Shall I put this into the People Pics section or what ? [^o)] []

I bought it used from a guy on here........ AWD in Perth can get them but they ultimately come from Australia and are quite expensive. You have to pay extra for the new age adaptr plate. It's worth the money though. I had mine facing upwards to begin with but had to turn it 90° because it was starting to blow a hole in the padding underneath the bonnet ! CGS

Cheers Greig - I am surprised by how it sounds from the outside without being obtrusive @ motorway crusing speeds. It's ideal for what I want and doesn't peeve my neighbours too much whilst ice scraping on a frosty morn... DV is a Turbo XS RFL :- see below http://www.fastwrx.com/turrflbovkit.html

If these guys can run 380 bhp with a Milltek Sports Cat then it cannot be a bad thing ! http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/tunergp.asp "Power from the Twin scroll 2.0 standard JDM engine was 380bhp and a massive 507Nm of torque" CGS

No remap necessary but best for max gains. No CEL light whatsoever as there is still a cat in there so the sensors do not throw up a CEL. Tis the way of the future I tell thee. I mgiht lose a few ponies over a full decat but if I am pulled by the rozzers I have no fear plus I dont have to muck around come MOT time........... I still need to fit my decat up-pipe though but i may as well wait and mate it to a TD04 Hybrid Turbo. Cheers CGS

My 4 year old trusty Canon has been replaced with a Sony DSC-T9 []

Tested my new digital cameras move taking capability last night to record my WRX's sound track http://www.shand-online.co.uk/index_files/...ScoobySport.wmv You like ? CGS

I have Godspeed grooved discs with Ferrodo DS2500's........they do not make anymore noise once warmed up and occasionally squeel for the first few seconds after I move off the driveway. If I could mod my car from the start again I would have modded the brakes first. On the last KH track day I was astounded at the difference over the standard jobbies. They really inspired confidence for hard , last minute braking Rgds Cal

ABSOLUTE CLASS !!!!!! That sound is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. It seems so fast I initially wondered if the clip had been sped up ! Nice one Johno Cal

You never told me that Carl Davey was in today !

I have just drooled on my keyboard - this sounds like an STi killing, stealthy package with some well thought out mods [H]

Nice one B-unit [<)] Cheers Cal

Nice one folks.............I now a permanent ABZ resident otherwise I would have joined you. 10/10 to Peter and the others for a sterling effort That street must have been nice and quiet when you left [<)] Cheers Cal

Looking shaweet Del - where did you get the lip from ? Looks well tidy Cheers Cal

You'll need a bigger turbo before you need a bigger IC in my opinion i.e the TD04 would be fine with a WRX IC......so you should be safe

Rusky - did you give Boyakasha the right mug ? I must shuffle along now []

have a look in here http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread...threadid=447182 H&S Scoobysport gives the orginal WRX growl yet is relatively quiet at low revs.......until you pump the fun pedal then it sings a sweet tune ! See in here for detail and a video clip http://www.rallyperformance.com/engine.shtml It all depends how loud you want it . The Magnex does sound good though. Click for the oringal growl http://members.aol.com/toolmantimtaylor/Su...uff/SCOOBYSWEET at first i thought it was cack until someone else did a fly-by in my car and then sweet Jaysus ! Cheers Cal

Some more useful info........ copied and pasted off the P1 owners forum IHI Turbos VF22 This turbo has the highest output potential of all of the IHI VF series turbos and is the best choice for those who are looking for loads of top end power. The top end power however, does not come without a cost. The VF22 spools significantly slower than the rest of the IHI models due to the larger P20 exhaust housing and is much less suited for daily driving than some of the other models. Although the largest VF series turbo, the VF22 is not quite optimal for stroked engines or those who wish to run more than 20PSI of boost. VF23 This turbo is considered a great all-around turbo. Like the VF22 it utilizes the largest P20 exhaust housing. This housing is mated with a smaller compressor housing of the of the VF24. This turbo is considered optimal in applications with range from mild to slightly wild. It does not have the same top end power of the VF22, but spools up significantly quicker. VF24 This turbo shares its compressor housing with the VF23 however, this housing is mated with a smaller (P18) exhaust side. The smaller characteristics of this turbo allow it to provide ample bottom end power and quick spool. This turbo is very popular for Imprezas with automatic transmissions and Group N rally cars. VF28 This turbo came standard on the STi Version 5. In terms of overall size, it is smaller than the VF22, VF30 and VF34, and about same size as the VF23. VF29 This Turbo is nearly identical to the VF24, with the same compressor and exhaust housings. However the compressor wheel in the VF29 is has been changed slightly. The changes made to the compressor wheel in this model are generally viewed as improvements, and as such this unit is typically chosen over the VF24. VF30 The VF30 is commonly considered the best bang for the buck turbo in the IHI VF series line. A relatively new model the VF30 features the same exhaust housing as the VF24 but a larger compressor side similar to the VF22. The combination of these two parts results in increased output potential without the lag associated with the VF22. Although it doesn't offer the top end supremacy of the VF22, the VF30 is a great compromise between these unit and the quicker spooling models. VF34 The VF34 is nearly identical to the VF30, with the same exhaust housing and compressor. However the VF34 goes back to the ball bearing design, and in doing so achieves full boost approximately 500RPM sooner than the comparable VF30. The VF34 is the most recent IHI design and as such costs slightly more than its counterpart. Top end performance and maximum output are identical to the 30. VF35 VF35 The VF35 has identical internals as the VF30 and it uses divided thrust bearings. However, the exhaust housing is a P15 which means this turbo will have fantastic spool characteristics. This turbo is standard on the new WRX Type RA. LIMITED SUPPLY. VF36 Roller bearing version of the twin scroll VF37, also has a titanium turbine and shaft for even quicker spool. Same compressor housing as VF30/34, however twin scroll P25 exhaust housing provides slightly better top end output due to reduced exhaust pulse interference. This turbo is good for 400HP and used on JDM STI Spec C from 2003 onwards. VF37 (thrust bearing) Enter the age of twin scroll IHI turbos. Same compressor housing as VF30/34, however has a new twin scroll P25 exhaust housing that provides slightly better top end output due to reduced exhaust pulse interference. Twin scroll also provides better spool up for improved low down response over the VF30/34. This turbo is good for 400HP and used on JDM STI from 2003 onwards. VF38 Twin scroll turbo with titanium turbine and shaft. Smaller compressor housing than VF36/VF37 provides tremendous spool up capabilities but less top end than VF36/37. The spool capabilities of this turbo are demonstrated on the JDM Legacy GT, which reaches peak torque at 2400RPM. VF39 Single scroll turbo used on USDM STI and latest 2.5L STIs released internationally. Smaller than VF30/VF34. VF42 Exclusive turbo to the S203/S204 models, this features a twin scroll design with a slightly larger compressor than the VF36/37 turbos and different turbine design (more blades). The VF42 is a roller-bearing turbo and is likely of similar size to the VF22 turbo, but with twin scroll exhaust housing for faster spool and superior top end performance due to reduced exhaust pulse interference so if i read it right the vf22 and vf34 are comparable in output,but the newer vf34 is less lagier in its performance and has not quite as much top end power

Steve, Try these guys and explain your predicament www.networxautomotive.com/ Did you rate the RAN ? I quite fancy one CGS

It's worth doing if you a decat downpipe or get a high flow catted downpipe & a remap = should give you 270-280bhp CGS

Yer kidding [] Almost the cheapest in the UK for car insurance and zero chavs within many miles [<)] Those scratches are pretty bad Iain CGS

I wish I could employ this nutter to guard my car 24/7 when in Glasgow & dodgy parts of Aberdeen Get an AB12 postcode for an easy life [] Hope you make the right decision Iain ! CGS

Good post lads [] - I thought my 50k service was expensive until i read this thread ! CGS

Go for it as the mods might be able to make it a sticky ? I will keep mine running in tandem in the meantime as it's quite handy Cheers CGS
