I just perchased a 2006 wrx i recently had a 2002 that i had 280whp i was wondering if i should purchase the same mods as i had or do something different hear are my old mods.

turboxs fmic
turboxs rfl blow off
turboxs turbo back exhaust with 4 inch down pipe
perrin up pipe
perrin turbo inpel pipe
Aem short ram intake
turboxs boost controller
nitrous express ntercooler spray
## pullys
STI timing belt
jet chip ecu mod

should i go the same route or different

[brokenarrow]

I would say get a AP, not the "jet chip ecu mod".
I just got mine today and OMG...i am loveing it

I would not get a BOV, i just took mine off..

and NO MBC

but as for the rest ..i would go the same rout

just my 2 cents

With that 2.5L motor all you really need is a TBE, Cobb AP and a protune and you will be walking over most vehicles. (See Manicswrx profile)

thanks for the help but just one wonder i dont know what the AP chip is, is it like a plug and play? lol and why wouldent you get a bov ??

[bigbadbuddha]

AP is Cobb accessport.
And a properly installed recirculating BOV has no real +ve or -ve effect for performance with a stock turbo... May run a little rich on shifts.

is there simple bolt on parts that arent compatible with the ap??

[Speedogomer]

The AP can be professionally tuned really to match any bolt-on mod, but using the pre-designed maps you need to use the mods Cobb designed the map for.

Example, you can't run a cobb stage 2 map with only a cat-back, as the map is designed for a TBE. You can however run a stage 2 map with just a downpipe, although a full TBE is recomended for the most gain.

You can use the AP with real simple stuff like a panel filter, or even a BOV if you decide to go that route, as long as it recirculates. I guess some people run the AP with intakes, although Cobb says they only recomend using their own intake with the AP.

Oh and +1 to the AP. Really a TBE and the Cobb AP should put you right where you want to be.

Ok, what does AP mean again? I know what the rest of the acronyms are, but man, you guys have just as many nomenclature type references on here as the army, you are making my newb-ass head spin......

Yes but you would need to be tuned for that.
