Wrx Or Sti

[slipstream_uk]

If anyone out there knows the answers to these questions, please spill the beans.

Ive checked the vin plate it comes back as a WRX V-LIMITED.

That ties up with the FIA badge on the boot and the front seats. Now this is were it gets fuzzy.

Ive got STI badges on the front wings.

The speedo cluster has an STI badge in the middle, the rev counter goes upto 9000rpm - never taken it passed 7000rpm

The front brakes are 4 pots, rears are vented.

The front wishbones are alloy.

The ecu is z4 with a mines badge on it.

There is a 3 port boost solenoid

There is a green label maf

There is a IHI turbo fitted - no codes stamped on it.

Applied Model GC8C48D

Option Codes 65C

Engine type EJ20G DW5HE

Transmission Type TY752VB4AA

The Applied Model Code says its a WRX.

The Engine type Code says its a STI version 2 first production run

The Transmission Type Code says its a STI version 2 / 555

So what is this scooby, a STI or a WRX

Cheers, Slippy

thanks for the replies lads, ive done a bit of web searching and found out the wrx v-limited came with wrx engine or the sti engine. Mine doesnt come with the red manifold, but im led to believe the early sti's didnt have red manifolds

only the v1 had a silver manifold. V2 on had red.
