    i assume you mean you are gonna get a regular wrx? cause if you find an sti for 12k dammit im buyin it.

    why not put about half that as a down payment for an STi, have a reasonable payment, and 6 grand left over for mods? easy peasy 400awhp, and a better car.
    Who knows?

    get a DC POS teggy, and drop a k20 in it.

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    how do **** do u lose hp if u add a FMIC? I will be new to turbo thing, so i will need alot of lessons on how to do the build the right way. And if i put a large tubo, wont i need a FMIC to support it. Well again, NEW to turbo stuff.

    And about the guy with the DA, i know him. He was supposed to be putting a ebay turbo on, but than changed his mind.

    Eh... Depends. Top mounts you'll have better throttle response but heat soak can be an issue, FMIC (or any IC for that matter) buy a quality one and you'll have no troubles. You cannot be cheap with a turbo car and expect it to

    A.) last
    B.) give you the hp gains you're looking for
    C.) be reliable

    on a stockish setup the topmount makes more power with the shorter travel for piping (?). you dont need the frontmount until you get quite a few more upgrades and you need something to get things much cooler. i remember this because i was looking at WRX's before I got my teggy

    mm i think everyone on importatlanta would take a FD rx-7 over a WRX. DHAAA. lets see, rx7 are rare, wrx arent. rx7 cost way more than an WRX.



    Well back to the topic. im planning on buying all good quality parts ofcourse. I wanna start off with a bigger tubo and a FMIC, DP UP, NOOZZZZ kidding.

    Anyone have a fan site or a forum site for WRX. I need to learn more about WRX before i decide to do anything.

    And then spend 3x as much to replace the engine every 50k miles.

    Seriously, get something different. Hint Hint new.....Maybe an Evo(New chassis) or something and slam it. Just ride it like that for a while. You don't see to many of those riding around.

    Maybe a E90 335 BMW(twin turbo).

    You can only look at the same **** for so long.

    LOL....how about you buy a stock Civic or Integra and just ride that out for the time meaning? With the way economy is going I wouldn't real want to blow all that 12k into a car. Im sure you can find something for 3k-5k around the Atlanta area. Put the rest in a savings and lets the money grow man. In a year you'd be surprised how much you'll have thanks to the interest.

    IMO, that's what I would do but good luck with whatever you do.

    whats with all the ppl on an enthusiast forum talking about just getting a cheap daily and dont mod the car? what fun would that be? whatever you do buy, keep at least 2-3k for mod upgrades. i personally would get a turbo honda, but do what you like? if you get a wrx, be ready to swap some trannies!! oh and be ready to get walked by pretty much every fwd turbo honda from a roll.
