Mods For $200
Ok I'm buying some things for my wrx but i need some help. I already bought a kartboy shifter and bushings and my dad is going to be ordering my cobb tuning catback in a few weeks. I now have $200 from christmas to buy something, but i dont know what to buy. I want stuff that will improve the cars performance (so please dont say BOV). Any suggestions?

Just as a side note, Scott are you saying you have to buy your friends?

$200 will get you a nice boost gauge. It's more for show for a stock car, but will come in handy if you plan on installing more stuff.
either a boost guage or an uppipe. a boost guage will come in handy. but an uppipe will give a tad quicker spool.
its up to you theres no way you can waste the money, unless you decide to get a bov.

Thanks for all the suggestions but i kind of wanted to get stuff that was easy to put on. Has anyone tried the turboxs short ram intake? How about buying intercooler hoses and a k&n?

Cusco or equivalent adjustable rear anti-sway bar, probably $150 to $170. You can get by with the stock end links for the time being. You will feel the difference in the car's handling after one or two corners.
