Not 100% of course because i havent actually done it. Just have information from what ive read and seen. Im not sure why the Greddy is on the intercooler. Was kinda looking for information on that. thats why i asked about it but i actually just found this so i guess that sums that up.

I dont plan on drifting and racing all over town guys. Ill probably just take it to the track now and then for fun with my friends and take it to the local car clubs and shows. Nothing serious. But you are right in saying that its more of a shopping list. It does seem that way and i have a bad habit of doing things in that fashion. I asked the questions here because, maybe its just me but, its not easy to find the exact information im looking for. If anyone knows exactly where i can find what im looking for or the answers to my questions it would be the people here. Instead of browsing the web going to hundreds of websites and watching hundreds of videos, asking BRZ owners seems to be the smartest thing i can do. Im a hands on learner. Having the car and having the parts with me in the shop, and having a person with me who knows what to do, ill learn faster than web surfing i can guarantee it. There isnt really a place i can just go to see people who already have this stuff. Its either surfing the web or hands on. Those are my options lol Im just trying to find out what i need to know, and what fits, what works, whats best, before i start my hands on learning experience.
If you don't know where to learn, or where to start, why do you have such a specific laundry list of mods you want to do?

Seriously, take this as advice:

Drive the car first.

Don't assume you know everything.

And after that, if you truly feel you need more power, want a flashier kit to make the car look better, bigger wheels, blah blah blah... then go mod away.

Until then, take your $20k and go buy some GoPro stock. If you had done that in the last 48 hours you would've made 20%+ on your investment while complaining about your nonexistent car.
