Tam - have you considered an STi?

Looking in autotrader, the asking price for a low mileage 08-plate GB270 is similar to that of a low mileage 57-plate STi.

And considering your performance requirements, Andy Forrest's STi Level 2 will get you into 340-360bhp territory, without you having to buy a new turbo. To get into the same territory with a WRX/GB270, Andy specs a new turbo (£££). Not to mention with the STi you get more powerful brakes, stronger gearbox, stronger engine internals, DCCD, etc, etc...

Don't get me wrong, the GB270s are beautiful motors, and I can see why they made a fantastic buy when purchased new - but S/H I think you'll get more for your money buying/tuning an STi.

JMHO, FWIW.

What turbo does the GB270 have as standard?

[mystery machine]

I understood the GB270 to be the same as the WRX in most respects apart from the PPP (exhaust, intercooler pipe & remap), the quickshifter, the lower springs, the spoiler, the mesh grilles, the interior toys and perhaps some additional security - but I believed it to have the same turbo... (whatever model that is).

...I'm prepared to be corrected, though
