yeah scratch the subaru thing i wasnt thinking right, i guess the front mount aint worth it just for the looks, but it just makes the car look a lot better but oh well.
It does but I would get exhaust and MBC first... I mean the stock turbo just isnt effiecent enough to run through a Big front mount

if i put the boost controller and boost gauge in, what are the chances of me wrecking everything, i'd only go up to like 15 psi, and i kno the boost gauge isn't gonna wreck it, just the contrller
what are you talking about?? a boost controller and guage will not wreck anything unless you try running over 17 psi

I know a guy int own who did From my headers back on my integra 2.5in stainless piping for 60 bucks installed. Whats the stock piping size on a GST? and is it ok if he keeps the stock muffler, he dont like the exhaust loud. (i do i got an apex'i Dunk exhaust)

boost controller will be fine if staying under 16PSI on stock fuel and turbo. Stock exhaust is 2in I think you would be best to go 3in turbo back on those cars and dont keep the stock muffler HSK and Greddy are not very loud you dont want piping to get smaller toward the back

You'll cause hate and discontent with the car if you suddenly drop piping size after it's been flowing through 3" back to the muffle.

its a bad thing to do, they also have a muffler called Stealth black or something that looks like stock and is very quiet but flows very good. it is for cali cars so they dont get busted by the police

3" piping to 2" piping is like trying to stick you fist in your mouth... its more harm than good.

Here is how it works with a fmic depending on how it is built and the cfm ratings on it "Cubic Feet Per min" so how much air you are pushing the bigger cfm the innercooler more psi you will drop but it will handle lets say 22psi with no issues and there is a drop of 1psi for colling of 22psi so fmic compaired to your stock smic dont go fmic you will not like it until you upgrade the turbo like emonz said get exhaust and intake bofre that stuff.

I dunno there ARE a few people out there that can do it with no harm... Hex for SOME people it'd do quite a bit of good...
