I'm thinking of spending about £1500 on my 01 WRX next month and am interested in opinions on what to spend it on.

I definatly want a 3 gauge pod with black face gauges but dont need to go to the expense of Defi's. I was also thinking of getting a new downpipe.

If i bought these what would the option then be on the ecu side of things ?

At the moment it has a cat back magnex and a superchip piggy back with bleed valve which I'd like to replace.

or am i looking at the wrong sort of stuff for my cash.?


Any ideas welcome

{Edited to say 1.5k is flexable if needs be)

You could do the gauges, the zorst and a nice TEK 2 remapp for that, then have enough left over to go down the pub and celeberate
Thats what id do with it

Full de-cat H&S exhaust, ITG panel filter, upgraded Samco hosing (to help with extra boost), Psi3 to monitor boost(instead of expensive gauges), and finally a TEK3 custom ECU map.
Should get a safe 280bhp and plenty of smiles

Cool

Hi

Just a thought ......Why not get a fabulous GPS Speed Camera Warning System / a Radar Detector and a Laser Jammer FITTED! and have some change!

Protect your license - you can't drive your pride and joy without one..

Cheers
