2007 STi (Planned Mod List)
After over a month of research, forum scrounging, miss-topic'ed posts, post whoring, FTW's, FTL's, 1 warning, and over 400 posts over 3 forums...
Heres a list of mods I plan to do over time once I get my STi and broken it in.

I don't have a boost controller...?
This is gonna be my semi daily driver.
I'll have a POS beater to take to work, shopping, shady and dangerous areas.
Everywhere else I'll be driving the STi.

Yea, you have a boost GAUGE, but not a controller. I reread your list to make sure I didn't read that wrong. So the STi is basically your "when I feel like having fun" and "weekend warrior" vehicle?

The stock STI UP is catless, so there isn't much of a gains when moving to an aftermarket pipe. That being said, the stock UP has a tendency to crack under prolonged extreme usage, so if this sounds like you, upgrading to a nice UP isn't a bad idea.

EQ Tuning or GST Motorsports??? I hear great things about both...
Hey, as long as there ARE gains, even low as 1hp and 10torque on a after market up pipe, I down.

3-5 Is MUCH better than 0
Any estimate on the Torque gains?

- Remove Spare Tire & Jack (-50PDS???)
The jack prob around 8lbs, and i dont think that spare tire is 40+lbs.
Hallow sway bars are bigger and weigh about the same as stock (dont forget the metal endlinks too).
