Its a 1995 WRX, was contemplating a 2003-2004 JDM STI.

Was toying with the idea of an APS SR40 turbo and some headers and up pipe or dropping in an STI engine, but if i do that i may as well go the whole hog and drop in a 2.5lt mmm.........

just as long as you dont expect the APS turbo to produce what it says on the tin, as for some reason, they rarely do.

i did have an SR30 which is its baby brother, and it was a bit hit and miss...i think that APS turbos seem to work very well with a certain mix of products, but finding that mix is the tricky part. Im not saying that it wouldnt achieve their figures (although i do think their quoted 440 is a bit steep!!) but for the money, the TD05/06 is the far safer bet, and also cheaper especially if bought new.

also would a 95 wrx be a 90 degree entry turbo as standard? if so then you will have to get a later spec inlet tract.

I have already converted to front entry TD05 and STI Inlet tract with raised manifold etc...etc....
Scared the SR40 will be a bit laggy

What chassis mods you on about????
I already have a set of uprated 4 pots on and have an AP Clutch rated to 450bhp, so should be fine.
As regards gearbox, will wait till mine goes then maybe go for 6 speed

To assist in the longevity of the engine (), a fairly "cheap" mod you may want to consider is putting a RCM oil pump on it.
