It's not due plugs yet but won't do any harm to change them while they are accessible. Just incase anyone is wondering about the used turbo, my mate is braking his in a few months and it has a nearly new td05 on that will be going on mine along with a remap so don't want to splash out on a new turbo only to remove it in a few months and have it sat in my garage.

Thanks guys, yes it's a wrx. It's all stripped down now. Never known bolts to be so tight. I will check out the oil pipes while it's stripped and order all new nuts and copper washers for the oil feed. What a pig of a job just to get the up pipe off. On the hunt for a decent used turbo now. Thanks for the help

So two weeks into impreza ownership my up pipe let's go and makes iron fillings out of my turbo. I wanted to put a straight through uppie on anyway just didn't expect to replace the turbo at the same time. Can anyone suggest any other parts worth changing while it's stripped that our prone to failure. Thanks from a scooby noob.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I will post a few pics tomorrow. It will take a bit of getting use to though considering my last car was a landrover. Thanks again guys, much appreciated.

Evening folks. Alan from Liverpool ways, just got a 2001 impreza wrx. It's a bit chavtastic at the min because the last owner put a massive aftermarket wing on. It came with about 6k worth of receipt's, full history and 80k on the clock. Also has a recirculating dv, coilovers,tracker. Now I am off for a good route around the forum :)
