WRX Stage 1 Tune By MAPerformance | 2015-2021 Subaru WRX Accessport OTS MAP

I'd put off installing an AP, or any other power mods, for three years and 70k miles on my '18 WRX to stay on lady luck's side with my extended warranty. Decided to finally pull the trigger and after doing some research it was clear MAP's stage 1 tune was regarded as the best OTS options. Sweetens the deal even further that they include it for free when you buy your AP from them. My WRX is still stock, but WOW is all I could say after taking it for a drive on this tune. Everything everyone else has said is absolutely true, this is decidedly how the car should have been tuned from factory. I do feel like the car picked up a little power, but I wouldn't expect miracles in that department; having the AP sets you up nicely do some bolt-ons and a protune down the road if you need or want more power, though. The truly special part of this tune is it eliminates rev hang, smooths out the power cut at 5k RPM, and remaps the accelerator. The car goes from being jumpy off the line with inconsistent power delivery through the RPMs to smooth, easy to drive power that pulls all the way to redline with fast shifts. My technical knowledge of tuning and experience with performance driving is limited, but I imagine this is the difference between the car being quick and the car being fast. Even if you plan on staying stock, like I do for the time being, this tune really is the best bang for buck mod if you're after the best driving experience in your WRX.

I had their 91 map for a while but recently purchased the 93....woah wasn’t expecting that much of a difference. It feels way more top end happy and snappy off the line. Very happy

Disclaimer: I went to MAPerformance Stage 1 from MAP E30 tune. All I have to say is that the Stage 1 tune from MAPerformance is way better than the COBB Stage 1 tune. I’m also impressed by how my WRX drives still with no E85 in the tank. These guys really know what their doing if I went from a E30 to 91 tune and are still impressed. Damn, now I’m thinking of Bolt Ons and Yes I’ll be ordering from them.

While I am now on a Stage 2+ Protune, I ran MAPs OTS 91 Tune for over a year with no issues. For me, It ran smoother than Cobbs and had a little more power to boot. Don't expect any huge power gains over stock, but expect a much smoother and more linear power delivery. And say goodbye to that dip in power at 4.5 k rpm!!!! Highly recommended tune. THANKS MAP!

I've had my 2019 WRX since July 2020 and have been on the butt dyno since. I just picked up the Cobb AP from MAP today(Black Friday special) and drove around with the Cobb Stage 1 93 oct before trying the MAP Stage 1 93 oct tune(free with the purchase of a Cobb AP. All I have to say is, WOW!!!, what a huge difference. The MAPerformance OTS is way better than the Cobb's OTS and the power is definitely there along with the torque. Fast response on the throttle and the powerband is just way better overall. Makes me want to get the E30 tune now too. It is true as they were saying, the car should've came like this from the factory. Overall, I'm happy with the tune and I'm excited to drive the car as-is until I get a Pro-tune along with other more mods.
