why would you say the turbo timer is pointless. from my understanding i thought the turbo needed time to cool down after being driven, please correct me if i am wrong. and i know about the rotors i just lilke the way the look.

 

I heard people like to rebuild the transmissions but I don't know much about Subaru's. Yes when you say rex its could go for multiple different cars.

 

So you come on here asking for advice and info about what to do, then given answers by those who know, you make the statement it is your money being "wasted" not mine.

Do you realize engine management and a reflash are pretty much the same thing. I would get an AP, Cobb makes a good one and have that thing tuned otherwise you will be looking for a motor soon. Instead of wasting your money on junk, you should spend it on something to keep your engine from becoming junk and get a tune. Then again, it is your money being wasted, not mine Also try not to break that transmission you have.

 

 

Come on Jim, I was expecting something better...lol.

 

It's a WRX...it ain't getting any better

IDK man its the hating on me asking for advice i know i shouldnt be a dick but its like "come on i am only asking for help from ppl that has been there". and thats what i thought a reflash is pretty much the same thing. my friend had a 02 WRX and i learned a lot from him and the problems that he had. another quick question what is this "AP" that everyone is talking about??? and again sorry to everyone for being a dick.

 

I along with others have offered you help. I know I wasn't a dick about what you you should not do(mainly the rotors) and you replied with the money being wasted is yours not mine? So frankly, I felt like being a dick back because I can.

AP= Access Port.

 

Thanks all for the information, but please keep it coming... and again im sorry everyone

 

STi TMIC... is beneficial enough. JDM STi TMIC is best IMO. NO FMIC as if it may/will reduce inlet temps it will lag the hell out of your turbo. Even so, GT35R WRX's also run TMIC's... typically going larger XS units. If you're worried greatly of heat then buy an IC cooling spray unit similar of OEM STi setups.

Rotors... slotted if you must other than OEM, but pads, fluid, SS lines, and Cusco BMC brace will do wonders!!!

Exhaust... buy something other than OBX, please. Don't cheap out as welds will break over prolong abuse, or muffler insides will fall apart, maybe both. DON'T say you won't beat on this car.

Intake... 2nd gen Perrin inlet w/HKS panel drop in.

Sways... Cobb or Whiteline, and DO pick up endlinks like everyone is suggesting.

EM... Get it ASAP before power adders. It's cheaper than half the stuff you've bought/will buy, so there's no excuse not to. Between Cobb AP & UTEC, I'd suggest buying whichever one a tuner nearby is consistent with tuning on a regular basis. IIRC, Kienan does UTEC.
