plus running subarus, err teh turbos, to have them last, you gotta idle em for a lil bit, to build up oil pressue, and after a run/drive, idle to let oil go back out, and the turbos to cool. otherwise pricey things happen

oil pressure = let the car warm up..aka dont push it until its wam. i'm glad the turbo's subaru's use (unless swapped out) use coolant as well as oil. just let it idle for a while and the coolant will keep the turbo temp's down while the oil is primarily just used for lubricating the bearings/shaft

Iyou don't even have to do that unless oyou are running a higher psi on the turbo or have upgraded the turbo. The coolant still circulates some after the motor has stopped and in a stock subaru it is enough to cool the turbo properly without causing any "cookoff"

And that sucks yall the work you put into that car was ruined by an irresponsibe driver. I mean I have 123k on my modded 03 wrx and its still running great with out doing anything but regular maintenance.

Also the problem with the evo' subaru market at the moment is they use 2.0, 2.5l engines so small engines to start with then highly tune them to get rediculous HP out of such a small engine. Although this is great as a stock car because you got a relativly small engine producing lots of HP when it comes to modding, small increases in HP cost a huge amount as you have to go high tech or expensive to get a gain and even then its not much. Whereas if you buy a big block engine and start doing some simple things you can make huge HP gains very quickly.

Not true, for about 1500 dollars in modifications to a 2.0 wrx you can get close to 300 hp  which is a gain of about 75 hp
