shame cant really blame her though

great I taped it ;)

when was it aired??

A bargain there for someone

they keep the turbo spinning on gear changes so there is overall less opposing pressure forces acting on the turbo - which is a good thing. you wont get a genuine brand new HKS for 30 quid thread on how to tell http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5234-hks-ssqv-dump-valve-real-or-fake/

the centre is not a bad option as you get to keep the backbox you like for style reasons

Wotcha and welcome - yup a vid may help

the big wings are a straight swap as with other imprezas, a test drive beckons ;)

Wotcha and welcome

thats a nice bit of boost you have there - interested to see the post JGM figures :)

great post - I didnt think the sound was that ott - now you have sorted the scuffing try it with the same box but take a replacement in the boot just in case next time - easy enough to change over in the pits ;)

Wotcha and welcome

oh yes very tedious - particularly as the the horizon still comes flying towards you at the same speed :D

Good luck with the sale Luca - they will definitely help with under bonnet temperatures

The prodrive kit tends to be an air filter remap and sports back box - it can also include an uprated fuel pump - the turbo would be untouched as part of that kit http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_2.0_2001-2002_Performance_Pack_SACC2523 I would say you have a TD04 on at the moment - Gambit et al will probably be along shortly to confirm that. When you say upgrade your turbo what are you looking for as you can get an equivalent size but better quality turbo with lower resistance internals which will reduce spool up time or are you going for more power - if so there may be other options you could consider before bolting on a bigger turbo in isolation.

good upgrade - would make a nice how to thread - hint hint ;)

Really sorry to hear you did end up with HG failure - Would be good to put some business this chaps way so if he would like to join the forum or have some contact details in a separate thread more than happy to make that happen

looking good!!

I would go for the bailey - they wont do any damage but some cars don't like dump valves so dont run as well. The HKS looks like it needs a good service anyway so that would mean more money - also I cannot tell from the pictures if it is genuine or not so I would avoid

great to hear you are on the way to fixing it :)

nice one - very jealous, looking forward to the photos!!!

it means discrete so same power and brakes etc as normal wrx or sti but smaller spoiler or no spoiler on boot

check your top mount on the suspension strut - a long shot but whilst you are poking around ;)

No it should only be mods and boxed section that you have restricted access to - we have had issues like this before 1st questions asked are, what browser are you using and are you logged in?

Wotcha and welcome - by doing this you may well be hiding a real issue - I would find out if it is the 3 port at fault first
