The HKS is the the last DP I'd put on a WRX. Wastegate gasses hit a flat plate. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. I guess you never looked into having Jorge tuning your car.

i agree with MO REX on the DP, personally i went with a helix DP. Its working great and for turbo just do whatever you like. Both turbos you mention are pretty good ^.^

There are many more affordable options than the HKS kit you posted, firstly you should work out what your intended use is for the car and where you want the powerband to be. If your into drag and freeway pulls then go big, if you like response you might get away with freeing up the flow and tuning on the stock unit.

Best thing would be to hook up with a local tuner/shop and get some advice or perhaps go out to a couple of local meets.

drag! no way to short and expensive for the 10 sec rush. im more looking for a 300+ whp daily driven track car to tear up the exotic's (few and far) and muscle cars(too many too plenty)around here. i also want to persue some light duty track time for pleasure.
