just been comparing photos from when i first got the scooby to now and its not until now that ive realised what an improvement the engine bay is haha, forgot how little room there was in the original engine bay haha, as for completion date trials it should be up and running by the end of summer then just testing the car until events start poping up in 2012, just saving up for the RCM twisted turbo kit, was just going to go for GT30 but after speaking to olly clark he recommened the GT35 for my engine spec

update time, just been on with the wiring really, have got most of the ground points sorted out now and have been tidying up the wiring in the engine bay and behind the dash, beginning to wire up my gauges and switch panel now so there is going to be a new clutter of wires behind the dash on the up side though I now have a set of headers, twisted up and down pipe and a garrett GT3582R to go on, just waiting on heat wrap and gaskets before I can fit them

Cheers guys

small update the electronic power steering pump is plumbed in and wired up after a small problem with the lines being crossed... woops only thing doing this project by myself, ive got no one else to blame haha. Anyway lines have been pressure tested and fire sleeves have been fitted so now I can properly mount the uppie and ive ordered the rest of the fittings for the turbo so once they come I can get the turbo bolted up

Just want to know what you guys think but the past week or so ive been debating whether to facelift or not? I think ive seen that many facelift impreza's now that I just want something different so might be keeping the pre-facelift, dont know yet though
