Car Info: 2002 WRX Sedan
It is too bad that somebody is spreading ideas like those mods. The WRX is such a cool car, even stock. Next thing you know, brave (but stupid) people will try these pointless ideas and they'll toast their motors and then the word will be "Subarus suck! My motor blew! They're time bombs waiting to go off! The dealer sucks....they wouldn't honor my warranty!!!" We are lucky that Subaru finally released a turbo Impreza here in the States late in 2001 and for these shady mental giants to be advising of such mindless ideas is really pretty sad.
Disconnecting the boost solenoid altogether??
No air filter?
Gee I wonder how much HP we could free up by unbolting the rear axles and go just run FWD like the rest of the ricers out there!!

It will also allow the turbo to build full boost at partial throttle, exactly opposite of what the ECU is programmed to do.
you should refer your friend to a site called www.scoobymods.com there's a bunch of free mods on there that actually work.
