Whilst it is frowned upon there is an option to get it remapped a have a dpf delete completed. Not exactly mot friendly dependant on where you go though. I would try the higher revs in low gear first though has worked for me in past on other diesels. As mentioned this isnt just a Subaru issue its a diesel motor issue so if you changed to another manufacturer but kept a diesel you will get the same result

An option would be to rent a car trailer £30 a day from hire it by me , it all depends on the quote you get - for me and given your experience so far its about peace of mind against any investment. The engine replacement is a great idea again you can rent engine lift etc and get stuck in - obviously you gamble on that unit as well though... keep us posted as to progress

Wotcha and welcome. There is a remap avaliable for your motor from subaru should release a few ponies. After that start looking at the usual - pipe filter fuel pump etc after that turbo but I dont believe you have forged internals as standard so wouldnt push it past 340 on the standard stuff.

Wotcha and welcome Dean - chassis code will help identify model specifics maybe shine some more light on it?

How far from Sheffield are you - these chaps have a great rep and might be good for a second opinion? http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2221-subaru-servicing-in-sheffield/

Wotcha and welcome - do love a hatch me As you have the 330 it has already had the benefit increasing the standard STI's performance by a remap and a sportier backbox teh remap will have also included the additional parameters to avoid the ringland failure suffered by some of the sharkeyes. If you are running on standard engine internals this is as far as Subaru recommend you go so I would suggest looking at handling - strut brace for the front end, some suspension tweaks to improve the handling - Litchfield does a pack (Bilstein struts and Eibach springs) which lowers the front end by about 10mm firms up the ride a little all around just to provide a better handling car. Only other thing I would consider would be a quicker ratio steering rack combined with the rest of the package you will have something that really hustles. http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/SUBARU/Subaru-Performance-Upgrades/subaru_08_handling

There will be a little drain - the LED's shoudnt have too much of an impact - for shows it should be easy enough to rig up the small battery and have it power the lights etc during the day
-
Marty and Savage have covered it - if you are running that amount of audio equipment I would go for a split charge and additional battery as it means you are not constantly having a full load going from the front of the car to the rear down your main cable a capacitor stores a charge and discharges to 'top up' when needed. what is the wattage rating of you Neons you can work out an approximate discharge time from there. I cant see you getting away from spending some money though with what you describe you want to achieve
