Am I an addict?

Does anyone else have this same problem? I’m supposed to be saving money for my retune. Every time I say I’ve bought the last round of parts to start the next phase of my build and it’s time to start saving for the tune I end up buying more parts 😬. Recently it was dual radium catch cans because my tuner recommended it so of course buy it. Then new pitch stop mount because it’ll be easy to access when the tmic is out. Then front and rear bumpers because mine have minor damage and it’s been bothering me since I bought my car. Realistically not necessary but my ocd says do it already so I did.Then I bought the Billetworkz short throw shifter kit, Overtake clutch delay delete, and new bride shifter and e-brake boots since when I do all the upcoming upgrades these things will be easily accessible so why not right? In my mind logically this is the best move since I eventually want to do these things anyways. Last night I did it again and I just ordered a koyorad racing radiator. Again because I’ll be removing the stock one to free up space while installing the new upgrades. Do I have a problem 😂😅? Or is everyone else the same way. This issue I have keeps delaying me actually installing all the parts I’ve been stocking pilling because again my ocd says instead of putting on parts here and there I need to wait till I have it all before I start installing them. My reasoning is because of not wanting to tune multiple times for the parts that require a retune to save money and also not wanting to install new parts just to have to remove them to make space to install more new parts and have to reinstall them again because it’s just more efficient right, why make more work for myself? What do you guys think am I tweaking or na? Back when I owned my rx7 I was always taking everything apart and putting it back together every time I got new parts which was sometimes fun and just part of the process but also I was younger single, didn’t have babies and worked at a dealership with access to a lift which is no longer the case. Worse part is I keep telling my wife these are all just reliability mods and regular maintenance things because WRX’s are ticking time bombs 😂. I think I’m partially cooked guys 😩🤦🏻‍♂️.

I’m about to do it again guys…. Someone please help me lol. Seriously any Subi peeps want to chime in please do. So I just hit 70K on my 2020 wrx (fa20dit) and have never done a walnut blasting to clean the valves. I’m wanting to do this before I get it tuned. Now since I have to remove the intake manifold to do this should I also do a tgv and egr delete? I’m already needing a tune for the upgrades soon to come and making the switch from tuning with a Cobb AP to Ecutek so issues with post green speed changes and the Cobb limitations are not an issue. It’ll cost me about $200 and can probably get me an extra 15-25 hp supposedly. Is it worth it, what do you guys think? I feel like I should just do it, but again I may have a slight problem over here lol.
