Hi everyone I'm new to Subaru , for years I've

Been Vw all the way but looking around there seems to be some cheap motors

Out there . My budget would be upto 2grand no more

And I fancy a sports wagon estate the bit of resurch that I've done has pointed to the uk

Turbo are these anygood ? The insurance group looks better,

Is the car tweekable ?

And thanks in advance for the help . Cris

Wotcha and welcome Cris

insurance varies so shop around but Adrain Flux will give members on here a discount

tweekable - ooooh yes here is a recent example and it just so happens it is up for sale

^^^^ What Jay said ;) 

And welcome to S.O.C 

Hey up I picked one up it's a 1998 turbo 2000 but so I'm told a wrx motor , can anyone tell me what difference the wrx motor is ??

So I'm also told the car has all the ancillarys from the original motor , so my plan was to change pipe for something with a bit of sound but not to much , some advice on that please as in what are options ??? Maybe secondhand ?? after that I need some advice on what's the best to pull a bit more punch .. As a foot note the cars still got original ecu the bloke said !! Do I need to change this ?

Cool guys and thanks for the advice in advance

i have a uk turbo 2000, i was also into my my vag until recently, the wife still has a mk4 golf, i have a good friend from mossley he now lives just on the boarder in stalybridge, he was into his vag also and has since bought a bmw and a focus st

 

mods wise a decat is a good option to free the gasses, a version 4 can be mapped iirc, if you check the turbo if it's a wrx i believe they used the td05 unit whereas the uk 2000's used the o4, the o4 is good for about 300bhp whereas the 05 is about 450, andrew carr is a well know mapper, he does a live map to suit your driving, he takes you out with him in the passenger seats and gives you instructions and you give him the feedback untill your happy with the way it go's, also most parts can be bought from a subie specialist not too far from me called cams
