    Well I finally went and did it, spent a whole months pay on my car.

    I got a decent upgrade from what I had already on my 2004 STi:

    GT Spec-II Headers w/ up-pipe
    Turbo Xs down-pipe
    HKS Carbon-TI Catback w/race pipe adapter (no cats)
    Tenabe springs
    front tower strut brace
    no tune though...

    Now what I just added and made my car go very, very fast with the help of Scott at Subaru of Gwinnet in Atlanta (THANKS A TON BUDDY!)

    20g Turbo
    INJEN cold air intake
    PE 850 injectors
    Big fuel pump
    Huge front sway brace
    Rear Sway Brace
    ECU-Tek reflash w/tune
    HAWK brakes (cuz the STi ones shed too damned much).

    I may end up going back for a front mount but I wanted to save some cash for house payment (I could live in my car right now I am so happy).

    :bowdown: Thanks a ton to Will and Scott for putting up with my sarcasim all day long, they did a wonderful job on my Subie and it really, really goes now :eek:hnoes: . I was surprised how much power we got out of it w/o a new TMIC/FMIC. We will get to that later.

    Scott guessed on HP but I will wait to post actual numbers when he dynos it. I didn't have time because I had a drive home.

    Next is to clear my headlights and install JDM foglights then maybe a FMIC.

    Congrats on the tune! Are you looking at 340ish ?

    I would say yes to about 340, but that is probably on the conservative side. Scott thinks it is more like 360ish but I don't want to make any proclamations until I dyno it :)

    Hope to get it dyno tested in a week or so, just wish I wasn't busy on dyno days or I would do it then.

    i would strongly recommend methanol injection over a front mount... u should end up making more power with meth and top mount than no meth and frront mount

    That's what he is trying to get me into. I need to wait a bit and see what the long term money situation looks like then I might get it...only problem is I gotta make sure that I can even buy Meth in Korea...that's where I am moving to in May and my car is going with me.
