Sos makes a great kit for s2ks. I had one on my car for alittle while. It truly depends on what you are looking for. I never had problems out of it and it made about 385@12psi with the 1200 head unit. I wanted more power after about 6 months and i had a few options. 1) Pulley down and max out the kit that would yield about 440ish 2) sell the kit and go turbo 3) sell the car and get something with more power from the factory to build on. I picked 3 and im having a blast but had a great time in my s2k too. Where are you located i might beable to get you a ride in a s2k that you described.

I'm pretty stuck on your number 3 to be honest. I'm just not sure what I really want to do. I like to keep simple, basic power mods. So in the scheme of things I think i'd rather just start on a platform with a higher hp rating and just do the basics from there. I'd rather not get into anything too invasive. My other issue is that there are only so many cars that are going to handle as well as the s2k and many of them aren't big power makers or cost way more than i'd be willing to pay.

But on the other hand, instead of switching from a 13k car to a 20k car, I could just spend the roughly 6k on the sos base kit and clutch and have a bit more whp than I would be getting out of a basic n/a m3 anyway. My previous wrx made 338/350 on a very cold winter's night. The setup on average is typically good for 300whp on most wrx's so really i'd just like to get a little over that 300whp mark so I'm in a familiar range.

I'm right outside of the Annapolis, MD area. It'd be pretty awesome if you could get me a ride.

Ah got ya, im down in south eastern Va, if you are ever down here i can get you a ride. If your goal is 300, that should be something easy to do on the 1220 blower basic kit. Im just the type where its never enough and i know i am. Thats the big reason i went with my option #3.

I'm just not really sure what I want to do at the moment and essentially driving myself mad.

If you want to sell the S, you know who gets first dibs, right?
