okay well i got an 04 sti and i am wondering what i should do to spend around 3k safely into engine having it as a safe daily driver car.
this is what i thought up
Xs Engineering Turbo Back exhaust about 1.2k
Access port with street tuner around 1.1k
intake what brand would be best
up pipe thinking xs engineering not sure
blitz blow off valve
gimme ur thoughts and opinions and with me doing that much work would i need anything else for this to be a safe daily driver

Turboback good idea.
Street tuner, ehh..you know what your doing? Just get the Ap for now, then a protune
Intake, only good for a few hp, but it sounds cool I guess.
No need for an upipe, stock one is catless!
BOV? no point on stock turbo, you want the sound I guess get the intake.

I would go with the turboback, and AP for now. Put on some springs such as pinks or tanabe's and some sways and Id consider that a nice daily driver.

If you just want power just the intake, exhaust, and AP.

Ditto, you don't need an up-pipe or the BOV....The Cobb AP with it protuned by a professional tuner is the real way to go. Work on your suspension, sways help a ton....I can't wait to install mine! Heres something else that helps.....TurnInConcepts short throw shifter set with the bushings.....talk about making shifts easier and much better.....you must try them out! Check their site: www.TurnInConcepts.com

+1 for TBE and AP.

screw the intake, up-pipe, and bov, and get it protuned by Doug @ Top Speed. Or some other legendary shop... You will really then feel the performance.

Just get a AP, TBE, Fuel Pump, One Step Colder Plugs, a protune, and a short throw shifter. <---- u should be under $3k and have over 300 wheel

turbo back is fine, although i didn't know xs engineering made one. the APS 3'' is also very nice just to give you another option

accessport is great, but i wouldn't spend the money on the street tuner, and just have a professional tuner give you a nice and safe protune

the most popular intakes are probably the injen cai, the k&n short ram, and the injen cai. they aren't very important but they do add some power and will let you her the BPV

don't need a bov, most likely it will make your car run worse than normal

if you do all that you should probably have a little over 500 bucks left. i would suggest either springs or sway bars.

thanks so i should get aps tbe cobb ap stg 2 k&n intake and what kind of rear and front sway bars? and would walbro hurt my car or make it better would the colder plugs even be necessary and what kind should i get of those?

[V8killer2pt5]

Used dp, mid pipe and ECutek cost me = 975.00 with labor included. This has been ultra reliable and fun. Yes I have a few more things done but this should give you an idea of a cheap alternative. I am running the stock axleback for stealth which is a bonus for a daily driven car!

those power mods sound fine, but if you want to be running as safetly as possible, get it protuned, so your map will be customed tuned for you car. as far as sways, i would go with the whiteline 27mm up front and maybe their 24mm in back. fuel pump wont hurt it, but it may not do too much untill you get an upgraded turbo (if you do). i've seen people make a little extra power with the colder plugs, but they certainly arent needed.

[ChristianCGM]

Just get the BOV, lol. Honestly the best way to go, like everyone else has said is TBE, AccessPort, intake of your choice (APS or K&N) and get a tune. You will be much faster and more happy than you might think. Get the BOV if you really want it.

This sounds about right to me....might even skip the fuel pump.....talk with your tuner first.

1. TBE 1,200

2. AP 645

3. ALky injection kit 450

4. ProTUNE- 350ish

Edit: definitely gauges (and you don't necessarily need Defis)

[kxmx51]

sounds good but id skip the BOV, ive heard that the stock ones on our cars are better than aftermarket unless your going for big big power
