Its more like what is the same, the MY03/04 cars come in 3 basic guises, the KL (or povity spec) STI, avoid, the GL (standard STI spec, has all the goodies you want) and the Spec C.
If you look at the GL v the standard UK STI then your looking at engine is 80% mechanically different to the uk one with stronger (and better oil feed to the bearings) on the JDM, quick rack steering, rear wash wipe, folding electric mirrors, higher revving engines, stronger gearboxes (some components are upgraded over the UK cars making them more robust), A-DCCD (not on the KL or the quick rack, hence avoid), rear privacy glass and a host of other small things like the back lighting on the dials which look better than the UK ones (and rear light clusters).
It really is a no brainer, JDM wins hands down

I've owned both, jdm widetrack and type uk single scroll, and I have to say the type uk feels like a better car. gear ratio, turbo it is quicker, fact. this "jdm" ethos is absolute garbage, until someone can show me actual figures on performance over a type uk I'll refrain from judgement.
For reference:
MY 05 Impreza Wrx Sti
350bhp

Bryan, your saying that the “fact” the single scroll turbo is faster than the twin scroll, but your refraining from commenting..... then say you have a 350bhp UK single scroll which means you don’t have a factory mapped car, so it’s hardly Apples for apples.
Not trying to offend, but I don’t understand.
