S4toSTI · 08-01-2005, 10:14 PM

Ok in about a month i may be looking to put some money into my car lets try to help me spend it. I may be looking for a bigger turbo but not too far. I will probably be doing suspension stuff and a extra set of wheels and tires but why don't i let you spend my money for me. Lets not include install since i am sure some of the memebers on ehre will be willing to lend a hand with the promise of a nice long drive for them in it with me as a passenger. Right now all i have is the cobb tbe a acessport a k&n flter and a silencer delete thats it. So spend away.
3,000 budget.

set it up for some rallying, cage, skid plates, suspension etc...You won't get tired of it in the dirt i bet...

get an FP green, an upgraded TMIC, fuel pump, injectors, and a tune.

the tune or tmic prob push it over 3k, but i'd think only a little

i dont think you're a wheels and body kit guy so I wont go there...

fp green??

Forced Performance "Green" turbo. Hugely popular with the DSM's, STi's started using them. Kind of an ultimate street turbo IMO. Here you go:

If you get it, I'd seriously consider paying you for a ride. And I agree with that upgrade path btw.

If you knew all that and were asking something totally unrelated, myyyy bad.

**TROLL** · 08-02-2005, 12:50 AM

can anyone compare the 18G (or 20G) with the Green? I dont know much about the bigger turbos as I have only really ever paid attention to the VF34 and 16G which is the way i would go if i did on my WRX.

the 18g pretty much puts same powers # as the vf22(bigger than 34) were the 18g out does it is race gas, by a lot. i belive the green on sti's makes some where in the range of 350-400whp with a good tune.

I definitely concur with criz.......if i had the money, this would be my route for sure!

sisforsurfing · 08-02-2005, 11:14 AM

I just realized you have an Accessport... which, correct me if I'm wrong, will be a problem tuning with a bigger turbo (especially the FPGreen.) If you got something to tune that all with, yeah, that would be badass.

criz · 08-02-2005, 11:39 AM

Tuning shops which are Cobb authorized protuners can tune accessports... so getting a custom tune is not a problem

sisforsurfing · 08-02-2005, 12:21 PM

Thanks for the correction... that's good to know that, I had no idea that was possible. That's cool, maybe I'll look into the AP again.

wgknestrick · 08-02-2005, 12:49 PM

Don't mess around with bolt on turbos. Get an external wastegate GT30R setup. They are much, much easier to work on and will make more power and spool sooner.

I currently have the 3 different aftermarket turbo in my STI.

Get the Ultimate Racing Kit and call it a day.

272sWrx · 08-02-2005, 01:31 PM

and get a fmic..

2fst4uR32 · 08-02-2005, 02:13 PM

I have a used aps dr500 stealth black fmic for sale off my old 02 wrx. its in good shape with some flaking on pipes. Its missing hose from turbo to pipe and some simple fittings that can be picked up from any shop. asking price is $700

272sWrx · 08-02-2005, 02:35 PM

lol is this rob??

2fst4uR32 · 08-02-2005, 02:43 PM

lol yeah its me whats up dave

criz · 08-02-2005, 03:11 PM

I prefer TMIC because with the FMIC you have to take out the stock bumper beam... which other than being a major insurance issue... I like having that solid protection.

FMICs do look awesome though

272sWrx · 08-02-2005, 03:16 PM

(ot)who told you about this site rob?

sorry to hijack
