The GTI will stomp the WRX. Stock 2002 WRX is rated at 224 hp.

thats a funny one...if it were an 05+ sti i could see you asking that question....a full bolt on 02 wrx would have a tough time hanging with a stock gti

A full bolt on 02 wrx would smoke a stock gti. a stage 1 gti would be even. and a stage 2 gti would pull. a full bolt on wrx is intake TBE tune......

a tune is not a bolt on.

with those cars, the tune is required with bolt ons, so its pretty much given that a WRX or STI with bolts on has some sort of tune on it

i was exaggerating...power wise full bolt on bugeyes are around 230-250whp/tq with is pretty close to stage 1....they are actually my favorite body style for a wrx, but definitely not fast
thanks for the sig!

It's suggested, but not required. The person I quoted was describing a stage, in this case, stage 2 with full bolt on. A Tune is still not what I'd consider a bolt on.
A downpipe on our motors would suggest you are stage 2. Some run the pipe without a tune at all, which in all seriousness boggles my mind, but it's definitely capable of running without a tune.

^subarus run like shit if you change anything which is why they actually need a tune

Not with the subie crew, tunning bolt ons screws with the stock tune enough to cause MAJOR issues sometimes. from funky MAF readings causing the car to run WAY lean, to DPs causing major boost creep if not controlled
