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.

why the boost controler if you are getting the accessport?

 

is this gonna be your dd? track car?

 

I think the best spot for a project thread is here. https://www.i-club.com/forums/a-115/

Keep us posted!

 

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 up pipe isn't really necessary

 

Yeah, its my fun/weekend car, my beater is gonna be a POS 93 Camry, so thats nothing on the pocket books.

Why isn't the up pipe necessary?
