SO in January im getting a Vf-39, one of the Ebay special TMIC and so 06 injectors and ill be on my way back to SOG to get tuned. Im debating if i should go ahead and get an intake as well? So far my mods are Sti block 2.5 RS head gaskets Catless uppipe catless bellmouth downpipe and 3inchs all the way back Gruppe-S header Perrin I/C hose kit Im thinking after I add the Vf-39, injecotrs and TMIC the car should be alot better, right now kinda sucks cause at about 5500 its done. Not really worried about numbers just want it more fun. But do you feel I should add the intake, I know where I can get one somewhat cheep.
I have read that even on a stage 2 sti the intake can sometimes pull vacuum to the point that it can make silicon inlet hoses clamp shut. After market larger filter short rams don't seem to have the same problem. I say go for it and build yourself a cold air box around it.
