British write up.....Twin scroll??? - Page 2

The twin scroll is an oe must; likely most STI's will be everyday cars in stop and go traffic where any turbo lag will "feel" amplified.
IMO the pretty [or ugly] dress-up stuff can be easily installed/removed.

Does NA drivers really need an adjustable center diff?

If, for some reason we didn't get the twin-scroll turbo, how difficult would that be to fit it? I mean, we're talking the turbo, and the piping that works with the twin-scroll turbo right??

I'm not worried about the dress-up stuff. Heck, I am not even that worried about the seats and stuff like that. I'm into form over function and you can always buy nice Sparco, Momo, etc seats and nice wheels, etc. Although, I have heard that the OEM STi wheels are a very strong and light design. I've heard around 16-17lbs for the 17"ers..maybe that's inaccurate..

Obviously there is nothing easier than re-tuning a detuned car, but I think you'd run into ECU/fuel issues if you ended up switching to the twin scroll. Otherwise, everything should bolt up nice.

Let's just cross our fingers on the twin scroll so we don't have to worry about it!
