New 2007 WRX Owner
Hey guys just picked up an 07 WRX TR on last Friday. I'm already in love with my new car. I plan on upgrading a lot. Currently its all stock besides some 17" wheels, some tint, and a sound system. A goal would be to reach 300hp, what are the upgrades I should consider in order to hit 300 horpower at like 5500rpms? Make sure to be specific if you could. This is the first sports carnival ever owned. Knew I'd need to join a forum and talk with people to maximize my driving experience with this car.

Great looking car! Get a full exhaust (TBE) and a Cobb Accessport and flash to the stage2 setting. That alone will turn your car into a different beast,while still being relatively safe!

Is there any way to have a medium sized sound? And I'd prefer a stockish looking canister with a little style to it. Sorry I'm really new to "the car" game guys. Formerly a lifted 4x4 guy. These wrx's are so fast.

This is what I'm going to try and do. Thank you. When would I add like a bov? Or larger inter cooler?

Thanks a lot guys. This has helped so much. May I ask one more question... Like I said. Most of my car is completely stock, I want the motor to last me a while. Currently at 73k miles, what rpms should I keep it under in order to keep it running strong? Totally noob question sorry.

do you want longevity of the motor/car? or performance? obviously keeping the rpms under 5k tthe hole life the car will probebly last longer than if you hit 7k everyday.
