Word. VF34 packages (turbo,pump,injectors) are fairly cheap these days, atleast compared to other setups.
Scooby noob mistakes to avoid assuming he isn't planning a turbo upgrade in the near future:
1. A BOV.........nuff said
2. A FMIC (Though cool, with stock turbo its not worth the cost-to-hp ratio. Many believe it adds lag and hurts performance)
3. Aftermarket uppipe for 06-07 models (The stock uppipe is catless and doesn't restrict flow enough to justify replacement. 05 and below are a different story)
4. Cold Air Intake (Not needed and without a tune will more then likely result in loss of hp. The stock airbox is just fine, though a high-flow panel filter (K&N) doesn't hurt)
5. AWD launching after every red light. (It can be costly and Subaru dealers love the phase "Warranty denied for driver abuse!")
6. Using the handbrake to "drift" (Not sure if 06-07 are different but pulling the E-brake to slide around in snow will destroy your vicious coupling. Others correct me if this doesn't apply to 06-07 WRX, I know it does for the 02 model :P )
7. Vinyl HP stickers (Despite popular belief, stickers/decals from companies such as APS and Cobb do not add hp)
