P.s. Twin scroll Blob with just a exhaust/remap mods would give you a run for your money on a track, against the spec you have now buddy.

uk 2005 blob yes has a better spec widetrack but bug and early blob never had the dccd gearbox and you are saying that a standard twin scroll turbo is as good as a md321t turbo mantazini you was last in my car when it was just remaped 330/340bhp i do have over 400bhp yeah well we will see at snetterton ricky you have got something to live up to now

True .... forgot to add that one.....

You see bud, power is not everything .... You will be a tad faster on the straights, but corners will , who's got the better suspension setup and drivers ability , thats the biggest factor IMO. Alot of people are chasing numbers, instead of improving their drivers skills , as only a couple subtale mods could maker more usable and faster car than you think

I think i need to take you in my fridge one evening ....

It will be interesting to see the difference between the two as mine is running just 340bhp and on std shocks and springs.

i have read nothing in this thread that makes me wanna put mine up for sale and go looking for a low mileage jap import and you seam to forget what the P1 and WR1 stand for WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP WINS i love all impreza's from the individuality of the moded look ones to the limited run ones they are all impreza flat four boxer engine motor cars and you can make all of them go as fast as eash other

Snetterton is a track day guys, not a race day
We have a very good relationship with MSV and don't want to lose it
Racing and timing is forbidden

Its a little banter mate, don't take it to seriously. I'm not driving like crazy . And i've got more to lose nowadays as well . Being mad on the streets doesn't show your driving skill. We push our car sometimes here and there thats all.

Buddy we all know what they stand for, all i'm saying that in the standart form JDMs are better speced, have more tuning potential. Just in the standart form, as these days most of us have something done to our cars , as your self, we cant really compare them anyomore. It all depends on a driver now. At the end of the day we all have different criterias when buying cars and we get what we think is good for us. Enjoy it to the full potential my friend....on a track

Honest opinion: not at this spec - 2.0l + GT35 is going to be quite laggy. Coming from a twinscroll where its the opposite great pick up and response - yeah you would get a good hit from a GT35 but you would have to alter driving style to accommodate - wrong gear and you are screwed. On standard wheels, brakes and suspension aswell so you are going to spend a fair whack there to bring it up to spec IMO.

I had a GT before and they are good but nothing on the RA-R
