Hi Guys,

Hope you're all well

Sorry for this noob question but through my research on this topics there are a lot of discussion but still no solid conclusion so I must ask again specifically.

So I've got a 99 WRX GC8 and so far the engine mods I have done:

X-Force TBE
GD STI Intercooler

I am slowly building the car but because I am married with 1 kid, I can't dump a large sum of cash at once without getting a divorce LOL

So with that said throughout last year I have slowly collected few items yet to be put on the car:

VF34 Turbo
Apexi Power FC
Process West CAI


COLD AIR INTAKE
What I wanted to know is that I have read a few thread on DIY Pod filter and I'm pretty confident I can do it myself on one weekend to save a bit of money. So with that said am I all right to install the Process West CAI and have the car running as a daily drive without a tune? This will only be temporary for say about 3-4 months before I can get the rest in and tuned.

A few workshops I've spoken to that specialise in Subaru and can tune Power FC is also giving me mix respond to this.

EVO R said that it will blow up my engine

All Star said that it will be fine as long as I don't touch the AFM


Your thoughts please?


INJECTORS
On another note with that mod in mind as above, am I in need of bigger injectors?

Again I know there's a lot of article covering this but again most are mixed response, same as the workshops I spoke to

EVO R said that I would need bigger injectors and the ones selling in Ebay JECS brand for $300 odd would be fine.

RPW said I would need bigger injectors and to not touch those cheap ebay stuff but rather to use Injector Dynamics.

All Star said I wouldn't need one for a VF34 because mine is the yellow injector 440cc which would be sufficient enough

S-Technic said the same I wouldn't need one with a VF34 as it wouldn't max out the 440cc, they also warn me that the GC8 is a bit troublesome to find the correct injector that doesn't leak etc.

Again your thoughts on this please?


Thanks guys, again sorry for the noob question, fairly new to the performance scenery.
