3. Do i need a boost gauge? do you want one?
4. What does a turbo timer do? turns the engine off after a preset time to allow the turbo to get oil circulation, thus cooling
5. Is bp ultimate as good as optimax? NO
6. It has a heat shielded induction kit, dump valve and decat pipe, is this all ok? should be ok, get a knock link
Thanks in advance,

1, Is a 94 wrx import faster than a uk car?
yes, a standard uk car
2, When i finish driving how long should i leave engine running for?
A hard run, a minute or two, or just drive off boost for last part of journey.
3. Do i need a boost gauge?
not really, whatever floats your boat
4. What does a turbo timer do?
the basic ones keep the engine running when keys taken out of ignition. More expensive models have different features
5. Is bp ultimate as good as optimax?
I only use Optimax, sure the jury is out on this, I would think on balance optimax the safer bet
6. It has a heat shielded induction kit, dump valve and decat pipe, is this all ok? Yep I suppose. Only on later models were the above a problem. There *might* be a case for uprating the ecu to better control the fueling, but ill leave some1 who knows more on this to tell you
Thanks in advance,

Thanks to everyone that answered, it is all a bit new for me. Before buying a car was just buying a car, but i want to give the scooby the respect it deserves. It seems there is so much to learn. I have been on here everyday to try and get up to speed but i really needed those specific questions answering.
