Hey everyone I just wanted to share a project I that I am building piece by piece. I hope this helps the new subie owners to want to work on their own projects. I have an 08 wrx rally blue 2.5L I did mods on the engine interior and suspension. For those of you who may continue to follow this build and want to start your own build, I use Got Boost Inc: Mazda-Mitsubishi-Subaru Performance Part Dealer!, because the guy I deal with his names Dave. His prices are the most competitive by far and he will beat any price out there. You find it cheaper he will beat it. He has done a lot to help me, i know he will do the same for you. If you visit the site and you have any questions use the email address and tell him Drew sent you. Parts were purchased from gotboostinc.com.

Once I put all these things on the car I used an e-tune by Eric Mineheart to get by for a while and I started studying engine management and tuning ecu's. Itm took about a year of research reading and studying before I felt comfortable enough to start going into my ecu and changing things. I spent a good two days road tuning my car and got my numbers where I wanted them for now with no knock issues or any other issues. Here are my final numbers for now.
