Oil change intervals for a petrol Xv?
While warranty is valid i would suggest doing them as per the book (i'll ask me dad next time i see him what it says, his is a 2.0 petrol). although i do think manufactures are rather liberal with the truth about how long oil lasts before it needs changing. Turbo'd cars 5k or 12 months.

New wrx owner in search of more ponies
your gonna be limited by your gearbox, you can pick up a second hand vf35 from an sti for a few hundred for a decent one, if your feeling a bit more flush then an sc36 is hard to beat at that power level.

welcome. oil temp, oil pressure gauges hard to fit? Get a pro to do, it involves routing wiring etc, can be done DIY but you need to be good with the spanners injectors what cc is the best upgrade ? wont need to of your targets does fuel rail/pump need upgrading ? fuel pump is needed, walbro 255 or equivelant worth upgrading to 10mm ignition leads iridium plugs? ignition leads nope, plugs yes, pf7's also does anyone know a reputable gearbox re conditioner or would you suggest just gambling on buying a box as she has a grind into 4th when giving her death. I use scoobyclinic for all my work. is a electronic boost controller worth the gamble? or not worth it until turbo upgrade? nope, ecu controls the boost, no need even when upgrading the turbo best time for remap ? (after fitting what parts?) yes, no point in mapping then fitting parts as will need the map tw3eaking turbo timer worth it? nope, just drive it steady last few miles before you park up, much better for the car as it keeps fluid circulating so they cool evenly hope that helps :) p.s.. your limit is going to be the turbo, anything over 260 is a bonus.

2007 STI Limited
So bit more of an update. Slight delay due to what appears to be a faulty rod. Crank/rods were mock assembled to check tolerance and the rod bolts seized. Very strange as they have used the same method for hundreds of other rods and a replacement set for mine and no issues :S So short blocks is ready to go 😄
