B4_Maniac Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 I will only change my engine management if I can get guarenteed reliability. I don't want to ruin my 29k investment. I think I will move in the handeling dept first and upgrade the sway bars and get the STB..along with the rubber..but wich to do first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 How would a BOV blow a turbo? BTW, while I'm being lazy, someone link me to a BOV for teh Leggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawgs Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I am just wondering why you are going with a BOV? No horsepower increase, but does sound cool. Plus it could void your warranty. I know about voiding a warranty. I had a 04' WRX that crack a head gasket, and SOA would not warranty it because I had Samco radiator and intercooler hoses on it.

B4_Maniac Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Okay guys..I have some money to burn, I decided to not get the BBS wheels from tire rack and take the 2k that would cost me and put it to diffrent mods..need links to some good parts. Got any ideas? B4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Well there's the AccessPort everyone's been talking about. I think that would be the best thing to get value- and money-wise, right? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Better yet, and since you want to go the handling route first, buy apexjapan's (Paul Hanson) springs from his JDM GT. They should drop it a bit and make it a bit tighter in the corners. Not sure if it's very compatible with our struts/shocks though. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4_Maniac Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 I am not realy looking for power at this stage..or engine management. I want to tighten up the handeling before I move with more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
