Hi have a 1995 classic wagon 2.0 turbo UK spec, i have started to add some performance parts but I have a few questions

I have fitted an HKS induction kit, Decat exhaust (turbo back) and an ECU chip all bought on a popular auction site,whilst I have much greater acceleration and the car runs great I have a flat spot around 90 MPH and it struggles a little

1, should I get my car on a rolling road, would I feel any difference what should I expect to pay? is there anyone reputable in the midlands?

2, I want to service my car, what oil should I use and can any one recommend sparkplugs would something like NGK Platinums do or should I spend the extra and get iridium??

3, My mate has recommended fitting an oil cooler and a bigger intercooler, would this be recommended and would this be of any benefit?

4, Finally, I want to keep an eye on what the engines doing, what gauges should I be getting is there something that will do the lot or do I need to by individual gauges IE boost oil temp/pressure etc etc?

Gauges boost,oil temp,oil pressure imo there are so many gauges out there have a quick look on ebay.

Oil cooler and bigger tmic waste of time ,imo,unless you're going to raise bhp and boost.

Rolling road would be a good idea (normally about £50 depending on whrer you go) for a health check.

Oil wise i think 10w40 is the norm al;though my garage uses 10w60 RS

spark plugs wise PFR7B or PFR6B (think these ones for standard cars running standard boost) from NGK

Thanks for that advice, I do want to raise the BHP and boost, what would be the most I could hope to get out of a 'standard' engine and what other things could I do?

The most isn't always the best.
i've got a 260bhp 93wrx and it's a lot of fun, may go for more may not.
Get it to a rolling road to see what the chip has done to your boost and bhp figure (and fuelling etc).
Pretty sure you've got 2 pot front brakes which are ****e, you could upgrade pads,discs,fluid and hoses or fit a set of 4 pots from a later model impreza (with pads etc uprated).

Then see how you like that.
