    I have an 06 WRX and wanted to stick a VF39 and STI intercooler in my car is there anything i need to replace or do in order to make that happen? I want to run the accesport map with this and later get it tunned

    Yeah you'll just have to buy the accessport and iirc you won't need injector's on an 06 because they should flow enough for a vf39. But just adding these won't make your car the same as an sti. They have different pistons and I believe slightly different heads.

    Thanks! I already have an accessport and I wanted to go only that far without having to rip out the internals. so i dont have to change the injectors what about uppipe the turbo inlet and oil lines?

    The uppipe is already catless pretty much an sti uppipe. Don't need to upgrade. Oil lines will all line up as well.

    don't forget the 6spd!!

    but for that, you might as well just trade in your WRX for an STi ;)

    yeah pretty much. and don't forget a good tuner from your friendly neighborhood tuner! a good tune is always a good buy!


    strayen (Russell) on the boards has pretty much the same setup you're talking about i believe.
