Default WRX RA Internals

Hi All,

Does my 2000 v6 WRX RA have the same engine internals as the WRX, cast rods and pistons? Just curious as it has a vf29 which i believe to be the same turbo as the STi. It also has the same power output.

The reason i'm asking is because i want to know what increase it can safely handle?

Thanks, Matt.

Yes it has the same internals as any other wrx of that age.
Power should be good upto around 330-340bhp (but probably not on the vf29)
