You may want to post this in the technical section... But no, there shouldn't be a problem. By your s/n, I'm guessing you have an STi, so there is the issue with boost creep, otherwise you should be okay.

Running a PDE down pipe, stock cat back and set up my access port stage 2 after the DP. No problems at all. Talked to Barry, and he said his STI didn't run well w/ a pulley. As for a an up-pipe, if you have an STI, the stock uppipe has the cat already eliminated. So why would you want to waste your money? Just go turbo back w/ access port. This gets you about 350hp and 380 lbs of torque.

i would, but doesnt the accessport only work for '04's. thats from cobbtuning right? dont think they have the immobilizer pin in yet for the AP. and as for the up pipe, xxtuning sells them as a pack with the headers, but hey one less thing to worry about, did not know sti came cat-less on the up pipe.

Check w/ Cobb. I'm sure they will be coming out w/ conectors for the 05 shortly. It's so easy to use and it really works well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Other than that, spend money on suspension and tires. It's all well worth it.

If I

was looking for a pulley, it wouldn't be from Perrin. Just me, but I had a very negative experience with Perrin after the sale, and nothing bearing the Perrin brand will grace my car. I would look to Unorthodox Racing. I have a lightweight flywheel, so I don't really want a pulley. I just installed a PDE downpipe on a friend's car (he's in Iraq) and the one thing I didn't like was the way it tapered down before going to the catback. Probably isn't an issue until you're making serious power, but I like my Godspeed better.
