Ok let's start from the beginning. I purchased this car used for $25K. The previous owner put 19" ssr rims wrapped in kuhmo rubbers on it. She was hot like a porn star, I couldn't resist . I didn't know it at the time but the car was already a stage 1. Three days later I went down to the drag strip.
60' 1.89
13.69@ 99.8mph It was like 98 that day so I was ok with that pass.

I ordered a TXS TBE and a TXS FMIC as well as a short ram intake. This is when I figured out the sti was a stage 1. I retained the cat delete of unknown make the car came with. The Turbo XS parts were installed with no fittment issues, but it did take a few weeks to figure out how to turn off the PO420 CEL.
