What mod made you think the hardest/long about?

supercharger or turbocharger. Built engine or stay under 300.
I should just keep it NA thats the responsible route. :iono:

insert 5 minutes on members journals- Oh ya baby we're going to boost on a built block lets do this.

rinse and repeat.

Wheels, for the same reason.

STI Flexible V-Bars; still thinking whether they would induce more demand of mechanical grip from my front tires and haven't commit to buying them yet.

At least for now...

Tactrix or oft. Only beating my self up is because I would like to learn the science behind actual tuning and logging not just reflashing.

Go with the OFT.

@steve99 gives a great writeup of Tactrix vs. OFT in this thread

Forced induction, so I went with the bolt ons/tune. Of course I could of spent an extra thousand and gotten a kit instead, definitely regret it..

Wheels also, I didn't want anything too flashy or something I didn't think were good quality. Went with volk ce28n's, very happy with them actually, wish the offset was a little lower though.

For me so far, suspension. The handling is so good from the factory, I didn't want to risk making it worse. The easy thing would have been to get really expensive dampers (JRZ, Ohlin, Moton, etc.) and call it a day, but I didn't want to spend $3k+ either.

Then Pobst wrote an article describing his experience track-testing a BRZ on RCE T2's, calling the handling balance magic.

http://www.sportscarmag-digital.com/...015?pg=22#pg22

Once I read that and saw they were well within my budget, I bought them. Big purchase, but no regrets. I did an open track day with them a few weeks ago and happy to report Pobst was on the money in his review (as usual).

Forced induction. Took me 2-1/2 years to decide.

Turbos are so much fun, but I just want to know what 325 lb's of instant torque feels like.

Most likely a crunch and bang followed by a CEL.
