Ok, need some help on mod decisions...
Hey guys,
You all know me....I ask questions about stuff, then ask them again, and still i ask more questions before I spend my money....so I need some help from here... I've been going back and forth about which route I should go with first....Here's my options: UTEC - $1000 - +35whp GTSpec V2 headers + uppipe, Perrin catless DP, JIC 505Ti catback - $1900 - ~+50whp Any other suggestions?!? My current mods are listed here: Clear Signal Lights HKS Type 1 Turbo Timer Turbo Timer Harness Ociari Wing painted/installed Ociari 3rd Brake eliminator STi Group N HD Tranny Mount Kartboy Shifter Bushings HKS SSQV BOV Perrin Shortram Intake STi Group N HD Engine Mounts Sylvania SilverStar Headlight Bulbs Hella YellowStar Fog Bulbs Hella Supertone horns Cusco Front Sway Bar Cusco Rear Sway Bar Cusco V2 Brace Bar Defi Gauge Pod LT A-Pillar Defi BF Gauges (6) Tint Perrin Rear Endlinks GFB Pulley Set Whiteline Subframe Lock Kit Sti Group N HD Pitch Mount Kuhmo MX 225/50R16 Fenderwell Blocking Plate Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar Thanks guys!! ~sf~

That's a tough one. Both suggestions are great.
I got my turboback first, then the UTEC. Either way both will complement each other, you could add the UTEC later and use stage2 after the exhaust. The UTEC would be cheaper, easier to install and very stealthy. You could also pull it out easily for "warantee related issues" that would not be the case with the other option. It is also something that can adapt to any mod you do later on, stage 2, 3, 4.... 23, ect. So, in short, I have no opinion, sorry for wasting your time. Either way you can't loose. Steve.. |

MRT turbo-back + uppipe ~ $1350 (30hp)
Next, AccessECU reflash ~ $400 This combo alone will net you about 300hp. Also there is an Access port coming late next month which will allow YOU to do the reflash. You can also tune the car with the reflash as you add other mods (just like a UTEC, but cheaper and stealthier) |

To add up hp figures based on parts... It to count your chickens before they hatch.
Its a very good way to impress your friends tho. ~v6 |

hmm, i'm actually looking to talk to the guys as massimo performance (thewrxstore.com), and seeing if I can get a stage 2 package price using one of their DP's and the JIC 505 Ti. Maybe a total package of like $2200, and have the UTEC come tuned for Stage 2. Then all I'd have to do would be to tweak the map for my intake and the pulleys, and I'd probably have some serious hp...
