MOD recommendations - I want more everything!!!

I'm interested in what you experts out there think. I don't know diddly squat about this stuff but am rather interested in learning. So, what would you recommend?

In other news, did anyone throw down for the cobb stageII drive train package or have the clutch? I'm considering making the purchase and want to know what you guys think.

current mods:

cobb TBE
cobb sram/intake

on it's way:
cobb sports springs
cobb uppipe

So I like the brand... get off my back.

 

what car do you have?

 

Do you have the AP? I would recommend Cobb AccessPort...great upgrade and it's from Cobb. yay!!

 

Indeed I do have the ap...forgot to put that in there.

It's a 04 wrx wagon. not bad for groceries.

 

nice, sounds like its going good thus far. new struts, Legacy brakes or 4 pots maybe... nice sticky tires

 

i vote downpipe and rear sway bar or springs (maybe prodrive?)

 

custom tune

 

custom tune, bigger TMIC (good luck waiting for cobbs)

 

Anything beyond what you have powerwise you'll pretty much need a custom tune but the good news is you already have the AP. If you want to keep your stock turbo I'd look into an Ultimate Racing up-pipe/ewg kit(up-pipe is heat coated also..you can get these on nasioc for a very good price), bigger injectors, fuel pump, and bigger tmic. Those items should net you some great power. You can get a better clutch but I wouldn't spend the dough on it until you have to(stronger clutch = more wear on your tranny).

 

Any good recommendations for a tmic? I'm having to wait on the springs from cobb so the tmic ( if they are even selling it yet ) probly won't be around for 6 months.

 

^ if custom tune, can i still run the AP? or it will be a custom map in the AP ?

 

a custom AP tune isnt as easy as a custom openecu tune

 

^ ihave a HKS SSQV BOV...i kinda wanna put it back on ...but can AP tune for the BOV?

 

a bov isnt going to hurt anything

 

back on track... recommendations for a tmic? Will the sti tmic do the job?

 

BOV loses a little power , wont it ?

 

I'd get the big a$$ Spearco one that Discopope has.

 

^^^ yes its FTW! though it would be a bit large for your application, you wouldnt need to upgrade later!

 

yes agreed, but money saved in the long run ftw and less crap to do when you decide to add more power mods later.

 

or ebay tmic and get the same results for 1/5th the cost

 

is the 3bay core as big though? I've heard the Spearco is the biggest.

 

Spearco is a good option, or Icevex. ihaveawrx just put the icevex in on his car, and that thing is a monster.

as for the BOV question. the BOV isnt going to make you loose power. the only issue is that when you shift you will run rich since the boost which is normally getting recycled back into the intake is going elsewhere (atmosphere) it wont really hurt anything. it isnt the best thing ever but not the worst either. you will probably backfire more w/ the HKS bov on. a tune can help fix this issue, but i am not sure on the theory behind tuning for a bov so i wont go there. but in short i bet you can use the AP and a protune to make is safer to use a bov. look here: http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8892
