Is yours an imported Forester then, or has it already been tweaked? Or is that what the 'stb' signifies?
Isn't 240bhp would be more thasn adequate in a Forester anyway?

More power is never enough.....
The stb is 240 bhp std in Japan, whilst the UK version has 170 bhp.
I understand that the engine comes in two forms in the Far East, the Impreza WRX with 280 and Wagons with 240. My Forester has the later engine.
I was just curious if anyone knew what was the difference. Is it just a modified chip or something more substantial like a different turbo and pressure set up.
I won't go to 280 until I have sorted out the grip situation. The tyres are plainly inadequate but there isn't a lot of choice. I will probably end up getting the 17" wheels on the new Scooby.
