Utec

i finally saved about $1,200, and im ready to do my first set of mods. I want to either get a UTEC and short shifter, or a set of gauges(EGT, A/F, and oil temp) a turbo timer, and a short shifter. What choice would be better? thanks

Do you have a boost gauge? That would be what I recommend for purchase #1. Then exhaust, turboback and uppipe. Then UTEC with EGT gauge.

go with the u-tec stage one cause its 30 or so wheel hp and you can tune the chip while you upgrade other parts of your car. Oh if you can afford it go with the sti short shifter from the factory because it comes with the linkage unlike the aftermarket ones. goodluck with your mods

A TurboXS stealthback, an uppipe, and gauges will also give you some 20-30HP(the pipes not the gauges) and much more driveabiliy then just a UTEC alone.

I plan on getting a turbo kit from Flat 4 engineering.com and wondering what the ECU setup on older modles like m,ine are.. I'm used to having to help friends w/ Hondas/Acuras and some toyotas some I'm trying to learn if I should get this upgrade if available...
