First thing to buy for my Impreza?

[Guest]

I would have to say Cobb stage 1 ECU reflash, 260 HP for $400.00 and
plug-and-play, no complicated pipes/pulleys to install, and way
cheaper than turboxs or vishnu

This is true, you can get a reflash inexpensively, however for about $950
you can get a TurboXS UTEC that you can program yourself and won't ever have
to send back in for reprogramming and thus cause the reflashes to cost more
in the long run. Do the ECU reflash if its the only thing you plan on doing
to your car, get a utec (or similar) if you want to be able to tweak down
the road as well.
