They put so much crap on my credit that my score went from a 750 to about a high 400 to a very low 500 so I am already paying way too much for the WRX. Tried writing letters, police reports, etc, with little to no help. Considering I drove a 1998 S10 truck before this that I've owned for about 4 years, my insurance skyrocketed also. The Access Port is definitely very high on the parts to buy list though and will not be the last part I buy FOR SURE. Thanks for the advice on getting parts that Cobb has maps for! Do you happen to know where to figure out which parts they do make maps for so I don't make the mistake of buying the wrong stuff until I can afford to get it custom tuned down the road?! Thanks again.
Cobb's site and forums have basically all the answers to AP questions. If you can't find the answer there, try nasioc.

I don't define "faster" as trap speeds or ETs, and an STi with a turboback will be faster at autocross or on a racetrack. Plus, the STi will pretty much run forever at that power level and the WRX is putting a lot of strain on the drivetrain at a power level that will outrun an STi. I would much rather spend $35k on an STi than $22k on a used and modded EJ20 WRX.
