    that's one sexy little banger!

    as for the subaru, why not 2.5 for extra displacement? or choosing the 2.0 for better block strength?

    ya block strength 2.5 wont handle as much boost as the jdm tt 2.0 not to mention an sti block is a semi closed deck 2.0 tt is fully closed and i can make more power from it it will be a balst
