Help - New subaru owner is clueless..
Ive just bought the wrx sti 2005 model - I have a couple of things im not sure about.
The guy at the garage says the prodrive kit will take it up to 320bhp, but all my mates are saying more like 300. Is the salesman lying to me?
Secondly, Im totally unsure which induction kit to go for. Im after a meaty noise (obviously) and lots of bhp gain. Price is not as important.
Can anyone offer help on either question? Thanks in advance!

Fast enough!
If not, Go for the 333 at TSL, but wave goodbye to your warranty!

1) Induction kits can vibrate which in turn can damage the MAF sensor.
2) They tend to suck in the hot air from the engine bay without heat shielding.
3) Uprated panel filters are more than adequate.

Agreed with above................
An induction kit alone will not give much of a gain in bhp (you probably wouldn't notice)
Stick with the Panel filter, IMHO
