Default Allroad owners watch out for the new Subaru Forester XT...

I was surfing a Subaru board for my brother's WRX wagon and came across some info..

Seems as if they are tuning the Forester to give us some headaches. The 2.5 Turbo out of the STi is very tuner friendly.

There are some crazy claims on their board but I don't know if they are true or false.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mrtrally.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17518">http://www.mrtrally.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17518</a</li></ul>

Default According to my mod adviser...

The XT comes with the turbo from the WRX... not the STI. However the STI Turbo is a direct bolt on swap that any kid could do.

The XT Forester is bosting in US trim about 245-250 ponnies but not the torque we hold near and dear to our right foot.

The board was an english board and a modded Forrester at that. I'll do what griggenpup said... What out in my rear view mirror as they get smaller and smaller..

Default I was referring to the "modded" ones.....

Many of us hear are modded so I will be doing the same as you all for the time being atleast.

I look forward to some runs with my brother (Catback 3" Cobb exhaust, but I will probably get spanked when he gets his reflash)
