Recommendations :

- Ditch the SSQV and get a real recirculatory BOV, your WRX will thank you.
- Ditch the AccessPort and get a pro-tune, your WRX will love you and you will love it even more.
- Drive, enjoy, burn HKS/Cobb parts removed

Dance like a banana :banana

I am planning some things to change the current setup but college/rent/saving for a bike is killing progress. Probably looking at injectors/vf\*\*/F\_TMIC/pump/MOON tune. I also need money for brakes and the Synapse Engineering Recirc./B.O.V.

and wheels? Lol slow progress but im enjoying it :banana

Yeah definitely go back to a recirculating bov. Right now you are probably running rich between shifts. Also the Cobb AP is good, but nothing beats an open source tune. :nod
