30hp is all I need

Tune. That's pretty much it. Don't listen to people who say RaceChip.

Close to stock mechanically or aesthetically....

If mechanically, then lose the heavy wheels/tires, back seat delete anything else you don't need and see how well they can tune it up w/o going beyond capabilities of the injectors.

Unfortunately its not like a Subie which arrive in the states somewhat "detuned" then magically getting 40-60 hp with just better ignition parts and DME tweaking...

I agree with the others; pick the right tune and you'll pretty much get what you want without other major mods.

Ecu tuning group. Unfortunately intakes don't do much for our little beast. An exhaust would help, but it varies on manufacturer. A good way to get around 5-10 is the resonator delete for the FMIC inlet line. I have done that from Alta and it helped more then I though it would. The run flats are heavy too, ditch those for regular lighter tires and that will help. The DWS from Conti are fairly light and offer great traction in most conditions.

Eh, I'd stay away from ETG. Someone's engine blew up on here from their tune. NM, RennTech, and PAW are great for our cars. You don't want to replace your motor for $5k.

Do your research on the search function up above. I'm tired of explaining it. This forum will tell you.

I have searched, I have read, I have not seen a clear cut answer. I will continue to read the threads. Feel free to copy and paste one of your past responses so you don't have to "explain" it again.
