    Default need 2 make more power in a wrx

    I want some more power out of my wrx. I want a manual boost controller, and raise the boost bout 2psi. and add a cold air intake, downpipe and a catback. will i be safe with that with out changing fuel management.

    dont get the intake, its not that useful until you have much more done(including fuel) get a full exhaust(up pipe, down pipe, and catback) i have a friend selling one for $500. i believe it's a helix up and dp, with an ansa catback. thatll get you more gains than an intake will right now. check out www.wrxtuners.com for more info. use their tech guide on advice on when and what to upgrade

    Let us know if you need some help. Give us a call. We can get exhaust components. Intakes etc. I would also reccomend a chip upgrade for the WRX would make a big help.
    There are also some front mount intercooler kits that work well on your car.
    Let us know

    honestly, some type of engine management is you best bet. Unless you have an 06, the first thing to change is the up pipe, then turboback. There are some great tuners in the area, I personally pefer SOG Scott Segiel, but the choice is up to u. pm me if you need some help.

    no offense, but a wrx's do not care for CAIs. The stock air box is good for pretty big numbers(350whp), just change the panel filter. as far as the front mount goes, i don't think it is needed on a stock turbo wrx, or sti for that matter. i think a 20g is about the border line of a big tmic and a fmic. just my opinion of course.
