tonight me and a friend of mine decided to test each others cars by racing to 70mph from a standing start on a motorway slip road..
he has the same car as me (2001 WRX) and i was way in front of him and i dont think its all down to the driver..
what i wanted to know is ... are there any scooby "experts" (loosly termed) in the Leeds/ West yorkshire area who would be willing to have a look under my bonnet and tell me if any mods apart from the obvious magnex & VTA dump valve that have been fitted (prior to me owning it)as both cars are s'posed to be factory UK issues .i've only had the car a week and dont really know much about these engines ????
any help appreciated

well.... heres an update:
I've tried to get some more info on my car and found that is has had a superchip fitted with bleed valve, was also told be another scoobyet member that although this will increase the power i should get a boost gauge fitted for safety. as said before i dont know enough about this car to start messing about under the bonnet, could this also be the cause of not very smooth boost ,as suggested by someone else ??
