I was wondering about this too. Yeah, you could pay $350 to have it installed, but where's the fun in that?

You might have drivabiility issues because of your injectors. What size are you planning to use? STi pinks? If so, I think the car will idle and run well enough to get you there, but I'd stay off boost as much as possible. The motor won't really be happy until you get the flash.

yea sti pinks ... i was told by mpj performance that i should rev over 4g. ... aye why does gruppe-s have to be so far from my house >< i wish i lived across the street from em .. that'd be awsome.

Edit: Oh and also, i was thinking that i should get my CAI, and 50/50 BOV all together with the turbo kit and have them tune it in one session so my car dont run rich . sound good? or is it unnecessary.

XkrazyAsianX- save your money and don't bother w/ the CAI. Unless you're running a front mount, the stock airbox w/ a good panel filter is plenty good. As for the BOV, the stock unit is also adequate; changing either one will not help w/ the car running rich when un-tuned, Mike Ws expertise at Gruppe-S Tuning can help you out w/ that
