Here is a wealth of info on the changes made to the engine as well as many of the options Japan is getting at least. Read thru this page and make sure to visit the other two links in the thread. Great info, especially this new twin-scroll turbo!

Hopefully there are a sign of things to come our way.

sorry

Thanks for the update!

no problem.

I'm still drooling over the physics behind this new turbo. Amazing.....

And how about that driver controlled center diff (DCCD)?

Is all the equipment and upgrades going to be available on our STi? Or is it only on the J-spec model? Because the STi as they describe it would be really nice. Make mine like that, but in silver.

Well, everything is speculation at this point, but you'd sure think the options on the JDM version of the car would be a very good indication of what we should be getting, at least as far as standard options.

Whether we get things like the DCCD, who knows. But all the things like the blue carpeting, the new turbo.....I sure don't see why they'd go to all the trouble of retooling another plant just to send us watered down cars.

Is the turbo not a ball-bearing turbo?

From what I've read not in the WRX or the STi only in the Spec C. The STi and Spec C also get the twin scroll turbo but the WRX does not.

The website linked above has been updated (manufacturer options mostly).
