What upgrades are good for the STI that gain a good amount and free up the turbo? What is the stock boost at on the STI and if you were to up the boost what could it handle on a stock turbo? Thanks for repling the first time if u could help some more that would be great!
IMHO
If not I wouldn't worry about all that stuff right now. The darn car is lightning quick as is. To say the least it is alot of car to handle.

the sti for 05 has 1/2 inch wider wheels, different suspension and steering gear. so all the evo verses sti comparos are now void until the 05s can be tested again. power is not the issue get some seat time in the car before you go nuts with tuner stuff. remember its not what tuner pars you buy, but how well they teamup together. bolton the wrong combination of parts and you can make the car cornner worse and go slower.

as you can tell by my name I went from a honda si to the sti and I can tell you that I have not been able to wipe the smile off my face. You may miss the gas milage but you are going from a great car to a super car. I bet that the sti will get better gas mi. than most of the cars that can put up the same numbers. I know what you mean about all the mods. It took quite a lot to add to my si to make me happy. with the sti I have not felt the need for anything but tint for my windows. good luck
