Plans for the new Sti

[Bartop]

After swearing I wasn't gonna do anything with this one I'm afraid the bug has bitten again and plans are afoot.

Had the car dyno'd a couple of weeks after I got it and it made 330 bhp and 340 torque - slightly disappointing tbh given the spec of the car so have the following bits ready to go on this weekend..

APS Top Mount Intercooler
APS Turbo Up Pipe
Samco Turbo Inlet Hose
Samco Airbox Hose
Perrin equal length Tubular headers ceramic coated by Zircotech
Lateral Performance MD321T Turbo
PE 650cc flow matched injectors
Defi BF Guages
Then a remap by Bob Rawle..

Should be good for an easy 400 bhp 450 torque with relatively low boost but headroom there should I want to go more later for around 450 / 480..

Pic of the car below and full spec..Comments welcome !

Sounds great!
Lovely car.

Looks great.

Have you thought above removing the rear spoiler? or at least swapping it for a smaller one. I've seen a few pics recently and really like the look personally.

[Bartop]

Thanks for the comments

I used to have the low level carbon fibre spoiler like the one on the spec c on a previous scooby which I really liked so could be tempted by one of those again possibly.
Not a fan of the standard WRX ironing board spoiler or the no spoiler 'Taxi cab' look favoured amongst some in the US for example

Agreed........if you replaced the rear spoiler it would be much more subtle. I really like your style, less bling and more fling!!!

Subtle....... a WR Blue Subaru... never gonna happen is it

[restoman]

I fully appreciate the attraction of these but they are damn ugly aren't they...

[Graebob]

I love scoobies when they look like what they were designed for; annihilating rally stages. Yours looks exactly like that. Thus, it is awesome

[TCEvo]

that looks ing cool mate, well done

[flattotheboards]

400bhp it will be an animal then.
