Turning an aspirated engine in a turbocharged one
I would say the engine swap would be the easiest way than building your's into a turbo engine at least it was built to take the turbo that's how I look at it anyway. I think the EJ20 would fit but wiring loom would need changing too I believe, but don't hold me to that someone might know better than me. and be able to give better advice than me :)

Newbie needs advice
Have you checked you coolant fluids checked for airlocks. ? I would change the fluid too just incase, can you hear the fans come onto. Sorry just read the other posts :D the needle on mine sit's below half only ever seen it go over half way once when I was on a track day.

gauging interest
I had mine almost in the same place didn't like them there always seemed in the way to me and wasn't that easy to see. But the pod does look better designed than being drilled and screwed on. And I set the CarPC up with the OBDII reader works pretty well but doesn't give boost or oil temp/pressure. So gauges would still be needed :(

Subaru XV D SE Picked up today (21-12-13)
The forester is a good all round car so I've heard from people on here ask Farmpug he ditched his offroad and it's still driving :D

New STI??
I agree with both does look like the Evo but I do like it better than the WRX by miles. Still a shame they didn't go more the the prototype look but think it looks nice.

I would be happy to won one I don't mind the wheels. But I don't like that Orange. It's like the Focus RS. I don't like them Green ones <_<

Autoguard Tyres?
Sounds like a good plan to me I like Yokohamas. I've just started to use Falkens for the 1st time seem a bit noisy but very impressed with them at the minute wet or dry.

Decat vs sports cat
That's harsh :( I have had a Copper admire my car had a look around it but was looking at the car didn't look at the tyres or anything was stood talking to me for a bit about car's then showed me on his computer he had been doing 132mph down the A16 Some of them are alright just when you get the jobsworths Like this young copper on a power trip. I went to a cash point to get some cash out whilst I was stood there this woman was sat on the floor screaming help up the road reaching out towards passing car's. So when I got back in my car I was driving past thought I would stick my head out the window and ask if she was ok it was around this time of year. I nearly never stopped but thought she really might need help, anyway cut a long story short. I got out the car to help pick her up and she hobbled over to my car, I thought just to lean on she had hurt her ankle but just climbed straight in and got in the passenger seat. Turn's out she had come over here from Canada to meet a guy in Leeds I still not sure how she managed to end up in Grimsby and a **** hole area but was drunk cold and wet with a bit of blood on her face. So now I'm stood there with this Canadian woman in the car not knowing what to do I said she had to get out but was not moving told me just to get in and drive, she was not ugly to be fair. So I thought I will take her to the Hospital with being hurt but she said no to that so I said I would take her to the police station she didn't want to go there either but I was going there anyway, by this point she was rubbing my leg -_- and started to try take her wet top off (I kid you not) Pulled up outside the police station she started screaming saying she had left her purse with her passport on the floor so I knew she needed that so shot back to where I first found her no sign's of it. I'm panicking now as I was only going to the shop I knew my missus would be wondering where I was. So went round to the police station again. Pulled up she started screaming and shouting when I told her wouldn't get out the car, so I went in to tell the receptionist that I have an unknown woman in my car from Canada refusing to get out my car while the hole time she's honking my horn. So these two coppers come down after about ten minutes an older one and a young one the older one was fine told him exactly what had gone on. then with that the young guy started going on at me asking why was I picking her up almost accusing me of kidnap or something making out like I should be arrested, so I started to get a bit mad with the young copper think the older one new basically told him to wind his neck in. took them about 15 minutes to get her out my car and to this day I still never knew what happened to her. But anyway went a bit off topic there in true S.O.C style :D If you have to keep putting a cat on for the MOT and the police are pulling you over and checking I'd go with a cat. Even though I love the sound of them without it setting off car alarms as I drive past

Decat vs sports cat
I'd say if you are getting pulled... Legal limit is the only way mate :( To be safe. My MOT tester that will allow anything that is safe so turbo back fine. But my advise is play it safe if people are getting pulled for it your an easy target. :( stick with the rules for now :(

Subaru XV D SE Picked up today (21-12-13)
Very nice I must admit I'm starting to like these XV's I'd still look at getting the bonnet trim like Dogconkers, I'd even look at a white one to make it stand out :D

Autoguard Tyres?
From having a read up they are not great. But I guess it will depend on how you drive, they are meant to have links with Pirelli so at least if anyone asks you can tell them that :D
