I think I hurt my neck looking at that photo. Looks damn fine though.

De-wing and paint calipers black for some sleeper effect.

Looks good! Love the wheels...

I'd be removing the stickers personally, and would debadge the rear leaving just the STi badge... That looks the best IMO!

Then you can definitely cook your headlights to take out the orange, and a nice lower lip for the front will finish off the cosmetics nicely!

Plenty you can do for more power, but as has been mentioned, all of the cheap bits have been done already!

Turbo is probably the next logical upgrade, but depends on your budget and how big you want to go.
You can have a reasonable upgrade in power from around $1500 +
I would suggest something in a TD05/TD06 20G size or equivalent for your 2L would get you on boost fairly quickly, and should still net over 300hp at the hubs once tuned with a larger silicon turbo inlet and maybe a set of headers as well..

Yeh def wanted to look at upgrading the turbo, but was told no use as bigger is not better? The TD05/TD06 - What is the diff between them and the VF35? Really would like more power at lower revs and for take off

RUSSGT · #35 15-12-2011, 01:28 PM

TD04 is where its at then!

welcome mate, twinscroll is probably your best option for moar power/less leg

Work Emo's are bawwws, get rid of the centre cap though.

Tahlia · #38 15-12-2011, 01:55 PM

Ok so TD05/06, TD04 or twin????

Strubaru · #39 15-12-2011, 02:22 PM

twinscroll is the most costly option but will net the best results, you'll need to change your sump/headers/dump-pipe, turbo's to consider are vf37 & vf36, they came stock on the version 8 JDM STI's and spec C's respectively

don't confuse twins-scroll with twin-turbo

twinscroll is a single turbo with 2 exhaust inlets and a divided housing

you don't want a td04, thats a stock wrx turbo, russ just being cunny funt

do some searching & you'll get more answers

Tahlia · #40 15-12-2011, 02:49 PM

Cheers for the info - And yeh Im not going to confuse a twinscroll for TT LOL!

One last Question - where's the best place to source one? and all the other mods, would you recommend purchasing them myself or getting ASG etc to supply & install?

Cheers
