Choosing your engine size and options
Not sure which engine size? Here's a quick guide.
Engine Modifications (If any): Stock Vehicle, Intake, or Intake and Exhaust, to match what's on your vehicle now.
Tuned for: Performance for the full Stage 3 setup; MPG for a smoother, economy-focused setup if you mostly cruise.
Engine Size (common Subaru engines):
- 4 Cylinder: 2.0L / 2.5L boxer, 2.0L / 2.4L / 2.5L turbo (WRX, STI, Ascent, Forester XT)
- 6 Cylinder: 3.0L / 3.6L flat-6 (Outback, Legacy, Tribeca), 3.3L (SVX)
Then enter your make, model and year in the optional "Enter Make, Model, Year" box. Not sure? Contact us before ordering.
What to expect
- Quicker throttle response. Less of that dead spot when you roll into the pedal from a stop or to pass.
- More midrange pull. Merging, passing, climbing a grade with a load.
- Doesn't change your drive modes. Your factory drive modes stay as Subaru set them up.
- Realistic gains. It's a plug-in module, not a full ECU re-flash. Up to +40 HP / +45 lb-ft on turbocharged engines; non-turbo engines gain less. (Stage 1: +15 HP / +20 lb-ft; Stage 2: +25 HP / +30 lb-ft)
How it works
The module plugs into your OBD2 port and works alongside the factory engine computer. It's adaptive: it reads how you're driving, from throttle position to fuel demand, and adjusts its output to match. Easy cruising stays smooth; get on it or tow and it gives you more. Nothing inside the engine computer is rewritten. Each chip is programmed in house for the make, model and year you enter and the options you pick.
Install in about a minute
- Find the OBD2 port under the dash on the driver's side.
- Engine off, connect the module with the included plug-in cable (long enough for any vehicle).
- Turn the ignition on (or press Start) and start the engine. The PWR, LNK and DAT LEDs light up to confirm it's connected. Drive normally for a few trips while the module adapts.

Common Questions
Will it fit my Subaru?
If it has an OBD2 port (1996 and newer), yes: WRX, Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy and Ascent and more. Pick your Engine Size and enter your make, model and year when you order.
How much power will I actually get?
Up to +40 HP and +45 lb-ft on turbocharged engines. Naturally aspirated engines gain less. You'll feel it most as sharper throttle and stronger midrange.
What does "adaptive" mean?
It watches throttle position and fuel demand and adjusts. Light cruising stays smooth; hard acceleration and towing get the full Stage 3 output.
Not sure which engine size?
Here's a quick guide: the Engine Size list above shows common Subaru engines. Still unsure? Contact us before ordering.
Will the dealer know?
Unplug it before service and your Subaru is completely stock. Nothing stays behind in the engine computer.
Why does the module say JDM PROM?
JDM PROM is the brand name on the module and its retail box. Every unit is programmed in house for your specific Subaru make and model, assembled in the USA, and backed by our lifetime warranty and 30-day return window.

I have a 2013 Subaru Forester X Premium which is non turbo. I do a lot of city driving and sometimes have it loaded down a little with a trailer and 4 wheeler, or anything else. Daily driving is much more responsive on the low mid range. Wide open doesn't feel any different because you can only give your car so much gas with factory pump and injectors. But it changes everything it can on the low end to put the power in just the right places. I'm not sure about the MPG because of my driving but the throttle response and low end getup is noticeably better. I'll be getting one of these on any other vehicle I purchase.
Really think it helped iron out alot of hesitation. May even have helped when I am in traffic in low gear when it goes from first gear to second and back down again to first it likes to hop alittle seems to have smoothed out. Thx again can't wait for more mods for this motor
Seems to be getting as much out of the engine as possible. Hope the engine holds up under the strain.
I definitely have felt a difference on the throttle response, but I’m still early into the 2 week period of the chip learning the ecm.

Better gas mileage.. Did not notice an increase in horse power
Super quick/easy install. Installed on a 2013 Legacy Sport and actually had immediate results. There was a slight stumble off-idle that was taken care of as soon as the unit was installed. Overall response is improved.
I previously bought the stage 1 which provided excellent power and torque but there was a lag. Stage 3 is still in the two week learning phase but I can feel the increased power instantaneously without the lag of the stage 1. It is well worth the extra $100.00. I highly recommend going with stage 3 from the start which I eould do if I could get a “do over.”
very awesome chip. gave me the extra power that i needed and well worth the money! very easy to install and easily removable for inspection!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED HOW SIMPLE IT IS TO USE!!!!
pretty straight forward installation and love the wide variety of adjustments it offers. no wire splicing needed which was great!
installation was pretty easy, just had trouble figuring out which wires to tie into. Made a huge improvement and love the wide range of adjustments that could be made.
I drove a tank of gas pulling my RV, looks like a 10 percent increase in MPG for me. I did notice more power. It was the best MPG I had ever gotten with my truck while pulling my trailer. My trailer weighs almost 7k pounds fully loaded, near the capacity of my truck. Very happy about my purchase!
Great bang for the buck, and effortless install, had GMG Dyno the car showed increase of 7hp and 4 lbs tq great job guys!!!
Picked up this performance chip nearly 3 weeks ago, at first I was worried that this product would not work, but after having it for no less than a week I began to notice a difference in performance for the better. I know these chips can truly cost a fortune but I think this supplier has got this item right! also got LED's for the interior of my car.. still perfect, never gone out, never shimmered, and there a solid color. will do business again very soon
Arrived in 3 days which is pretty quick, and installed in 2 min just plugs in to my obd2 port. So far so good.
Installed this on my Honda Civic. All I can say wow. This thing does work. My car feels a lot faster and feels more powerful.
Instant increase in power and fuel economy
after 2 weeks i have between 2 to 3 mpg increase in fuel efficiency, a little more quickness in takeoff from stop !
FUNCIONA PARA EXPLORER SPÓRT TRAC 2008 MOTOR 8 CILIDROS,4.6 LITROS Y 3 VALVULAS POR PISTON O RECOMIENDAN AOTRO CHIP
Funciona muy bien se siente la deferencia en todo lo q buscaba, y solo llevo dos dia con el puesto, muy fasil de enstaler y desconectar se lo recomiendo a todos
It was easy to install, and within minutes I was back on the road.
It took a couple of seconds to plug in,just as it says,after about a week,my car had amazing performance increases,very pleased,takes off like a rocket,i can't wait to try it out at the local drag strip.its worth it.
