What size injectors would i be getting the most out of the 16g. Do you think an after market tmic would be a noticeable amount of power differance vs. the sti tmic.

650cc injectors should be fine. WRX Fuel injector sizing guide STi Fuel injector sizing guide Lgt fuel injector sizing guide, JSC Speed Check this chart out shold re-affirm that for you. I personally would get something bigger than the STI TMIC, but depends on your pockets.

I have modded stock injectors. Works good. Just make sure you get them cleaned, tested, and flow matched.

Yep, all the previous advice is sound. big 16? eh...probably close to 300whp. It all depends on the tune and other factors. So, don't get to caught up in the number. It should be enough to make you happy. If that's the ballpark your shooting for. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Edit: the gauges would help more if your trying to opensource tune it/log it. Unless you like to keep a eye on things. You don't really need any of the above if your taking it to get protuned.

If you want gauges regardless, from all the reading I have done, prosports are good and some of the cheaper ones out there. Check out prosportgauges.com if you are still interested.
