from a fitment and performance perspective it is their equal - they may weigh slightly less so if you are in a stripped out light weight that would mean something but given there is very little to the afterburner I don't thing you would be able to tell in a normal car. As mentioned before Scooby world are good to talk to - when I have spoken to them in the past they have been very helpful, check these out http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_53 for what you want / need I would go for the afterburner product and spend the money saved on a session with JGM or an alternative as you may find to take full advantage additional expense may be needed on servicing injectors, replacing / uprating fuel pump and air filter

looking good - will make a great car for someone

clearly articulated by Dave - nuff said

Awesome shots!!

not used one myself :(

great way to do a project instead of hunting bit by bit, looking good so far :)

Do you have some photos you could share?

it can be done however the cost of individual parts plus time to complete the job outweighs buying a turbo model model in the first instance. So if you want to do it purely for the challenge feel free to create a new project thread and you will get lots of help and encouragement :)

the circumference of the wheel and tyre combination - so if the wheel increases in diameter the profile (sidewall) of the tyre needs to reduce in size to maintain the OEM diameter size and therefore circumference

Wotcha and welcome!!

looking good there - Im interested to see just how much oil ends up in those tanks after a few miles - just how much gets blown out of the breathers. Quick question what are you using to fabricate the mounting brackets?

Silicone - good way to go unless fitting FMIC of course ;)

HTA Autos arch trims - they suggest sanding to blend with a non widetrack bumper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-STi-WRX-01-07-Rear-Wide-Wheel-Arch-Trims-Mouldings-PU-Plastic-/310805499182?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item485d738d2e

this bumper looks like it would blend with the arches http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIT-RACING-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-05-07-STI-ING-REAR-BUMPER-/161265412400?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item258c2ae930

after some digging - it does indeed look like they are different and the lips do fit flush with the bumper - there is also a trim line that follows within the moulding between the arch and the bumper - the examples I have seen also look like the runners / side skirts are different also. got this info from this link... http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/50525/subaru_impreza.html Over and above the established Spec C chassis, the 2005 chassis has a 15mm wider rear track and wider rims (up from 7.5 to 8.0in) with wider-spaced mounting bolts. This increase in what is technically known as Pitch Circle Diameter from 100 to 114.3mm comes as a result of fitting larger, stronger roller bearings for better wheel control. Also, 114.3mm is a more commonly used PCD that allows a wider choice of wheel for those rallying the WRX in Group N. some wide track wheels http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-onward-Subaru-Impreza-Speedline-Corse-17x8-Alloys-Wide-Track-5x114-in-Gold-/171336310049?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru|Cars+Type%3A2.0+WRX+STi|Model%3AImpreza&hash=item27e4709d21

glad you got the sale - no need to be a stranger, keep us posted on how the family is doing ;)

Great - keep us informed, oh and welcome to the forum by the way

Wotcha and welcome - sounds like you have the makings of a great little project thread already - feel free to browse, share pictures and generally get involved. I cant help you with your questions but we have a few Berkshire members who may know of local trades who have a decent reputation :)

ooooh cant wait - looks like time well spent

looking good - after going back to the original photos I see what you have had sprayed - I thought you were going to have the mesh colour coded to match Doh!!

looks like a fantastic day had by all

Wotcha and welcome - looking forward to seeing those pics :)

Wotcha and welcome!!

Here we go - just over half a minute in and I'm lumpy :D

looking good - now as one salivating gear head any chance of some moving pics capturing the engine note? :P
