You could get a boost controller with gear specific boost profiling to get you more HP in the lower gears. It won't add to the headline figures but should make it quicker.

Isn't 06 STI twin scroll? I thought the OE twin scroll headers were really good.
Re booster controller my choice is the Apexi AVCR, but that to compliment the ECU I have. Best ask your mapper

Apexi AVCR still the best one imho.. allowing as Jay says gear dependant duty.. basically there is less load in the lower gears so the duty can be added to make target boost in the lower gears.. and you have a gearbox that can take it too

Best value for money mod I have done so far is a set of Harvey Smith ported headers and matched up-pipe. There is torque lower down and everywhere else and it is freer at the top. On a run it may be using less fuel and it is certainly more willing to go even on a whisper of throttle.

If you are fitting headers, you might as well fit a bigger turbo as well to see 400 bhp (+) and you will need a re-map for sure.... I am later this year when it's drier and warmer...

it might reduce drag, but painting it red is probably not going to do anything for your cause, especially if you paint it as badly as i did mine last year!!!lol
