If you can, upgrade the tranny first. In a WRX its the weakest link.

well a 6 speed is nice but really not needed unless you plan on putting more power or driving like a tool. if you want a 6 spd you probably should have bought an sti as you will be looking at a large hole in your wallet trying to put on in a wrx. in any case it's your ride and do what makes ya happy. personally i think you'd be better off doing a vf34, supporting mods, full suspension, and brakes.... that and you'll still have enough $ to eat

Sell the BOV, buy a downpipe and a tactrix cable.

Catless up pipe or gut your OEM up pipe. Dumping that pre turbo cat in bug eyes will probably see better gains than a DP. Doing both isn't particularly expensive either.
