😮 how dare they out rank you,,,,, 🤣

What boost issue are you getting? Typicly front mount pipes only fit in one way. Bear on mind it will need mapping after fitting.

Need to specify what model and year as or varies. Beware cheap coilovers, anything below £700 is gonna be pretty nasty. I've got tein flex z on my hawk and I love them, firm but not crashy. Iirc they were about £1100 fitted, but that was a couple of years ago now so not sure what the current going rate is.

Did the Importer not register it for you?

Sorted, sorry it took a while, had some real life shot going on so couldn't look until now. Should be banned and all posts gone.

do yu know how far it is to your nearest specialist?

4k ish at a guess, but prices are all over the place

try importcarparts, failing that you may have to go aftermarket.

is it this one? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104231722459?make=SUBARU&model=IMPREZA&radius=1500&advertising-location=at_cars&include-delivery-option=on&postcode=de59tu&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&sort=price-desc&page=7

really depends on condition, are the arches rusty, is there ware on the seats, whast the service history like etc etc

looks like a nice drive out

noice noice 😄

4k for a second hand engine? jebus. give scoobyclinic a call, they should be able to advise if the prices your being quote are about the right ball park or if they are just trying to price themselves out of not doing it

could try scoobyclinic up at chesterfield, they can do it all so no one place to another etc

whent he turbo lets go small metal shavings/filings (even though looks ok to the eye) frequently get into the oil, they then get fed to the bearings and cause them to wer and then fail 😞 can you see if you can find a second hand engine? if not then your options are very limited 😞

yeah, cowboy watch haha

just bite the bullet and get it rebuilt, the 2.5 in stock form is a bit of a lemon and you could swap it and it fail 2 weeks later again.

oof, what happened? the sti 6 speed is a propper monster strength wise, seen plenty running well over 600

Could be it was, they do get alot of heat on them so can be damaged when removed.

Depends what your plans are, be aware the 2.5 isnt the most robust engine so you will only be able to ahcieve 300 ish before your pushing the limit. A turbo from an sti (non twin scroll) will be a nice upgrade, but bear in mind above and you may need supporting mods, plus it will need mapping for the turbo.

Was it a like for like swap? COuld be the maf or could be something else, need to plug in and see what the EML is

US version here http://www.sucross.com/

ah, explains the issue then. hmm

impreza is no more in the uk 😞 in america they even released an S209. In fact subaru models in the UK are pretty poor, no more manual gearbox and im not even sure they do any turbo charged cars any more, tis a sorry state of affairs 😞 Add in the success subaru US are having in rally and rallycross and i suspect they will only get bigger over there.

subaru US are much more interested in the owners, Subaru UK have basicly destroyed a fanatical following of the brand. They are more bothered about sponsering horse trials and golf tourneys now rather than motorsport 😞
