then get a fmu $50.
thats all you need, assumming you are using the bypass valve from gt or some kinda blow off valve. easy setup, i did the same with t3/t4, gt injector and fmu and can you say fast

ok so just to clarify.. this is my beater car, it gets me to work and back and those late nights driving home "sober" haha
anyways it has 250k on it... all bolt ons have been replaced and car has mostly freeway miles. i bought from a friends dad, he was the original owner.

so.. i am hesitant to spend any kind of major money on this. i got the turbo and manifold given to me, i just want to make the car go pssh thats it, so its gunna need to spool up quick because the car has never seen past 4krpm since iv had it and im damn sure my friends dad wasnt racing it lol. but i deffinately prefer reliablity over performance so downtuning the turbo doesnt bother me...

questions:
BOV for pssh effect? i had a HKS super sequintial on my STi, it sounded ok, i preffer not as much wistling...
should i do a rebuild on the motor? how much are kits?
what about exhaust? downpipe?
whats the FMU?
how bad is it gunna screw my mpg? i get 350miles to a tank average.

and id like to get it a little lower, but when im rolling five deep i dont want it to rub...cut springs? cut springs w/stiffer struts?

and if there is anything else that doesnt cost any green that would be cool or in my interest to do.. im open to ideas.. i was thinking about building a rally light bar and bolting it to the roof with some off road lights. you never know when they might come in handy.

thanks guys!

ps.. there is this railroad crossing in my area that is some what "elavated" if you catch my drift.. anyways i hit it goin about 60ish..great hangtime and she took it like a champ.. i love this car!! i call it the six deuce..lmao
