Default from V8 to 06 STI

G’day,

Was going to post this earlier joined 2 or so weeks ago after buying my 06 STI 2.5l.

So far I am loving it, I was after a change from the RWD V8 scene - I had a XR8 with 245rwkw and still the stocker STI I reckon out accelerates it.
Top end not so much (XR8 would have it in a race from say 80 – 160 or so)

Already got some mods T’d up for early to mid Nov

Intake kit, fuel pump, fuel & boost controller, blouch TD05, TBE and upgraded process west TMIC.
As I am only keen to stick to say 300awhp would it be worth it to even upgrade the top mount? Or will the STI unit suffice?

Tuneskis will be covered next Tuesday having a Pioneer P80-R, Eton A1 Splits, Focal 13” 33v2 sub, ARC 1000.1 mono block and ARC 300.4 installed. I initially didn’t want to hit the stereo store but the standard Subaru units are Cr@p to put it politely.


19” Oz Racing Ultraleggera wheels in white – to be done post engine work.


Cheers and enjoy the pics
