Would appreciate your opinion- have seen Faz's thread on Turbo upgrade for the same model car but i'm lost in a lot of the techspeak- first turbo car as i'm used to v8s.

Have noticed a fair drop in power since my purchase of the my00 red wagon i've got in April this year, particularly at 3k+ rpm. After service today told the turbo is beginning to get a bit lazy, its the original item. No mods on the car to date except an exhaust.

If i wanted to go for an upgrade was given the option of having the sti turbo fitted, would also require a tune and given a quote.

This car has 235000ks on it, i'm looking to get a bit more poke out of the daily driver. Would you have the sti turbo fitted or is there a better option in around the same price bracket?
Cheers
