I agree, black on black always looks sexy.
Are those General tires though??? Get better tires and you'll be amazed at how much better your car will handle, just from a set of tires.

noticed you used to be a honda person, same here.
The thing I miss about Hondas- less trips to gas station, and almost zero repair needs for the couple hundred thousand miles+
Subaru-lots trips to gas station, almost always need some repairs....upkeep.
But, power windows, good heat, AWD, and safety, good.

Does any one have any suggestions on what else i could do to it?I'm thinking the motor needs more power.I't pretty much stock,took out platum plugs and put in new ngk's as suggested in other post and it did make a difference.Snokus removed.BOV.K&N filter.Air conditioner belt removed.But need some idea's for power.I also am running very lean @ idle.I have have been reading post about it running stock @ 8.9 or so psi,but for some reason it runs 6 or 7 through 1st to 3rd gear and 10 to 11 psi in forth and 5th.Is that normal,i do not have a boost controller either?

Well...first thing...if you are basing your AFR observations on a Narrowband Oxygen Sensor, you might as well throw it out the window, as it really doesn't do anything apart from look pretty. I would check for an exhaust leak around the turbo, because it should hit 8.7 psi in every gear.
As far as making more power...
1) Get a Walbro 255lph fuel pump
2) Get an intercooler of some variety
3) Maybe a larger turbo (vf10, vf8, TD05-16g)
4) Fuel Cut Defender (do a search on this one)
5) Bleeder-type boost controller
Notice that I numbered all of those things, meaning they should be done in that order, to preserve your engine. Also, I hope you don't actually plan to put nitrous on a turbocharged car, especially a stock one, it kinda seems like a silly idea to me, since you already have a device that oxygenates the mixture installed (i.e. the turbo)
Hope this is of some help

It still could, because your motor is under more load in 4th and 5th= more exhaust= more boost...
Let me know if you have any more questions...

My car had the problem of a faulty wastegate solenoid. It held 8.7 pounds in 1-3, but in 3rd under a heavy load the boost would work its way up to 13 or 14 pounds and fuel cut would kick in.
Just a thought to help you troubleshoot the problem.
