This is Subaru we’re talking about. It’ll look exactly the same.

5 more horsepower you say?
10 more since the STi first came to US shores, in MY 2004?
How DO you do it, Subaru?

Because they can get away with it. Let’s see for how long.

Things it needs:
Twin Scroll Turbo Manifold
Twin Scroll Turbo
Any maybe even:
Forged pistons.
Until it has this the STI is worthless to buy. Golf R, Audi S3, Civic Type-R, Focus RS, and probably the upcoming Veloster N are all better buys.
