wow thats a lot of steps
Based on all the reading I do at work all day if/when I get an STi the mod path will be:

Step 1: Turboback + custom dyno tune

Step 2: Fuel Pump + injectors + turbo + custom dyno tune

I believe that the STi topmount intercooler is as good as any out there. I would only replace it if I was going to go to a frontmount intercooler. Higher lag but more power potential and no more heatsoak worries. Also, I believe that upgrading fuel rails is overrated, but then again I only have 8 hours a day to do research

Powerwise I don't think it is worth going beyond those 2 steps unles you are going for an all out built block == $$

Honestly a custom suspension setup will make more difference on the track.
Exactly. It's not a good idea to do engine mods one step at a time. As you chenge one system, you need to make sure it still works as a cohesive whole.
