Everyone said a supercharger would be the best option for these but in n/a form I cant see it Still 170rwkw is decent but it obviously could only take 7psi max ??

Surely the turbo model needs to come out they basically got all the parts off the sti and a sutiable box just has to be made

Did anyone watch the video I posted?

Toyota is apparently working on a supercharged version NOT a turbo version. Subaru might make a turbo version but the clearances will be tight since the motor is lower in the chassis than the WRX and that's pretty much where the turbo goes.

Subaru only has 10% of production even though they are making the things. They thought it wouldn't be a success so signed an agreement that Toyota had to take 90% of them. That has backfired spectacularly. All the Australian 2012 Toyota stock all sold out last month and the Subaru stock sold out in 2 hours.

This car is essentially the exact opposite of a turbo Falcon. (ie. Japanese small car, 2 door, low power, great handling, rigid chassis, high reliability, all about corners and not about straight line stats) For it to even get a luke warm reception on these forums shows it is a very good thing. You definitely wouldn't buy one if you were a bit precious about the size of your little fella.

Yes, they need about 30% more power and 50% more torque. Obviously needs forced induction of some sort. If you can get 150rwkw, that is the same as a Falcon with 225rwkw = enough.
