2008 Subaru Impreza 2.0RS Tuning

**silverseeker** · February 11th, 2008 11:50 AM

I was wondering what is the most optimal tuning you could do with an 08 Impreza? Raising the HP and improving its already fab performance?

And with optimal I mean the best tuning package with the cheapest price..:D

my dad bought an AT 08 Impreza, so di na ako aasa na maraming magagwa kung sakali kasi AT..:D

thanks guys

Best bang for your buck would be to install a custom turbocharger with intercooler. It would bring the performance of the car to somewhat more "acceptable" levels.

You can try the most basic of engine mods: Intake/Headers/Exhaust.

Better breathing for your engine, and a preparatory step for any other mods you might plan to do (e.g. turbos)

Turbo.

The basic intake-headers-exhaust route has the downside of optimizing your car's upper power range by sacrificing some low end torque. With a manual car, getting around the torque hole is a double-clutch or downshift away. With an automatic, you have to ride it out.

Have a look underneath. If the 2.0 shares the same basic transmission with the 2.5 Turbo engine, then you can probably safely turbocharge the car. A lot of local shops can do this for you within 100,000 - 200,000 bucks.
