Default Power distribution on blobeye WRX

Hi all,

Just a quick (and probably rather stupid!) question, what's the standard power distribution on a 2005 WRX blobeye?

Being symmetrical AWD, I'd imagine that it's a 50/50 split at all time?! Or am I completely wrong and it splits differently based on conditions? If so, what it the range that is can change to?

Couple of situations:

Driving down motorway - 50/50?
Spirited driving on twisty road - does it adjust to 40/60 ie more at rear or does it stay at 50/50?

Please excuse my ignorance for not knowing - I should know better lol

Its fixed, use to be 50/50 on the classics so I doubt its changed on the wrx's.

Don't know, but there's a LSD that'll shift the power from back to front. Give it a bit too much right foot coming off a roundabout (when it's safe, obviously) feel the understeer begin, back off very slightly, then get back on the power and you'll feel the rear wheels doing the work straightening the car out.
