Since you're not quite sure on power...what is the car going to be used for?

If its gonna be the car you drive everyday...i say get some handling mods while you continue your research on power.

1. Rear ARB
2. Coilovers or shocks and springs
3. Panhard Rod
4. Replace ALL suspension bushings


A common mod on here done by most people is switching to the TD04 turbo off Imprezas or Evos from dynographs it seems to have a nice delivery of power (not laggy).

Most people get between 220hp-240hp with this conversion. :cool:

Fast Road
Quarter Mile
Track etc.

Are you from the south of the mainland UK or Ireland?

5E is nice for a daily driver and doesn't cost very much to do, also allows larger turbos to be ran with less lag, all plus sides no disadvantages, people say they dont rev out as much but thats rubbish in my opinoin.
