Just recently had a new deck, sub and amps installed into my Stagea by someone recommended by the shop. I used Install All in Wangara and was very impressed.

Received really good service and advice and the quality was excellent.

Also installed new alarm system with extra features that were a surprise.

Would recommend him to anyone.

He hadn't seen a Stagea before so with the help of some posts on here he worked it out for the wiring, etc.

He was most impressed with the quality of the Stagea (particularly the wiring) and so much so, he wants to buy one for his wife to replace the Impreza.

I told the owner, Marty that I would post something on the forum (which I put him onto) about the experience, so here it is.

His contact details are:

Cheers Al

Thanks for the info Al. If I didn't live in North Bunbury I would probably give him a go based on your rap, but it would mean at least a cut lunch and a waterbag to get there for me :D

I've done a stereo install in 3 cars now, and I can say it's so much easier when you pay someone to do it. Knowing they're a decent installer helps people know where to go. I'll always do the hard bits myself, but sometimes I get little problem, and I always take it somewhere who knows as they can probably fix it much easier than me.

I've had the opposite experience - the once I used an installer (years ago) it took me more time to get it going properly afterwards than if I'd just done it from scratch myself.

It really is an easy job to do yourself, then you know exactly how it is setup, and exactly what to do if you want to change anything...

Whilst for some it is easy to do an install for others they either don't want to or would prefer someone else to do it. Changing head units is something I have done myself but installing amps and subs not done that plus I had full alarm system installed that I wasn't going to tackle.

Guess if you want to do it yourself, do so otherwise pay for someone to do it for you.

Cheers, Al

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
