Hybrid: it's a no brainer for a classic.

You will need to buy an induction kit, and also a DV adapter.

The kit will otherwise be complete, but you'll need a professional to fit it for you as some cutting is required.

speak to Ringo at Triton when you pop down there as he has 1 fitted (albeit to a 98 car).
They can supply the intercooler and other bits for you but i'm not sure if they will be as cheap as someone like Harvey or aztecperformance.

Take the headers off and you will see 4 holes (obviously) and basically you can grind away to make the holes larger therefore the exhaust gases can escape quicker this will help reduce spool up time.

AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC - HYBRID Front Mount Intercoolers (FMICs) :: HYBRID GT2 SPEC FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER KIT - GC8 IMPREZA

Not just "half decent" though, but the first choice for many tuners and people in the know
