Welcome

Now it depends on what you mean what is what with them, a limited edition, 215bhp (218ps), 245bhp on the PPP'd version, different alloys, trim, spoiler, no other real advantages over the standard car, just tarted up more

The list goes on forever mate.

Depends on what you want to go: looks or power or handling or a combination of more than one all the whole lot.

Ive updated my 2009 wrx with a bucket of upgrades, the whole thing will depend on how much you want to spend and how far your credit card bends!

Good Luck and welcome to the scooby scene my friend.

Welcome to the Fold

Obviously my user name says I once had one, but yes they are a nicer looking car than the basic bugeye in my opinion. There is no gain in power over the standard WRX bugeye, but benifit from 18" Oz standard, Prodrive headlights, splitter, nicer trim than wrx, and hold a little more value than a WRX, but then its likely you paid more for it than a standard WRX. .

Mine was on here too, now sold ;-)

Wouldn't bother mate, more hassle than they are worth. The Standard re-circ is more than up to the job. If you do decide to go atmospheric dump, then get a good one.

Im sure you will be slated on here for getting one , but there will also be some that will back you up

Nice one rob. I think you said it mate, its horses for courses. You either want a psssssst or not.

Whatever you choose joe, dont listen to anyone else for "taste", the more varied, the better I think, as far as mechanical, yes, listen to what others offer. Advice is free, changing something back after you've modded, is going to cost you extra.

As Yoda said, Hmmmmm. Fast your scoob must go. May the Forged pistons be with you. Always.

thanks for all the welcomes and bits of advice guys i think il keep it standard for a little bit and see how long i can resist the dump valve but it aint a big job and can be put back so shouldnt be a problem
