Very easy to fit if you have the Impreza wiring harness.
Total waste of money though unless you stay in the middle of a bypass. Everyone else stays in a town/village where the limit is 30 and from the time you are driving it hard to the time you are getting out, the turbo will have cooled.

my friend i live in germany where the speed limit is as fast as your car can go but i live right next to the autobahn so it might be worth while investing

Buy an oil temp gauge instead, IMHO.

Yep, an oil temp gauge is a good investment.

Its amazing how long the oil takes to heat up compared to the coolant. Roughly around 5 miles@60mph (differs from car to car)
I'd have one of these over a turbo timer.
