U wanna get importing kit from Prodrive over here.
Not a scooby fan, but that flat 4 turbo does burble nicly.
WE've just got the new limited edition, can't remember the name, but has around 330-350bhp. In direct competition with Mitsibishi's FQ320 Evo 8.

Just go to www.turboxs.com

local guys, get yourself a turboback, utec, and shorty intake.

Your stock blow off valve will hold till 20+psi. My old wrx had 21psi through the stock Blow off valve, it will whoosh and swoosh with the intake.

bov = no, you'll get tired of it, plus it fucks your fuel after the shift.

listen to dan, do up/downpipe, dont do intake in the event you ever get UTEC(should be your number 3 mod) from there, exhaust, suspension, brands on up and downpipe dont really matter they all unleash about the same power.

If you want to be an idiot, put it on. If you want to keep your WRX, leave it off.

The MAF is expecting so much air. When you have the stock bypass (blow off) valve, it redirects the air into the the intake before the turbo. Because it's a closed system (no loss or gain of air after the MAF) the air fuel ratio will stay the same. If you put a external venting blow off valve in, there is a considerable loss of air when you release the gas while boosting. The computer is expecting more air than is actually going into the motor, and for that half second or so the engine runs rich. While it may not seem like much at first, but over time that will lead to increased carbon build up and poor performance.
