New insurance sorted
@Scoobyghost I am the same,i have been with same insurer for last 5 year basically because I don't like talking on the phone and thought wont be much difference in price,but decided to give it a try and Adrian flux came up a good couple hundred cheaper so for me was well worth it to change,makes me wonder how much I could have saved the last 5 year if I had shop't around.

08 impreza wrx hatch help required!!!!!!
Most people just think their like all other imprezas.with throtle body in middle of inlet manifold coming out the back.on the hatch wrx it uses same set up at a 07 forester xt the throtle body come out under inlet manifold and across to passenger side car.then intercooler sits straight on to turbo fastned with 2 bolts and a o ring.vf34 are ok for like bug blob n hawks,but would be a paint on a hatch unless he was fitting a front mount intercooler with custom pipe work,even then may have to make custom oil feed n stuff to fit,if he finds a vf52 from a 2.5 forester xt its a straight swap and his original intercooler will fit straight on to it,vf52 was also fitted to later wrx-s model in usa but not sure if it was fitted to uk version.its basiclly a vf39 but with a flange to bolt intercooler to it.the vf52 is a 320bhp rated turbo thats why i say mine is at its limit at minute,but allready have a plan for the summer to build engine and hit 400 like a guy i follow on youtube.

08 impreza wrx hatch help required!!!!!!
@Niko169 as @kershaw-330s says start with simple mods first,something like a cosworth panel filter or perrin,then look at exhausts,most people go with 3" piping on exhaust but 2.5" pipe is just as good and can cope with upto 350bhp with no problem I was told by cobra exhaust.you wont really see any power gains with the 2 mods until you have it remap't,i would think about upgrading fuel pump before a remap and do your research on who your going to let map it,dont just let anyone because they are close do it,as said a good 280 remap will be much better then a 300 bad remap,also if it done by a cowboy your just going get problems further down the road.you said the car has great servive history but I always give my cars a oil change as soon as I get them,good service history or not,use good oil and a genuine Subaru black oil filter,dont put crap supermarket fuel in it either,its not good for them,use shell vpower if theirs one near you,use crap oil and petrol then expect engine problems.i have just noticed your in Rotherham,if you fancy a drive I live in wombwell your welcome to drop by and give you some pointers.

On standard turbo and stuff your looking at about 270bhp after a remap with performance panel filter exhaust with sport cat if you did not want to decat the car and that would be resonable figure as not pushing engine.mine is at aboutits limit at 320bhp,but i dont mind if it blows give me a reson to build engine.and with right mids i no a guy who wrx runs 400bhp with a built engine.but as i allways say its a sport car.it can break on you in standard form or on max power,or it may never break at all,its pot luck with,them really.thing with the hatch is most things you have read about them breaking if you read it right is talking about the sti,sti had a lot more problems then the wrx or wrx-s models.

Sti suffer ringland,wrx can suffer head gasket going.my first hatch suffered head gasket failure and it was standard apart from a exhaust.make sure its been look after good service history and regular oil changes. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
