Hi there

at first how much bhp you are looking?

For 270-280bhp:

Here is part list

3-port boost solenoid

Decatted exhaust with decatted up pipe(STi will be fine)

255lph Walbro Fuel pump

Panel filter like K&N,Green Cotton

Custom Remap OS or EcuTek,depends what is in your area available


For 330-350bhp here is part list:

VF30,VF34 or VF35

STi pink injectors

FMIC or STi TMIC,i would go with FMIC for sure

Decatted exhaust with decatted up pipe,just don't fit any headers,if you want fit headers fit STi OEM headers and get them ported

3-port boost solenoid

Custom remap OS or EcuTek

255lph Walbro fuel Pump

This bonnet is Vis Racing Fusion,try google it,i've bought this from USA,but sometimes is on eBay for half price what i paid(£600)

Best bet is have look on eBay for some ideas,but mainly what you want ie. bonnet,bodykit or alloys(Rota looking on Bugeye very nice)

Anything is possible, all the impreza use the same body shell so you can swap and change the whole car if you want to, ie new front end bug, blob or hawkeye will fit its just a matter of changing the front panel, I've converted a bug like yours to a hawkeye it's pretty straight forward if you have the parts, depends on how far you want to go.

Get some blobeye back lights they will look a lot better.
Blob headlights won't fit without changing a lot of the front end parts, wings, bonnet, bumper etc.

You are all wrong, a carbon bonnet gets a standard wrx to 400bhp

I got 320 bhp by changing my headlights, I can see where I'm going now so that's got to be worth a few bhp, as for a bonnet if it's polished enough you should see an increase in top speed

Simply NO,bonnet is bonnet and can't give you extra power/bhp.Some bonnets claims are lighter like OE,but who knows

Another story,if you have WRX and you want fit STi TMIC for better flow you will need bigger scoop/IC under tray...
