Default Advice please

i'm looking at buying a low mileage Impreza P1 within the next month or two. And i know it has blisteringly fast pace and amazing handling but i have been told that you cannot really increase their performance other than adding a stainless exhaust system and uprated air filter, otherwsie they become extremely un-reliable. Is this the case or can they have bigger performance upgrades, ie, like fitting an electronic boost controller and upping the boost a little ? or what else can you do to them and which are the best companies to go to ?

thanks for any info and advice

whose been telling you that rubbish lol..

run it on Optimax or Super Unleaded as a minimum.

It can be remapped to increased boost and move power etc..

Then add loads of other stuff like FMIC's and turbos and it'll be OK as long as you've done your homework and found a reputable tuner.
