Nothing on paper to prove but with the spec its at and the fact the 440cc injectors are pretty much maxed out id say between 320-330 (440's are good for approx 350 depending on other factors)

Very smart, I prefer the look of the wagons over the saloons, they're a bit of a sleeper really.

Are there any front mount intercooler kits for the Impreza? Would look really good if you could get rid of the bonnet intake.

Yes i prefered the look of the wagon over the saloons too,seems to negate some of the unwanted attention that these cars can attract from some sections of society,the sleeper tag is warrented to the wagon as they are relativly the same as the saloon bar the ecu mapping on certain varients in standard form.

Front mount intercoolers are available but are not really needed unless power above 350hp is sought,and on the later classics with the suspect maf's keeping the oe airbox is advisable... going front mount would need an aftermarket filter system of sorts
