i agree with this. if you haven't done any of these then do them now before adding more power. people get wrapped up in power mods they forget the other important items.

If you're not tuned, you're not stage 2 yet.

Nice catch, I hadn't seen that part! Safety aside, a tune will make a huge difference in the power and every aspect of driveability, from better mileage to quicker spool, a much broader powerband, etc...

I would get a new set of tires if you have not already.
Short shifter with bushings and front/rear strut bars would be a good idea as well.
Not really power mods but those will def be better than adding more power to your current mods.

^But he didnt ask what would "def be better", he asked for more powaarrrrrrr!!1!1 mods.

and honestly, front strut bar accomplishes very little, and the short shifter isnt necessary, and we have no current detail on his tire status, or his desired operation of his vehicle. If you are into AutoX, these modifications are possibilities, but regardless he's asking for powa!

I know what he is asking for....
What can he do with $400 to get more power when he already has EM,TBE, and intake?? Why add more power and not adress the other areas of the car? Anyways the OP can't really add anymore power with $400 considering his current mods. If WRX's still come with RE-92's and if thats on the OP's car than I'd still suggest better tires. Just trying to help

18g turbo imo with supporting mods (injectors, fuel pump, FMIC). You could run a TMIC obv but heat soak = teh sux. P,P&C manifold from Crucial, and you are good to go.
