2002-2008 Subaru WRX/Sti - Buyers Guide - Turbo & High-Tech Performance

Turp_0812_01_z+subaru_wrx_sti_buyers_guide+engine_bay   |   2002-2008 Subaru WRX/Sti Buyer's Guide

Since its introduction to the U.S. in 2002, the Subaru Impreza WRX has been one of the most popular tuner cars in the country. With a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, all-wheel-drive drivetrain, ample interior space, and a sub-$25,000 price tag, it's easy to see why the WRX became a popular choice among performance enthusiasts.

Early attempts to increase power output often ended in catastrophe. Simply slapping on a manual boost controller and pushing 20-plus psi on otherwise stock cars resulted in many blown motors and shattered transmissions, but as some of the top tuners gained experience with the car, new products hit the market and the power threshold rose. Now, 700-plus wheel horsepower is no longer a pipe dream but a reality.
