what they said. i have an 05 sti and have been thinking about changing the wheels...that wider track certainly limits opportunities for bargains on ebay though!

The doorcards are trimmed on the armrest and dash and centre console tidied up a bit, also spec c suspension geometry larger wheel bearings improved dccd with extra sensors rear wheelarch trims and different rear bumper to suit, on jdm I believe engine is as spec c with better cams not sure about uk engines though as I went jdm

Engine internals are the same for the Spec C and JDM STi on MY04 and MY05 and onwards, turbo is different with the spec c using a VF36 (roller bearing) and the JDM STi uisng a VF37 (sleave bearing).
The MY04 had 0.1mm less valve clearance on the exhaust than the MY05, the MY04 has 0.05mm less lift on the exhaust valve than the MY05.

Nope, just connect into the plenum mounted sensor, as long as the after market ECU is compatible with it.
The sensor isn't used by the stock ECU as standard, it was put there for GroupN rules, to make use of it with the stock ECU you simple swap a couple of wires at the ECU connector, then remap the ECU using the GroupN coding. I havn't used that as the GroupN coding doesnt have active knock correction, which is important when using fuel souced at the road side rather than from a controlled batch, as the GroupN cars get to use.
