I got a 2012 wrx and when im in 3rd gear or sometimes second(not really punching it) the engine feels like its jerking when the turbo is kicking in. I know they there is a normal hesitation when the turbo kicks in but this grabs my attention when it does it. It doesn't feel normal, am I just paranoid or could it be a problem?
Its Normal!! WRX's are known for feeling the Turbo lag..
It's normal. Specially on the stock tune.

Welcome to Subaru. Here is your shoddy paint, noisy transmission, and turbo lag. Have a nice day!

Oh okay lol, yeah I cant wait for stage 2 but Im probably going to wait till after the warranty expires, because I don't want to lose it.
Excellent decision. Stage II is well worth it when you're ready.Originally Posted by Colinz89

Do you have a boost gauge? Jerking is not normal. The off-boost on-boost transition should be relatively smooth.

I meant suggestions on a boost gauge lol
You mean brands? If so I would say defi. Although expensive, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Another is prosport. Some like it; some don't. It's a lot cheaper than defi though. Did this answer your question?

Personally I have a mechanical boost gauge. I don't believe it has to be very expensive. It reads boost and is accurate. That's all that concerns me. Others might disagree though. However boost is the only mechanical gauge I would ever use.
