As yours appears to be a JDM model (S/Tb), it will already have a TD04 as standard, as it comes with the equivalent year WRX engine (so big cams compared to UK cars).

It was apparently running a vf41 before I bought it mate but they've put the standard turbo back on to my annoyance... So sourcing a vf35 to chuck on now with supporting mods to give it more.

First thing i did was begin to tidy up the headlights as they were starting to look a little faded.

Plans are for wheel, tyre, suspension changes and an exhaust change then we will see where it goes from there.

According to the spec sheet it should be fitted with HID headlights which will have a D2R bulb (item6) for dip and an HB3 (item 1) for main.
Usual problem with HID's is the ballast (item 24) mounted under the headlight fills with water long before the bulb goes.
