advice on performance upgrade
new to forum and a virgin scooby owner recently bought 51 wrx standerd got full exhaust and k&n induction kit from scooby world £600 but looking in future to try get car running at around 350/400 bhp but just read the 600bhp article and never realised just what was involved and how much money so any advice of where to start and how much it would eventually cost will be most grateful thanks
