get a bigger turbo along with fmic, injectors, fuel pump (which are the common supportive mods for a larger turbo) as well as getting a TBE and swapping the stock up-pipe with a catless one. ALong with all that I'd suggest getting a custom tune.

Also you might want to look at stronger and lighter weight engine internals and probably RA gears depending on exactly how much faster you want to be.

The main question is, are you looking to be faster than a stock sti or a slightly modded one?

Do not take my word for it, but I am pretty sure the 06 WRX injectors flow close to the same amount that the STi injectors do. I don't think you'd haveto swap them out. The stock uppipe in the 06 is catless, also. The 06 trannys are supposed to be much better than the earlier ones so I don't think if RA gears are neccessary.
