My name is Matthew, and I live in the Guilderland/Altamont area. I have an '05 WRX STi in Platinum Silver Metallic. You’ll most likely see me on Rt 20 in Guilderland. I’m a member of multiple car forums, and I found this one through another local one. **Pictures** Summer setup (stock BBS wheels w/ Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S tires): ![http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/396/l7bd19842d84bb991123bc6il8.jpg](http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/396/l7bd19842d84bb991123bc6il8.jpg) ![http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8959/l8fddc92397d9fc71a97d10aa1.jpg](http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8959/l8fddc92397d9fc71a97d10aa1.jpg) Winter setup (ASA JH3 wheels w/ Blizzak REVO1 tires): ![http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7357/l01420ff898a97bdf31c17ere8.jpg](http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7357/l01420ff898a97bdf31c17ere8.jpg) ![http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9100/1007976qr4.jpg](http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9100/1007976qr4.jpg) ---

I do work for DEC, but I would’ve gotten a StageII tune with the catless DP, and then reverted back to stock until I could afford the TurboXS Stealthback (and tweaked the map). Don’t worry about it, bud! I’m happy with the StageI tune I got. Best of luck with the surgery - hopefully it goes well! Is it wisdom tooth removal? ---

Lately, TurboXS’s quality has proven to be pretty well. While their BOV’s suck, and their entry-level boost controllers are nothing to call home about, their exhaust pieces, UTEC, etc… work pretty damn well. Matthew- You know me. Nice to meet you. Again. 🙂 ---

Welcome Matthew, enjoy your stay! I think I’ve seen your car around. Now that you’re a member on here you can come to Shift518 Spring Fever meet. Oh and if you would like to read an old E-version of Shift518 the newspaper, let me know I’ll send one your way! ---

stock turbo sti’s are fun but they leave you wanting more… nasty grunt down low but they run out of breath up top. the vf39/43/48 they put on the stock sti is better suited for the wrx… the stock sti turbo should be something 20g sized or so imho ---

While their BOV’s suck, and their entry-level boost controllers are nothing to call home about, their exhaust pieces, UTEC, etc… work pretty damn well. Fair enough. My experience has been the same: Shitty BOV and overpriced BCs. Glad to see them offer other products. Weird that most people I see using those products are Subbie guys and the SRT-4 boys.
