suggestions on ej20t
I just bought my 02' WRX a few weeks ago and so now I am starting to plan on what to upgrade with and in what order...
bare in mind I'm not going for super permormance more a long the lines of "faster then most"
this is how I wanted to go about my mods
1.air flow system (in this order)-BOV, tbe, up, intake, ic hoses (or FMIC if I can ever get the $$$),header, Turbo
2. engine components- I have no clue what needs to go and what is good enough to stay??
I was thinking about a 25 shot NOS system (I'm not all that sure about this one)
any suggestions as to these plans? or any suggestions on specific parts for these plans would be great Thanks.

Forget the BOV its just a noise maker and most make the idle very rough. Go with a full exhuast and an upgraded engine map like Cobb stage 2 then you will see good gains.
I think if your looking for moderate gains this would be enough plus i wouldn't go too far with a tranny as weak as the 02's
If you consider more power find yourself a STI tranny before pumping the car beyond the 300hp range.

thanks for the advice =)
I've never been a big enthousiast (sp) for NOS. I was just thinking it might be an easy power gain... I've herd about the week tranny in the 02' a friend of mine was running about 310bhp on a stock 02' tranny and he blew out 2nd gear twice... I figured it was because he was a crappy drivier dumping the clutch all the time but i guess not.
I was thinking about a recirculating BOV... Does an aftermarket BOV add any performance or have a benefit over the stock one?
and which or do any Sti Tranny's bolt into the stock clutch or should you swap that out at the same time?

By the time you bolt on a sti tranny you will be replacing your rear differential gear becuase its a 3.90 not a stock wrx ratio (which i'm forgetting atm). And while your at it you should have invested in a better clutch and possibly flywheel. These trannys aren't cheap.
The BOV has no perfomance gains but if you Really must have the chirp soun some people crave i'll sugguest a 50/50 bov. Otherwise just don't bother.
The only other solution to the transmission problem is a stronger gearset which costs nearly as much as a transmission. Especially when you get them installed

I would start with some wheels and tires. Some rotas and some decent tires (costs around $1000 . THat was one of the first mods i would recomend to anyone. Helps out handling a lot. Then i would do with the up pipe and turboback exhaust (I recomend helix, great price and quality) to get started for power mods. If you feel that you need more power after that then get your ecu tuned. I recomend either Ecutek or cobb. That tune with the exhaust is good for 50whp which should feel really nice.

I luv the sound of BOV =) probally too many hours spent playing gran turismo (1,2 and 3) =)
I was reading up on the stonger gearsets which sounded like the best option for the tranny.. I've got some good mechanics in my pocket that could/hopefully be able to do it right. But thats if I could ever afford the package itself
I really like the stock wheels (I painted them gunmetal and it looks really good with my red/burgundy paint) I like the rota's that look like the stock split 5 spokes.
I don't think the tires have ever been changed on my car (i bought it with 36K miles on it) so it's about time if not past to get some better tires.
I'm gonna try and sell my stereo from my last car so I can get some $$$ for performance parts =) If I can ever find a buyer

The link I posted also tells you what you need to do to go with the 6 MT.
