    Best way to find out, Give Vin Macaro down at STI docklands a Call and ask him directly... He's a very approachable guy and has been very keen to help out in the past!

    ADM 2.5L STI's are not twin scroll. They use a VF43 turbo which is basically a modified VF30 (P18) bush bearing unit.
    It has a longer collar and wastegate arm due to the electronic throttle intake for some reason...

    No Sweat, and my pleasure.. hope that clarifies things Click here to enlarge

    ADM STI is still a brilliant car, and superb value for money as a day to day come track car, or even as a dedicated track car when stripped down and modded as discussed.

    Ohhh, there is a prodrive kit that pushes the output to..... 300kw! Drivetrain warranty honoured as well.

    further info off topgear site

    "Elsewhere, talking to some of the Japanese car hacks who have already driven both the Evo X and WRX STI, they all agreed that, while the Evo is the prettier car, the Sub is faster and much easier to drive. They say the Mitsu feels more complicated and fiddly next to the WRX"

    awesome..

    can't wait for the WRX MY09 version.. surely it would have been facelifted by then..

    the side/rear i'm fine with, i just can't get other the fact the front is dog ugly.

    If you're going to copy the front of the car subaru, why did you choose the 03 camry.

    specs of wrx is good..safety, performance, hell its even lighter than the older one.

    body roll - nothing a set of decent springs/dampers should be able to fix.

    everything else bar the front, is pretty good for the WRX.

    for what you get it's quite a bargain.
