new here! help

[KTeevan]

hey guys, im new to this forum. okay so sadly enough i currently own a 2006 scion tC. just bone stock. but im a HUGE car guy, and ive decided theres no point in turboing the tC because im madly in love with the ms3. my friend chris (laloosh) has one, and its so nice. so anyways, im buying a 2008 ms3 grand touring in black with the built in nav system (just cuz its cool). im paying for it all myself so im gunna baby the car. but anyways, the first two things im doing after i buy it are cpe intake, and turboxs tbe. now, what are the best upgrades to get the most horse out of the car? money doesnt really matter as the military pays me $850 a month to be in school pays to be smart. anyways, any suggestions would most certainly help. thanks a lot guys!

the intake and tbe is already the best bang for the buck upgrades for the ms3, which u already plan to do

yeaa, so i've heard. what should i do next? is a better topmount good? i think my friend might have an engine management system in his car? all i know is he ran a 12.9 and just dynoed at 322whp.

If I were you, I would wait for anything beyond the turboback and the intake. Cobb will be releasing their Accessport, hopefully really soon. If you know anything about Subaru's, you should know who Cobb is. Is there any particular reason why you want the cp-e intake over any others out there? If you awnt to get the Accessport, Cobb's intake would be best, and its quite a bit less.

no reason at all really. i just did some research, and the cpe seems to have the best overall horsepower gains. although cobb does go better with other cobb stuff, and of course ive heard about cobb lol. my friend has an sti with cobb stage 2. its quick, really quick, but im hoping to pull on him when i get everything for my ms3.

Is laloosh in jersey as well? 850 a month isn't very much when your car payments and gas are figured in. Don't over do it.

 

[KTeevan]

yes, he's in new jersey as well. im friends with him. oh and 850 a month is just my "free" money. i work as well. and the brings in abot another 350 a month.and while im down at school, which i currently am, i only put on about500 miles a month so gas wont kill me.
