took out the custom intake box?

go with the EWG joe! and i too feel that an sti is distinguished with it's top mount feature. it'll be unique keeping it too considering that most opt for the fmic when they upgrade the turbo. and fro the above post, looks like the 750cc's will do.

You will probably hate me but oh well lool:

850cc Injectors - Just incase your car requires a lil more its there, if you ever go bigger turbo after that, you have the room. Its just me, I rather have more room on the table than hardly any left yah know?

FMIC - APS DR-525, why, cause it won't heat soak as much as a TMIC will, try driving in bumper to bumper with that turbo and a TMIC, heat soak FTL! If you track the car, FMIC will be your best friend.

CAI - Yah, with all that heat from the turbo, and a TMIC, and now a Short Ram Intake, a nice cold air intake is the best choice. If you get an APS FMIC, get the APS 70mm.

EWG - You have another car to drive sooooo do it! Go for the EWG, it will be a lil more expensive since you need the up-pipe with EWG. You will gain about 10-15whp from the EWG alone. If you don't have headers, go with them as well since you will already be in there when/if you go for the EWG up-pipe. Just remember, coat EVERYTHING, wrap it, then spray coat it again!

I hope I made your choices easier!! I know your bank account won't be happy with me hahah.

If you're thinking about going with a cold air intake with an APS kit, I'll trade intakes with you. I have an APS 65mm and the only reason why I'm looking to go with a shorty is do to the fact that I "play" a bit in the winter. I'm super paranoid that one day I'm going to just clog that damn thing up with snow in a rally.

I will be running my 50/50 meth all the time.

I am not sure if I should go with 750cc or 850cc injectors for a 47lb/min wheel...?
I'd feel comfortable w/ the 750cc ones.... like it was said, people are running similar injectors on larger turbos w/out problems. the 850cc ones might not atomize as well, but will give you the overhead if you need it. BUT, w/ meth running constantly, dunno if you'd need it.

I am not sure if I should go EWG or not.
I would go EWG in a heartbeat and get it plumbed back into the DP.... Controls boost the best, and since its going back to the DP, you wont go deaf / make others lose hearing.

I am second guessing if I really do need to go FMIC and if I do does it have to be APS or will a Turbo XS do me fine. Either way i would say APS, DR525 like Chris suggested, or the APS TMIC... I would definitely choose fmic though.

I hopefully will be ordering this "stuff" this up coming wed. so we shall see...any input is appreciated...

Damn too many choices.
Very true, but in the long run, its your money, your research, your decision

Spearco TMIC over the APS TMIC! But def go for the APS DR-525 FMIC! Match that with the APS 70mm CAI! Go EWG and scare the SHIZZLE out of ever ricer that comes next to you! Thats my plan, I plan on having someone with me with a camera and take a picture as soon as my car spools up boost and the EWG opens up!

Yes definitely Spearco. It costs more for a reason. Pretty sure APS is not made out of aluminum. Its heavy and retains heat. Or call Rob at AMR and get their's with the heat dispersant coating. You won't be disappointed
