it's "question"
and "selling", "getting

Tuning an STi is a much better place to start. The 5spd tranny and weak internals with limited displacement will hold you back. If you want to make it faster, do some suspension work. The mods that have already been done will pretty much max out the stock turbo. Much bigger gains will be had from intercooler, injectors and a turbo.
