I think it runs the TD04 Front entry and would max out with about 1.0bar of boost

280ps (276bhp) as per gentlemans' agreement.

If it has Subaru embossed on the calipers you have 4 pots if not then you've got crappy 2 pots (bloody awful)
Boost can be raised (manual or electronic boost controller) as jay said but sort the fuelling out before fecking around with the boost imo.

Have a look on the turbo as it should have ID marks on it.

The normal upgrade is Subarus own 4 pot caliper which is a straight swap but you would have to change the disks as well...prices vary anywhere from 200 just for calipers upto 350 with disks and pads.

Nice looking car to fella... :thumbsup:

My mate picks his scoob up next week a version 4 uk spec for £3400 :o

in which case he'll have the shit brakes.

Yep upgraded my 2 pots to the later model 4 pots with standard pads and Black Diamond discs ,goodridge hosing and DOT 5.1 fluid.

althoough they are crap there is no need to worry about changing them, i just fitted better pads to start with.

Jays right, the only ver 3 to have 4pots was the type r!

4 pots can be picked upped easily enough and the prices aren't too bad either.

Does it have any mods at all?? Do you have any planned??

PS Looks nice

Check http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/ but before you start spending money just get used to the car (especially the appalling understeer :angry: )

Also worth having a look at www.scoobynet.com as it is the biggest scooby forum.

You'll have to run it on SUL minimum but most people will use V power or Tesco99 ron.

A knock link is like an early warning system that tells you the engine is about to detonate... :o

Knocking is the self detonation of the unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber toward the end of combustion.

A knocklink is a flashy display that warns you of detonation

IMO there is no need for one until you start messing around with upping the power.
