Confidence in Motion—now with the power to match. Subaru built its reputation on the legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the distinct low-end rumble of the Boxer engine. Yet, whether you drive a rally-bred WRX, an adventurous Outback, or a capable Crosstrek, factory ECU tuning often restricts engine output to meet strict fuel economy standards. The GTE Stage 1 Performance Chip connects directly to your OBDII port to unlock the hidden potential of your Subaru, optimizing air/fuel ratios and timing for a drive that is as exciting as the destination.
Eliminate CVT Lag & Boost Response
Modern Subarus are famous for their capability, but the Lineartronic CVT transmission can sometimes feel sluggish off the line or hesitant to downshift when passing. Our advanced OBD-2 technology bridges the gap between your foot and the engine, virtually eliminating throttle lag. It provides the immediate response you need for merging onto highways or climbing mountain passes, all without sacrificing reliability. It is 100% Plug-n-Play and completely reversible.
Zero Cutting Required: Installs in under 5 minutes via the factory OBDII port.
Warranty Safe: Does not permanently overwrite your ECU or leave a digital footprint. Simply unplug it to return to stock settings instantly—perfect for leased vehicles.
Lifetime Warranty: We stand behind our quality with a full lifetime guarantee, ready for any adventure.
Proven Performance Gains
Get the most out of your Boxer engine, whether naturally aspirated or turbocharged. The GTE Stage 1 Chip delivers tangible improvements tailored for the Subaru lifestyle:
Increase Horsepower: Unlock up to +20 HP for confident overtaking and effortless highway cruising.
Boost Torque: Gain up to +19.1 ft·lbs of torque—critical for fully loaded Foresters and Ascents tackling steep grades.
Sharpen Throttle Response: Improve pedal sensitivity by up to 50%, fixing the "rubber band" feeling often associated with CVTs.
Faster Acceleration: Achieve quicker 0-60 times and more responsive mid-range power.
Maximize Fuel Economy: Optimize engine efficiency to gain up to +4 MPG, helping you explore further on every tank.
Tailored for the Subaru Lineup
This upgrade is engineered to enhance the specific characteristics of your model:
WRX & STI: Sharpens boost onset and throttle response for a true rally-car feel on the street.
Outback & Forester: Provides the extra grunt needed for towing trailers, carrying roof boxes, and off-road crawling.
Crosstrek & Impreza: Wakes up the 2.0L and 2.5L engines, adding much-needed pep for city driving and merging.
Ascent: Optimizes the torque curve for smoother hauling with a full cabin.
Legacy: Enhances cruising comfort with smoother idle and effortless passing power.
Installs in Under 5 Minutes
No mechanic or special tools required. Simply locate the OBDII port (usually under the driver's side dashboard), plug in the GTE module, and you are ready to drive. It is the smartest, most cost-effective way to upgrade your Subaru instantly.
Unleash the full potential of your Boxer engine. Backed by a 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Stage 1 Performance Chip for Subaru - Boost HP & Torque | OBD2 Plug & Play Module
Well I have been using for a month now and have put over 1K miles both highway and city driving.
I see no change at all. SO that means 1 of
3 things. Either this is a bum chip (Dead on Arrival), OR The chip just does not do as claimed, OR my car was already tuned so well from factory that it could not find anything to adjust.
So from my view point I would save your money.
