Hi there,
When you say "Upgrade" what do you mean? sorry not being pedantic or anything but do you want more power? interior upgrades? suspension?etc
Are you doing this yourself or do you have abit of cash to splash .
API Impreza are a good company to talk to if you want some good helpful advice & upgrades.
Sounds like your Impreza's got a good start though so far. Has it been re-mapped/chipped or anything? Having it mapped would really help unleash it's potential and it's best to have it set up for UK fuel.

hi i'm looking for more power probably about 300bhp, these will be gradual upgrades month by month to finally finish off with a full respray, i've used scooby clinic since i've owned scoobies this being my second since january i have no idea how to do things on cars dont want to do more damage
been told my cars not remappable and would bennefit from a polar chip, but dont no if i need to upgrade anything before, i've got new plugs and packs and the fuel pump to fit and a oil leak at the front which will consist of a new cam belt,
out of interest can you change the standard ecu to a remappable 1 if so how much roughly would that cost,
as said breaks are shocking but again don't no wats wat, thanks for helping

I would do as much as you can before any re-mapping. It will save you money in the long run as you don't want to keep paying for re-mapping fees .
Edit; Just had a thought, if you are after some cheap parts I've bought a few from this guy on here who is breaking his car. He's been very reliable I've found. Quick delivery & great comms. This is the thread title below, have a look as lot's of his parts would fit your car...great for money saving mods.

(It's in the For Sale items, parts & accessories I think)

I had Zen fit the esl and map sensor, they supplied both. Also as above, Jolly Green Monster(JGM) on here does it, and he'll come to you.
The injectors are easy enough to fit, just make sure you use a little Vaseline to lube the seals to prevent them from snagging on fit.
I'd keep the induction kit you have, save the money.
The only other thing i forgot about was the intercooler. The slanty one your car has is at it's limit with the above, a later sti6 jobbie will fit, and not to expensive.
Where are you based?
