Default MY06 JDM / Euro differences

So does anybody know why Subaru decided to go with the 2.0 litre engine on the JDM spec and 2.5 litre on the Euro spec ??

but they could have just put more into the exhaust design to help with that, also they JDM has equal length headers, as apposed to unequal length, would it not be better to have the 2.5 with equal length as well ?

Thought it was just the spec c that was 2 litre ? Could be wrong though !
The Spec C had to be 2 litre for rally homoligation I think

And who needs 2.5 anyway!!

The MY06 JDM Sti is fine for me and with Milltek & re-map for Optimax gives me 348bhp

Thats enough for an old git like me

It was just lost in Translation!!!

UK/EU buyer said "English People love Chocolate Eggs" when Translated into Japanese "English People love Chocolate Pistons" Hence the 2.5Ltr
