Ask yourself what you NEED for a street car.

You don't need:
Anti lag
Launch control
Rotational idle

UNLESS you are building a monster HP engine / track car.

I'm a big fan of Power Fc's for Gc8's, they retain all the factory ecu's functions (a/c idle up, power steering load idle up etc) but add a wide range of tune-ability.

They have a hand controller to monitor temperature, boost, knock etc live, without the need for a laptop or $$$ proprietary dashboard.

They are easy to install (plug & play) & a tune is about $400-500.

Stock wrx with an exhaust & 1.2 bar will make about 190 -210 hp atw on a safe tune.

You can find them popping up for under $1k used.
im hoping to get 200kw from my gc8, its stock but im going to mod it all in one hit, 3" TBE, vf35, equal length headers, processwest TMIC, processwest CAI, fuel pump and injectors.
