hehe...... 18g, ebay topmount, streetuner, megan coilovers, helix v3 catless DP.
with the leftover change grab a COBB SS kit w/ bushings

dozer54321 · 12-07-2006, 06:07 AM

^ looks like a good plan to me

Sounds good but I'd go with a 20G since the OP has a 2.5L

AaronB · 12-07-2006, 09:27 AM

BOV and Intake FTW

What do with the car, any racing?

I would take a good portion of the money and upgrade brakes and tires.

Demok · 12-07-2006, 10:13 AM

you could go to forced air and get a stage 2

Turbo: Garrett GTR30 Turbo
Piping: An up pipe (2 1/4 inch) and down pipe (3 inch) including a 3 inch high flow catalytic converter section which includes 2 O2 sensor ports.
Manifold: The pressure side manifold from the Turbo to the intake manifold and the air intake manifold to the Turbo Charger.
Oil Lines: Oil supply lines to the Turbo and the Turbo oil return line. The passenger side valve cover is included on all the second generation 2.0 & 2.5 L engines for easy installation.
Fuel Pump: Walbro 255
BOV & Wastegate: A High Performance Tial Sport 38mm Wastegate and a High Performance Tial Sport BOV.
Intake: Cold Air K&N Filter
Price: $3999 <---installed

Big 16g or 18g
Tial 38mm EWG
cobb ap or a utec
water/meth inj
HKS Dp
Tmic or Fmic(i prefer Fmic)
Boost + Egt Gauge

That is a really fun street set-up, that you will be able to still enjoy in the heat of summer.

BrianH82 · 12-07-2006, 02:14 PM

Finish your exhaust + intake + walbro fuel pump + protune

Boost gauge is a must too

and a good suspension set up = Ohlin structs + RCE springs + front/back sway bars

most important of all, invest $$ in your driving skills

Come touge with me!! haha

bobturismo · 12-07-2006, 02:19 PM

trade in on a used STI?

Cobb dp, Cobb Accessport, streetuner or protune, wider wheels/tires, Cobb short shift/shift bushings, Cobb rear sway bar/endlinks. Don't blow it all at once, because you'll be bored with it too soon. Start by making the car better, overall.

racingfish · 12-07-2006, 04:41 PM

DP/AP/COILOVERS/tires/hooker/beer/and a partridge in a peartree

shemoves · 12-07-2006, 04:45 PM

I'd sell and get an '04 STi...seriously. PM me about it if you want.

Edit...but to actually answer your question, I'd go with a full stage 2, sway bars, coilovers, and some good brake pads.

true that he has a 2.5, but he doesnt have an sti 6-speed to support the power a 20g will put down.
