    Well where are you looking to be? Because you don't have to stop with just the kit itself. The typical mod path supports intake exhaust WGA's other than the s2.

    17 psi is the boost level you want to run. 11.8 is the ideal air fuel ratio you want to tune to. IE: dyno or a wide band o2 sensor

    remember that hp numbers aren't everything!!!

    what's your budget? that's the best place to start and you can just do the basics (wga/mbc/tbe/s1) and see where you're at from there. but it's really all depending on what you want from the car. just saying that you want to beat a evo, well that honestly doesn't take very much. what's the ultimate goal in terms of track times that you're looking for? do you want to run slicks, dr's or street tires? are you concerned with drivability? give us a better idea of your needs and then it's easier to make suggestions.

    not really evo's and sti's dyno low cause they have alot of drivetrain loss yea they have 290 at the crank but there only putting like 255 to the ground if even that
