thanks for the heads up Corsa nut, will have a look at what they say, insurance isnt to bad tbh.

and eck, i done my research many months before and to be honest i cant see that many problems or issues with this model? service intervals are not ridiculously low and generally seem to be ok as long as they are not running stupid boost and treated poorly.

370bhp on the standard internals? Is that safe on these?

why is that? tons of these run much more bhp then 370 on standard internals, alot of people running around 450bhp on standard internals, this car has been on this setup for 7k. currently only on 1.2 bar

if the engine is treated well and serviced frequently it will be fine, seriously just have a look on the subaru forums for the amounts of people running high power cars on standard internals, this is the new age imprezas btw.

Nice choice, mine had the same aps turbo and exhaust fitted at one point it made just over 400. Those turbos are £1600 and £895 for the exhaust

Looks lovely. I had the same model at 400 bhp for 2 years and no probs. You thought of raising the boost with another map? Should be able to run 1.7 bar easy enough? Very nice spec on it too.
