This is the Shel stuff I use at the moment but OPIE have a wider choice of brands - which includes DOT 3 if needed

5 is different that is silicone based which can affect the seals - 5.1 is different again but similar to 3 and 4 (just with higher temp tolerances) so shouldnt cause any damage to the rubber
yes that is fine - but as you have low fluid check your pad wear (I assume no leaks)
also if it hasnt been changed in a couple of years I would recommend a refresh with new fluid (I myself would go with Dot 5.1 as it has higher temp tolerance than 3)
As you are looking for 350 plus I would look at a replacing the TD04 just so you know the amount of air you need to move will be possible, sorry I cant advise on the engine version combinations other than suggesting a full cdb with an uprated cooling system due to there being less coolant around the heads and possibly a stroker kit allowing you to run slightly less compression to achieve the BHP target
both the Hawkeye and Sharkeye models come with a double din radio, Pioneer , Kenwood plus others do models that will fit - you will probably need an adapter harness to retain the steering wheel controls
Always useful to know where to get great service from
echo the shrooms advice - although I had to cut the fairing panels on my bike to fit them I was much happier getting the bike right over
What a shame - also what a waste of time and effort with the original block - why not just do it properly in the first place.
Maybe putting this right to the spec you want will re kindle the interest / passion??
either way keep us posted :)
The uprated actuator holds the wastegate closed longer which enables a higher boost pressure to be achieved. You can vary the length of the rod and / or have a different weight spring fitted.
forge do an item where you can change the springs to suit giving you that flexibility

as well as a range of adjustable actuators
As long as it has a JASO or API approval on it, fully synth I would be happy - I dont see an issue changing between the weights as you have done particularly with the frequency both are within the Subaru manual range
