Hi All,

I have finally picked up my first Subaru WRX, a 2012 WRX Premium MY12 sedan. It is my dream model and also my first turbocharged car.

The car is completely stock and is in great condition. I am new to the turbo scene but I absolutely love driving this car!

It would be terrific if I could get some great tips and useful suggestions for some tasteful modifications from you fellow Subaru owners!

I would love to hear from users of this forum who have the same model vehicle and also from anyone who have some helpful ‘starter’ tips to share!

Happy to post a photo of my new toy!

Cheers everyone!

Welcome and congrats on your purchase. Lots of great info on this forum. Just use the search function and look through fellow forum members build threads. If you're happy to post a photo how come you haven't?

Hi mate and welcome
Post some pics up of your ride . First mods make sure it has a decent set of rubber on it and some decent brake pads . Then get a decent Fuel pump Walbro etc make sure it is ethanol compatible or you will probably change it down the track. Have a good 3 port mac boost solenoid fitted, a good quality exhaust system eg Butler , Invidia and then have the car retuned to suit the exhaust .

That will free the car up and should keep you happy for a few months lol . Once you start you will always want more.

A good decent set of rubber if it doesn't already have some eg.. Yokohama S drives , Bridgestone RE003 etc are one of the best bang for buck up grades . The fuel pump Is a precaution as the stock one doesnt flow the greatest with performance mods.

Then the exhaust , solenoid and retune Undo most of detuning that the factory does for our market . past these mods things start to get more serious Suspension and brake upgrades , Intercooler upgrade , E85 fuel tune , Turbo upgrade then internal work.

Unfortunately Yokohama have discontinued S Drives
