wow. . . best place to get STI Pinks are through the classifieds sections here on I-club. . .

- Food for thought:


Conduct a search before you ask questions. . .almost 98% of the time you will find your answer. but to help you out a bit. . .

You got your turbo, get your pinks, a fuel pump. . . up/down pipe. . . maybe a COBB AP and tuning. . .

hello again
thanks for the advice.. the thing is, this is my first time in any forums. i had gotten a downpipe, up-pipe, and exhaust. Then i just decided to go for a better turbo. Those fuel pumps are mad expensive hehe.. i also have a boost controller with the turbo. Now the thing is after the fuel pump what would be the next step. Should i also get a new clutch..? and how much boost would i be able to use with the injectors installed..?
sorry for asking too much..
tristan

I would recommend real engine management over a manual or electronic boost controller because those devices do not adjust ignition advance or fueling to compensate for different conditions and load on the engine. Currently the Cobb AccessPORT is popular.

I have a 2004 WRX and just a little info on a manuel boost controller, IT WONT WORK ON AN '04 !!! PERIOD. At least not without having any ecu work done. All I have is a COBB aior intake and a 3" pipe from the last cat and back.
