Default My wrx

hey guys,

Here is my story.I own a 2004 wrx, i have had this car for few years and it is the first car i have bought. I got it from Ozzy Park Subaru with 49,000 kms, sti tmic and a 3 inch exhaust system everything else was stock. I will be honest when i bought it i did not know much about subarus and have spent every lunch time at work on the net trying to learn something or just dreaming and looking at parts lol.. I have never had a major problem with it apart from the alarm system spinning out one winter and the rocker cover gasket that just started leaking... I love this car and i dont have the heart to sell it so i have decided to mod it a little bit which is why i am posting this up i am a little excited.

Over this last year i have been randomly buyin parts for my car and just looking for good deals.This is my everyday car so i want it practical and to look nice for the street. I have been in touch with ASG over the last week or so over emails and phone and today i purchased the last peace to the puzzle to get everything fitted. Well i hope i did .



This is my little collection, APS dr525 fmic, IhI vf 34 turbo, Avo Silicone turbo inlet pipe, APS 70mm CAI, Deatsch Werks 650cc injectors, HKS BOV, HKS boost control, set of defi guages and other little random bits.. I have a HKS turbo timer that will not be going in because i rather keep my alarm system.. I will be also getting the gasket replaced, bigger fuel pump and tune from ASG. I have a ruff quote for $3400. Does this seem about right? how long will i be with out a car? and most importantly how much HP do you guys think i will get? 270?? more?? less??

Very common set up but for everyday use i think it will do me fine for some time...The only other thing i would like to do in the future is maybe get a set of brembo's and nice volks.. My car is not booked at ASG yet but will be soon, i will update this with how it all went

thank for reading, and help will be appreciated

I had VF34 + decaps + Trust/Greddy Spec R FMIC + Tomei unequal length headers + motec on my MY05 and that made around 310hp.

Nice list of mods mate with quality parts aswell.
Looking forward to results once it's tuned with all the goodies you got.

Plenty on here with similar mods, someone should be able to tell you what you should roughly make.
