first Subaru

just bought a 2011 Impreza. not a WRX or STI but using a clutch is a pain in my knee. joined up to find out about what i can do to make the car quicker without voiding the warranty or pissing off the state of California

Welcome

Unfortunatly you can't do much at all to NA Subarus in terms of power. You could have bought an Auto WRX.

If you turbo it, it can only hold like 5lbs. of boost. But I think there's a AVO turbo kit and a Raptor supercharger.

spend $$ on suspension and youll be able to take turns like a boss but powerwise there isnt much to do

get upgraded springs/struts or coilovers, sway bars/endlinks, etc etc

you are almost lucky you dont have to worry about power mods and save your money for suspension and tires
