Well I pulled the plug and got a new car!

since I don't have a car payment I "loose" money because my work gives me $300 to put to a car. I had to get it before the end of the year. So I stuck with subaru and went with a 2014 Forester XT Touring. SO far I love the car! the Turbo FA20 feels amazing and it it's spool up with the twin scroll is crazy! so far all is well. looking forward to adding some fun little mods.

To tell you the truth I like it. In I mode it's a little sloppy but that to keep the mpg raining high. But in S and S# it does fine. With the paddle shifters and 8 "gears" to run through it feels great! It shifts very smooth and holds the gear very nice!. But I'm still in break in so I have really not got a chance to kill it yet haha

That I don't know.. I'm sure someone can chime in. All I know is it a twin scroll same as the 15 wrx
