I love the Works ECU flash and the gains they can provide, but because it's spec'ed to all the mods you have to your car, your best bet is to make the ECU flash your LAST mod. There's no reason to have the ECU flashed for a stock header when you planning to upgrade your headers in the future. Also, it can also be counter-productive to have the ECU flashed for aftermarket headers when you are still running stock.
Granted, Works will reflash the ECU free of charge, but you still have to pay to ship it out.
I say get the V2 pulley. The oil leak and "groove" problems is also issues on the stock pulley. RRMs pulley is reinforced with a steel sleeve, making it more durable than stock.
If you can come up with the extra funds, wait for RRMs V2 headers. It will be a perfect match for the exhaust.

QUOTE(slacker8504 @ Jul 13 2008, 10:13 PM) I didn't realize that it would be that much of a hassle to get a computer programmed and it sounds like that the ECU should be put in later after a few more things. I put a stop to my waiting for the Ti-C and ordered the WORKS Exhale. So maybe the pulley and Lowering kit cause my next thing will be the rims and tires! Has anyone got the short shifter from WORKS? If so how do you like it? I'd go for the coilovers. Yeah, they're almost twice as expensive as the lowering kit, but it's fully adjustable to whatever ride height you like... even better if you are going to do aftermarket rims since you can adjust to the size of the tire. If I had the dough, I'd definitely snag a set.

QUOTE(slacker8504 @ Jul 17 2008, 04:46 PM) So I just went crazy and ordered pretty much everything on my list all at once! Rims and tires, V2 pulley, tanabe lowering springs, WORKS exhaust! Its gonna be a busy weekend! Ill post before and after, and prob get a dyno sometime. :460: I haven't heard much on the Tanabe springs. It's mostly Works or Tein springs that get all the reviews. Let us know what you think about them. I wish I had money to burn through... ... heck, I wish had pockets for money to burn through!
