I'm SKEEEERED!!!!
I am hearing a lot of horror stories out there about people blowing their engines with similar mods to mine. And my question is...how realistic are my fears. I currently have catless down and midpipes, accessECU, sti perf. exhaust, for engine mods. and other handling mods which i'm not too worried about.
so...what do YOU all think?

I am running the same setup and I have read that this is fairly reliable. I wouldn't be to worried unless you are running an additional boost controller and are pushing it above what is reccommended from cobb.
Sounds safe as long as you are running the right octane.

oOoOoOo....STI short block good call...I doubt your engine will blow up....very rare with the set up you got, it gets more intense when you get a bigger turbo and injectors but your running stock so your fine..
