Most people aren't using MBC's on the X. They work ok, most people go with 3-ports and thats what I would recommend too.

3 Port is definitely the route I want to go with but from what I've been reading you shouldn't be running this without a tune which is why I was debating the MBC route to help from boost spike till I got all the regular bolt-ons then got a tune afterwards. Thanks for the info

In your opinion is the EVO GSR faster and does it handle better than the STi ?

IMO the cobb ap is a great "starter" mod. As my first mod, it cost me $400 used, and it will probably sell for about $400 when I'm done with it. With it, you can get a good "off the shelf" tune for your stock setup all the way through your bolt-on mods (intake/turboback exhaust/ic/piping). Once you go past that, you'll probably have to get a custom tune, but I personally would say an accessport would be a good start..
