Dave,
I think they got the front and rear speaker sizes swapped. Check out 808sti's post or any other Imprezza for sizes.

They already did an STi so Im sure they have it figured out. Asked em to stuff whatever they could in there without pushing it.

Grr... Im not happy about my alarm and such, but its a simple fix, they just forgot to install the window module. Was wondering why the price was so cheap.

Seriously, it is hijack central around here, but i don't mind...it'll be worth waiting for them reviews even though all this wait is killing me. For us in the States, it'll get here around last week of May to 1st week of June on the coasts and then make its way to the middle where i am by hopefully mid june. Well, keep us posted on any updates.

Turbo-Timer not needed...
The turbo in WRX's is water-cooled, with the line coming off the block. As the coolant in the turbo boils off, it draws more coolant in from the block, and pushes the steam out of the overflow tank. This will continue to draw coolant until it stops boiling, so your turbo is cooled effectively after you shut your car off, even if its hot.

the water is sucked in to replace the boiled-off coolant, once the overpressure is relieved, the pressurized coolant in the block fills the turbo...this is probably a constantly moving system instead of step 1: boil off, step 2: refill, rinse and repeat
from what I understand, this is one of the main advantages of water-cooled turbo's, the old oil-cooled ones needed the turbo timer to circulate the oil to cool 'em down since the oil doesn't boil off, blow out the coolant reservoir and suck more in...
