TBE is downpipe+catback. And from what I've heard u should port wastegate on the STI if adding a TBE.

Usually, though not 100% of the time, the boost cut problem stems from putting catless TBEs on the older '04s with the P17 exhaust housing. It can still happen if you have a cat, or if you have the larger P18 housing (which effectively means your VF39 is a VF34) but it's much less likely. I would verify that you have a P17 before jumping to get your wastegate ported.

and for those with any confusion TBE stands for Turbo Back Exhaust. Also the stock STI up-pipe is already catless so there is little benefit to running an aftermarket up-pipe
