Default Autobahn or Hybrid?

Is there really that much difference between the two?

I want an FMIC to keep charge temps down. As I understand it WRX engines and UK engines (MY00) are quite similar. Mines had a rebuild at some point but I think standard parts were used (need to check parts list) My WRX RA has a VF29 like the similar aged STI RA. Mines also mapped so I'm thinking that the VF29, the mapping and that the engine isn't a forged piston'd STI engine, I should work on keeping temps low to preserve the engine.

So Autobahn or Hybrid? And wheres the cheapest to get either

Hybrid! Better cores, and generaly better built. Harvey does good prices.

Hybrid is of a better quality.

We are out of stock at the moment but can do you a cracking deal on pre-order if you are not in a rush.
