How much money do you have to spend? When I traded my 05 SS\SC in I had 2.6 pulley,Custom tune, 60lbs injectors, dual pass intercooler upgrade Option B, Devils Own Progressive Meth kit, GM Performace Exhaust manifold, ZZP catted downpipe, and a custom 3" exhaust. All this was enought to nicely pull(from a roll) on a tuned 05 STi consistantly. First mods should be upgrading the intercooler system. Now if you have the money I would definetly get the TVS blower upgrade kit!

If your going with the TVS and want to do the supporting mods first I'd start with the exhaust. Also some people will tell you the stock clutch is **** and will never hold. This is BS because I beat my SS everyday and traded it in with over 70k on it and never slipped once.

good choices.
if you get a wideband also you should be good to run a 50 shot or so just need to make sure your not knocking and that your afr's are good.
