Don't **** around with the wrx, save your money and get an sti.

I own a blobeye wagon and have put 2.5k into suspension and brake upgrades without touching the engine. I'll never learn.

some of your prices are a little ott

injectors-£100

3 port boost solenoid-£25 from a classic impreza


vf35-£300

that leaves you enough change for a sti top mount intercooler

the vf35 will give you between 320-350bhp

erm yeah unless a good vf34 comes up but they are more rare so fetch around £400+

my vf35 made 354bhp + 365ftlbs

or you could go with a vf28/vf30/vf22 or a front entry td0516g

The shreksta, I'm not being cocky. What gearbox and clutch are you running as I ll probably go down the same route as you.

I'm aiming for roughly the same enjoyment as my old scirocco tsi with 270-280bhp revo stage 2.
