Upgrade to DCCD Widetrack model or bigger turbo?
hi,personally if it was me i would be looking at buying the 1 on pistonheads for the reason i like to make the car my own and if i bought 1 with lots mods i would always think to my self this is someone elses dream car not my own spec,n a car with all that done to it like the gum tree 1 is defo going to have been booted a lot i would say,the piston head 1 has the swooping red gauges the other dont,thats a plus in my book,and another thing,that on gum tree has been for sale for a while i remember looking at it a while ago on autotrader or it was 1 very simeler,and would you really be happy with that 1 when you no you really want the wide track version

MY08 wrx short shifter
this is how to fit the cobb but it is what you would do to fit the japspeed and kartboy as well,much more work then the perrin.the japspeed is not ajustable either so what ever its like when you fit it is what you get.
-
MY08 wrx short shifter
the perrin adaptor is much easyer to install,you dont have to take the gear stick out.so if your not good with macanics then its better for you

Overheating problem
Leave yellow cap closed.i would say 99% its headgasket 1% could be blockage or air in system but sound exact same as my hatch which was the head gasket.you will no for sure with a sniff test Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Overheating problem
When the car is cold open the headertank their will probky be no coolant in it,so fill it back up.thats the tank on top left side engine not your expansion tank on side radiator.start car n let it get to normal tempreture leave the bonnet open and rev car to about 2500 rpm and watch the tank at side radiator see if it over flows.if it does or fills to top its head gasket.exhaust gas is going in coolin system and it push's all coolant out the expansion leavin no coolant or very little to circulate round system so car other heats.harder you rev it more pressue from exhaust goes in n push's coolant out harder.go garage n get it sniff tested to find out for sure.

Overheating problem
when you rev the car if the other flow bottle is filling to the top it is most likely the head gasket,thats what my hatch was doing,exhaust gas going into coolant as you rev it the pressure push's the coolant into the over flow and it erupts like a volcano.is their any sludge in the radiator thats a sign of headgasket gone as well.

MY08 wrx short shifter
never used 1 but i was going to get this for my hatch http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/WRX_Perrin_Short_Shifter_Adapter/SU8_PSP-INR-200_.aspx i would stay away from that on japspeed looks bit of a hacksaw job,cut in half and welded to gether lower down,kartboy get good reviews from the yanks and i follow a couple people on youtube from usa with modded hatch's that have removed the cobb and gone for the kartboy.

GFB Respons bypass valve
Hi here we have a GFB Respons ajustable bypass valve for sale,these retail at £254 this was taken off my 05 blob wrx but fits sti as well,selling for £150 posted. WRX & STI Go Fast Bits Respons Bypass Valve The Go Fast Bits Respons blow-off/bypass valve system for 02-07 WRX and STI is much more than simply a noise maker or a factory valve replacement. The Go Fast Bits Respons valve features the GFB Turbo Management System (TMS),designed specifically for the purpose of turbo lag reduction. Go Fast Bits in-house testing facilities have measured a return to peak boost up to 30% faster between shifts than most factory systems,giving you quicker on-off boost response and faster effective acceleration potential. The Go Fast Bits Response bypass valve features their patented adjustable venting system,allowing you to adjust the sound and vent volume on your valve like a stereo volume control. Vent or recirculate your boost and turn up or down your Respons volume as you see fit! The unique Respons adjustability allows you to fine tune your turbo system for better drivability while still getting the traditional atmosphere venting noise. Leave those little noise makers behind and upgrade to a system tunable to your Subaru without triggering that dreaded check engine light and compromising daily drivability. This is a direct factory replacement kit that includes everything you need for a complete install with no cutting or further modification to your WRX or STI.
