Ok my next question would be if I didn't install a turbo for a while due to lack of cash due to college, would installing a exhuast for a turboed car do any harm or would it just not work to its full potential. Sooner or later I will install a aftermarket turbo into it but I want to put a nice exhuast, air intake, headers, etc. Any advice on what company will give me the most umff for the buck? Thanks for your help

That's about right.
 
Cobb tuning is a big one, I'd consult with them about any forced induction applications.

As far as your intake goes, i put in a weapon r secret weapon inatke, it makes my car sound great and added a little horsepower, here is what it looks like http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/home_n.asp?dir=detail&id=783&wizard=&s=&mid=

As far as putting a carbon hood w/ or w/out scoop for the 06 you pretty much have to go through the dealer. All the hinges and fitting is identical but there isn’t any aftermarket hoods built for the 06 model that I have found. I have done quite a bit of research because Im going to do the same thing to mine. The dealership quoted me about 500 for the hood w/ indent for scoop and about 200 for scoop so you’re looking about 700+ 100 for paint. I would go through the dealership so you’re sure to have a warrantee for the shipping, through an internet site the hood can be damaged through shipping and you get the shaft. But that’s my input on the carbon hood; it definitely gives the car that STI sporty look, which Im going to do. Thanks for the site for the intake, its exactly what Im looking for.

do you have to buy a whole new hood? why couldnt you just get a wrx hood scoop and have some specialist mount it on the 2.5s hood?
