Yes that is an interesting observation .. So why then is there such a minimal list of affordable and common turbos that can fit my model Lib for example or is that also the case for newer model Imprezas.. All ours have always been bugeyes or gc8/gf8s except for one non turbo 08 Impreza that my youngest daughter has atm, so I am not at all familiar with anything newer than 2002 really. Do newer imprezas also have a limited range of turbos etc.. It's quite frustrating trying to get 2nd hand goodies for the Lib because they are all "special" lol...With the older model rex/sti people are almost giving away thing to "clean out their shed" . When I bought the blue 98 it had a new 2.5 ltr engine block with the rex heads fitted but was stock everything else. It cost me just over $1k to buy a VF22, divorced downpipe, 3" system, bigger injectors, IC "Y" pipe, CAI, silicon intake, Unichip etc etc ...and I rounded them all up within a couple of months. There is a special shelf where they keep the hens teeth and rocking horse poo where they store the Liberty parts... I love my Lib by the way and have to keep charging the batteries in my other cars from lack of use but it would be nice to get it going a little better without having to sell my children, they are all older and higher maintenance now so not as much demand..
