turbo TS or swap to WRX

hello,

i'm going to start saving up bout ~$4000 and was wondering what would you fellas do

1) forced air tech Stage 1 - TO4E Turbo

or

2) use money as down payment on a 2003 wrx wagon

currently own a 62k mile 2002 subaru impreza 2.5TS

the plus about going option one is a turboed car at a natural aspirated insurance rate. (currently pay ~500/month on insurance)

plus about option 2 is lower mileage car, newer model, all the goodies a wrx comes with, etc

Def dont buy a turbo kit for the ts. Save up and buy the wrx if you really want more power. you will save yourself money in te long run and it will be a lot more fun for you.

You must've been involved in something serious like a DUI or street racing to have that insurance.

Even at my worst with a speed contest on the record with various speeding tickets I only ever paid 336 a month for my wrx. I was 21.

www.unitrindirect.com

They're a good company that pays when it comes time.

Your payment for insurance is my payment for my 05 STi. No joke.

perhaps you should wait (get older, have tickets drop off whatever) and then buy something new.
