umm probably not the best category to be posting that question.....

speak to Jazzie here as she has a sweat B4 and knows a really good tuner! Also have a look at www.ozliberty.com for other B4 owners.

Hey dude i own a MY02 B4, and rents also own a WRX and an STI. I think the B4 is a good daily driver nice economy on fuel :P

First thing to do with a B4 is a get a TBE, FMIC and a retune to get rid of the VOD. The VOD is a void of torque when the turbos are switching over from primary to secondary. The TBE is a must anyway. The FMIC helps to lessen the effects of the VOD by providing extra air volume for the engine during the turbo switch over. But the tune is the most crucial part and is necessary to almost get rid if the VOD.

Other than that. they are a good car and after the mods you can expect around 180kw ATW making the B4 and nice little sleeper. Its also the type of car that tends to fly under the radar when it comes to police and modifications.

I thoroughly recommend them for anyone looking for something similar to a WRX but with a little luxury and a little less attention.

They do have fairly poor fuel economy stock. But that can easily be fixed with a retune, which is a good idea anyway to get rid of the VOD.

I dont know if Verso can do the retunes on B4s but Im pretty sure ECUtek can do it.

Look at the workshop sticky in the Mechanical section for a full list of Perth Subaru specialist Performance workshops.
