourth thing I did was to understand that this little $.05 banjo filter was clogged and could have saved me $10k had I know about it in the first place. Can't wait for my next mod.

I would never trust an access port for the simple reason: they are a good base tune - but is different to having someone look at exactly what your afr's are doing / knock detection and tuning. Every engine is different. Personally the mods I'd do: 1. Upgrade front and rear sway bars 2. Antilift kit 3. Upgrade to performance street tyres (semis if your riskay) 4. Coilovers 5. Alignment 6. Better STREET pads and rotors. 7. Exhaust 3" turboback 8. Bucket seats with high leg boulstering (non subaru) And learn to use every ounce of hp the engines got in the corners before messing with a engine that is sensitive.

Agreed, as I mentioned in the video a pro tune is the best option. My car is tuned by Cobb Surgeline and I won't use one of the off the shelf maps. Love your recommended list of mods though.

The only thing you should be doing to the car is oil movement and collection mods so you don’t spin bearings by starving the engine of oil. (Killer B products) Especially before you mod and pro tune, make the engine as bullet proof as possible. Then brakes and a good tire compound. Finally after that get into power mods but reliability and engine longevity diminishes after any modding no matter the driver skill. But love the channel and the rare LGT👍🏻

Absolutely, if I could start over I would do this prior to the mods or at least when I went to the VF52 and upgraded fuel system.

I got my outback xt/legacy gt wagon used with a bad motor. The first set of mods i did was replace the the block with one that can handle up to 650bhp horsepower, that is like 400whp. The second mod was the tgb deletes. Thrid mods was the cobb 3 inch downpipe. 4th was the cobb access port. 4th mod and i recommend this mod on all automatics is a transmission cooler. 5th mod is upgraded the injectors to 720cc injectors. 6th mod is a professional dyno tuner. Lucily my mechanic had this same car as mine so he knows what works and what does not. My next mod probabily will be to rebuilt the tranny to handle 400whp. After that i am planing on twin turbos.

Jaden M got it, unfortunately Cobb only makes an accessport for the GT. Tuning options and performance parts are very limited for the 2.5i, you’re pretty much only able to modify suspension/handling components and aesthetics. I actually had a 2006 2.5i wagon before the GT.

@@avengednick I just bought a 07 2.5i wagon, is the exhaust upgradable? All i see is for sedans.

It is upgradable, but very few companies produced a wagon specific figment due to the small production numbers. I think the only company still producing a wagon option is Nameless Performance.

Nice, that's a solid mod list!

This video is more like how to mod every car... start with breaking/suspension/handling mods. Move on to power

fucking sucks cobb doesn't make an access port for Australian liberty's 😩

This guy is talking like every Subaru is a Legacy.

TheBigDanois we modified the 2011 WRX pretty similarly at first and that thing rips. I’d say it applies to more than just legacy’s

I’ve done many similar mods to my BRZ, it’s a pretty good list

Sadly the cobb can't use on a JDM engine...

First thing anyone with a turbo Subaru should do is start a clock and see how long it takes to blow up, or consume massive amounts of oil lol

Why would you waste money on a blow off valve when it will do literally nothing different than the stock one besides make noise..? 😂 he said ESSENTIAL mods; not bullshit ones cause you apparently want to make noise more than have actual gains. But ooook pal

1st mod for the wagon is to turn it into a sedan.

wheels are not essential...its just your personal preferences ...I personally love almost all the stock wrx sti wheels that have ever come out. Would have thumbs up if you didn't add "essential" to your title...probably would have subscribe too, feel like most of your video will be click bate and waste of my time.

I think if you ask most Subaru owners, including WRX/STI owners prior to 2011 (with the exception of 04-07 STI’s) they’d say the stock wheels leave a lot to be desired. Yes it’s preference, but a majority of owners I’ve talked to agree. Also, as I mentioned in the video the new wheels allow for wider tires than stock for added grip to match the additional power of a new tune. That being said, for that reason I'd consider them essential but to each their own. I’d encourage you to check out some of our other videos, click bait titles are a huge pet peeve of mine, and I try to make sure the title matches the video.
