STi newbie question
hello everyone
After owning a 93 MR2 Turbo for 6 years, I am recently decided it's time to move to something newer and more practical. So with the MR2 sold in 3 days I am going to place my order for a white on silver STI today or tomorrow.
I am fairly familer with turbo charged engine but knows nothing about subbies, I was wondering if anyone can give me some tech specs on the turbo system on the 04 STi, and what should I know about the car/engine being that this is a whole new world for me.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ok, order is in.. here comes the Q's
1. where the heck is the antena on this car? I read that it's suppose to be inprinted in rear window, but I couldn't find it on the showroom model!!!
2. Can you have fog lamps installed and still put the cover on wen you are not using them? Has anyone installed fog lamps on STI/WRX themselves? Is it a easy thing to do? I didn't order the car with fogs but I would like to add them at some point.
3. what are the speaker sizes? I noticed you could mount a tweater inside the door, but subaru seem to have a mirror mount tweeter kit. Anyone know if that would fit on STI?
TIA for any info.

1. It's integrated into the rear window glass.
3. With very minimal work, I was able to get 6.5"s in the front and 5.25"s in the rear. I needed to use a 1/2 inch baffle on the front in order for my speakers to clear the window glass when it's all the way down. In the back, the pre-cut hole is big enough to fit a 5.25" but you'll need to drill your own holes and the mounting surface won't be completely even, I just used 3M double-stick foam tape to even it out and make a nice seal.
