Nice kill. There's a guy at my job that has a white 03 wrx, he has what they call a hybrid, its an sti block with the wrx head and turbo with some boltons, he said he's gonna swap to an sti turbo soon and I want to run him when he does.

perfect.disguise by looking at your pic it had the same body style as the 04-05. What are the specs on those cars? Please don't tell me it was the slowest model made, lol.

Rated 227bhp 217 ft-lbs and I don't think it's under-rated.

They mod really easy though. It can handle a turbo back exhaust without spiking, unlike the 06-07 WRX.

Do you know what the difference is? I saw under the hood of an STI and it looked like the hood scoop was serving the air intake. My Forester scoop is just for cooling the turbo radiator.

The STI has a TMIC aswell below the scoop.

Hey soldier... if your going to Ozark International test n tune is on Saturday I believe for the last few weeks of the season. Gates open at 1130 and they close around 3:30 or 4.... Oh and I beat a C6 Vette, only good kill from yesterday I got spanked a couple times but all those cars had turbo's or superchargers and drag radials I ran a 13.7 with 3/4 tank of gas (Killed my times), so if you and Alford decide to go next weekend let me know I'll always be down to go...

Yea the scoop allows cooling air flow into the intercooler
