WRX UK 52 reg, Advice needed please
HI, Can anyone advise please.
I have had a 5dr UK WRX from new and am looking to gain a bit of power. I have just bought a Prodrive Performance Kit second hand, which is short of an air filter. Which filter should I go for? I have heard that some of the oil based ones cause problems and that I should go for an STi one? I have at present got a nearly new Sti rear box and an aftermarket mid section on....can i leave the mid section fitted? (Hayward and Scot i think??) I've also seen that sometimes the ECU needs to be reset...is this done at a dealer or is it somthing I can do? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks Paul B |

if warranty is no problem, I think the best thing you can go for is
de cat downpipe de cat centre + back box of your choice (more noice than any thing ) sti filter ecu tek I also have a set of Equal length header and the honest difference is 5 th gear now feels like 4th used to ( im for ever going down the motor way in 4th by mistake :) ) |
