Thumbs up

Me think I have got it.
Spent 3 years and 72k driving a uk turbo ( plus scooby sport stuff),
Got my01 wrx, then ppp, springs plus a bit.
WRX takes some getting use to , steering is a bit light , power, well lets say it needs the ppp.
Getting used to WRX( not a turbo in any way whats "o" ever)done 6.5k so far.
Starting to give it real stick, trying to get near its limit.
I feel new age WRX takes time to get used to where as you can chuck the the old turbo about WITH CONFIDENCE litierally strait away.
WRX amazing
steve.
ps had my98 out of shape a number of times, not managed it with my WRX yet.

Stephen, don't dispair about the power. I was so disappointed with my wrx last year i nearly sold it. It suddenly loosened up at about 12k now it's fun.
Prodrive backbox is a must though.
Having said that it still needs the ppp which i'm getting.
