What should I do?
Okay well I guess I'm going to get the APS SR55 Turbo and APS DR 725 FMIC. What else do I need to look at getting? I am running the Cobb Access Port right now, so I guess I'll need a new type of ECU management since Cobb seems like they are never comming out with their Vaporware Street Tunning Software. Should I get the Hydra? Do I need bigger injectors? What needs to be done to my engine so the car runs safely with the 30 PSI of boost that will be comming from this turbo? Is that even possible. Well Thanks for your help.
injectors, fuel pump, wb02 sensor, egt gauage, and i would go either utec or hydra but from what i heard from jon is that the accesstuner should be out soon.

I did a quick search. Right now, I can only personally endorse the UTEC, but they've finally come out with the user tunable ECUTEK. I'm telling you that that will be smoking. The amount of visibility that the DD gives you is unmatchable. For instance, I ended up spending $1k for the UTEC (OCT 03 or so), somewhere around $600 for the TUNA, and $330 or so for the Delta Dash. Wow.
It'd be so much better to be able to have one tool that allows you to be able to monitor everything you want to...EGT, AFR, boost, ignition advance multiplier, all operating temps (coolant, oil), fuel learning, injector duty cycle, timing.
With those 3 tools that I have, overlapping ability to do all of that, but it would be so much easier to do it with one. (Ask Richard sometime about the 3 person video camera tuning technique.
)
Along with that, though, the Hydra looks to be the SHIZA, but $1500 is something that's hard to swallow.

keirnna, dude are you sure you wanna do all that??? You do understand that your stock clutch has to go when you upgrade to that much HORSEPOWER, I dont think its designed to handle it!!! Besides, how much $$$$$ are you planning to spend? Also dont forget to install a rollcage if you happen to break into the 11's! Do some research first before ordering new stuff, cause you might need other stuff as well!

Also dont forget...the stock STi block and internals according to most tuners, is not recommended to handle more than 450+ HP, you would need to upgrade the pistons, rods etc....Hmmm lets see, to run an APS SR55 turbo, you need to upgrade...injectors, engine management, clutch, pistons, rods, plugs, and a few other miscellaneous stuff! Hope you got the cash to burn!!!
