Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Wotcha and welcome - if you have addressed the exhaust flow look at hi flow filters for the air on the way in then get it mapped to suit. from then its looking at increased fuel supply, FMIC, larger turbo, uprated internals, flowed heads, uprated clutch, brakes and chassis components (bushes ARBs etc) and cooling system. You could look at the handling side first and increase power to weight ratio by lowering the weight sorting brakes and suspension then with the same power you could be moving a lot quicker?

Scooby Pete Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Swapping out the up pipe is pretty easy, just a bit fiddliy to get to some of the nuts on the turbo/down pipe off. For a 1st timer I reckon about 3 hours max. I wrote a quick how to here.... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5057-is-it-time-consuming-to-fit-a-new-downpipe/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
