What do i do now
Oh I nearly died twice in that car, forgot to mention the brakes were about as good as the clutch and required pumping to make the car stop. If that didn't work a handy lamppost or stationary car would have have stopped the car and very nearly did :D

What do i do now
WhanI was younger back in the 90's I had a real rust heap of a mini Clubman that I had run into the ground, it was so bad you could reach through the floor in the boot and touch the pavement, also the exhaust leaked really badly and carbon monoxide filled the cab after about 20 mins of driving. Lastly the clutch was so bad you had to pump it like the brakes to get any presure to move the clutch. The car was a death trap so I took to a scrap yard for scraping. 2 weeks later saw it on the side of the road for £450 with a 6 month MOT!!!! Uness they did a full resto that car didn't have ahope of passing, so they must have done a dodgey MOT for it to sell on. Hope no one bought it.

Big Dredd Fan here read the comics as a kid. Suffered through the Stallone 90's Dredd. Loved Karl Urbans Dredd, pretty much just lifted him off the comic book page. Got him Spot on. It's a travisty that crap like Hansel and Grettle, Saw, Final destination get sequels and Dredd doesn't. If you want a dredd sequel click the link below and sign up. If you don't want a sequel click and sign up anyway. www.2000adonline.com/dreddsequel

Where's min and max
I have tought about getting some of this: http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/Powersports.html Coolant you dont nned to change also has higher boiling point and a lower freezing temp.
-
Where's min and max
Your right Bouncer. It's an expansion tank not a header tank so it shouldn't be full of water when cold. Best way to refill is use about 7.5 litres of coolant to refill.

This is going to sound stupid but if i don't ask i won't know
I know it has hill start but that lights up when in use :p, I'm not talking about hills or even multistory car parks. I'm talking about stopping at junctions and lights with slight inclines, when stopped I ease off the brakes and the car stays where it is. The cars take a lot to get them moving have you ever tried to push yours on your own? The resistance in the drive train is enough to hold the car on slight inclines.

I have found that the car doesn't roll as much as RWD and FWD cars. I have sat on a few gentle slopes with out rolling. Not a great idea though really should use the hand Brake :)

I have a list! Fuel pump/ manifold/ and while we're at it BOV
Are the Turbos sequential? Ie one goes to full Boost then the other takes over or do they work in Tandem? Reason I ask is if they work in Tandem puting a BOV on one Turbo and not the other may unbalance the system and mean the one with the BOV won't spool up as quickly as the Recirc one???? I may be talking Poodoo???

Is it feasable to put a standard back on a stainless system
If you have all the top mounts bits great its easy, but if you don't you'll need quite a few bits. Brackets, top mount, y pipe, dump valve adapter or recirc + piping. Then theres the cut out in the bumper and holes in that allowed the fmic pipes through. Maybe it's just me? Seems a lot of hassle to return to stock, when if you don't like the car that much, sell it and get one more to your liking. But then I can't be arsed with all the crawling around under the car these days. Which is why mines stock :D

A few pointers, Looking to buy an Impreza
Yeah nothing to add really gambits covered most of it. Good luck with the search, there's plenty of modded ones running more BHP out there, just check the club forums like scoobynet, SDIC etc.

Is it feasable to put a standard back on a stainless system
If you did that may need a remap aswell as all the standard bits, still if you sold all the bits you'd make a decent profit, however swapping out the FMIC for a top mount is a lot work and a lot of bits. I wouldn't bother tbh, just swap the back box 1st get a remap and see how it goes before stripping the rest. I ran a full decat and big bore exhaust, on my 95 WRX, I swapped the back box for a Prodrive ppp back box and it was fine like that, a lot quiter and more sociable both inside and outside of the car :)

Boost Gauge Issues
Here is a pic of the instal. I turned the black thingy 90 deg as it wouldn't fit with it straight on.

Boost Gauge Issues
I'm guessing that the black filter thingy is actually a directional valve or something and I must have plumed in to the input side or something.
