Default anyone installed a twin scroll on a UK WRX?

you can now buy a 2nd hand IHI VF37 complete with twinscroll headers, downpipe and uppipe for 1k.

I am currently running a VF24 and all supporting mods on a blobeye WRX and am attracted to the twinscroll for the potential in spool improvement and lag characteristics.

Bearing in mind I could sell my existing headers, turbo and sports cat for about £500+ on a good day, do you think it's worth upgrading?

You will also need the sump, more of a complete rebuild than anything else, not worth doing imho or cheaper just to buy a JDM car with this fitted as standard (and you get the avcs etc with it )
