Not my cup of tea lol, but the guys at revolution247 are very helpful and will generally give an objective opinion even if that means not selling the item.

Indeed, if you want to have no running issues then leave the standard item on.

If you go with a VTA then you will have grief at some stage.

Thats a Golf, not an Impreza. totally different car and engine.

To the O.P., you're just wasting money unless the standard re-circ valve is knackered. Why give your Scoob a reason to run crap and waste £100+ on the pleasure

I've had the Forge VTA on mine for the last 2 years, absolutly zero issues. Forge themselves are extremly helpful and recently sent me a full service kit FOC.
I have however just removed it, and now run with no DV at all. As i said, not through any running issues, just because i fancy a change.

In my experience i would only ever fit a OE recirc or a Forge.

Do not buy a Bailey, i have seen sooooo many issues with them.
