Plus, you'll be losing massive amounts of torque with the STX map. IMO, a properly built ESP WRX will mop up a properly built STX WRX. Not to mention a properly build ESP WRX will have a 2.5L motor, which isn't even legal in STX (the 2.5L WRX is in STU w/ the STi).
About the brakes. What is your opinion for the track. I'm thinking about the time trials next year. Will the brake line, blue fluid and pads upgrade be adequate for the track?

So if the 06 WRX is in STU opposed to STX. Will it be in BSP or ASP up from ESP?

One last thing. Do you think removing my roof rails will be legal under STX rules? I believe it is legal under SP. I know this is lazy and I should look it up but while I'm on the point I'll ask it anyway. I know I have to do some work, now that Nik finally changed his ECU. And the brake fade I'm getting on the 5th and 6th runs at the events is not cool and would "kill" me at the track.
