The early pumps are a pita. The o-ring under the res leaks, easy to fix. The o-ring's only £1 from subaru, worth a try first for that money!

Fitting the squarer MY97>00 PAS pump/res assy is a good idea imo..

Should you want to, you can then fit a ph.1.5 MY97/98 inlet manifold and go under it for the direct, straight intake to the turbo - the later PAS pump's position allows the hose to fit!

The PAS/IM/intake mod is worth doing if you intend to mod beyond 350bhp (although it's good to do it for any modding level, if you can be bothered...)
