Assuming the STI turbo is a TD05 should get more than 300?

Shame they never brought the STI variant to the UK.

If it has been parked up for a while it could something as simple as a brake caliper sticking. When i had a caliper sticking it felt like I had 5 folk in my car along with a boot full!

Any brands to go for or does it not really matter with car batteries?

I personally use Varta and I've never had issues with them

I've always found euro car parts to be good, they always seem to have a sale on

What colour is the smoke? I take it that the smoke is only coming out of the exhaust?

I bet you can squeeze an EJ in there...

No, there is no cat in the headers. Only the up pipe, down pipe and then a cat pipe. Altho I think the last cat in the system is removed in a PPP system... don't quote me on that tho

Looks brand new!

That's potential sign of a head gasket failure. How are the coolant levels? Any overheating?

I've seen a few members use the cross climates and I've not heard 1 complaint. 

Yeah it will fit

Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Perhaps put the coil packs back on the wrong way around?

I had a slip jointed up pipe on my WRX, bought it from @savage bulldogs. Put some fresh heat wrap on it and it worked perfectly fine. Could hear it ever so slightly blowing on really cold days but stops after a minute or so. 

Slip joints should seal up when the exhaust is up to temperature. Was it blowing all the time?

How would you feel if you are pushing you r baby stroller with a 4 month infant and some ******* with a subaru popping exhaust and your child shakes and cry like crazy??????????????

First thing I would do is check your cabin filter, if it's clogged that could be the source of your issues

Yikes! Had a rad pipe just come off?

I'm in Crossgates, but don't have a Scoob... had to sell it a while ago 😞

What kind of power are you expecting/hoping for?

Build a garage instead of a extension it's much cheaper 😉

 then tell the Mrs that you've spent £6.8k  of the money you saved on a bug sti to put in it 😋

*buys many lottery tickets*

If I wasn't planning on doing an extension to my house I would be all over that bug!

Can't offer any advice I'm afraid but curious as to who is doing your build?
