From being on other Subaru forums. The 08+ STi's make decent power with bolt ons.

not really. depends, but it should get done asap.

iirc, early 08 sti's had some engine management problems and some production issues with the engine.

and in general, all subaru paint sucks.

Ok, i was thinking that i read somewhere that when the 08's first came out, even just putting on an intake cause the engine to lean out just enough for it to pop.
