Hi and welcome to the band wagon. There's a lot fewer Subaru owners on this forum than anything else, but why not?
Let's use this as a general discussion area like the others where questions can be asked from prospective owners to current/past owners and we can all have a common ground of conversation.
So, hello, I am ScoobyDoo69, I am a self certified Subaru fan boy, with a love for all other Japanese motors too.
My first car was a 1999 Subaru Impreza Sport. Started off standard, then when I was done with it I had fitted a Borla unequal length manifold (for the turbo burble ennit) both decat pipes, a Prodrive backbox, K&N induction kit, turbo interior, turbo rear spoiler, 2001 WRX alloys, STi V6 front lip and STi rear lights.
As standard it made 123bhp on the rollers, and then when modded it made 142bhp.
When I first bought it:
When I was finished messing around with it:
Then I bought as my 2nd car, a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. It came with a Collins dumpvalve, Blitz turbo timer, centre decat, and Blitz Nur Spec R cat back. I smoothed the boot, fit Defi gauges (boost, oil temp and pressure) fully 3" decatted it, ported the manifold and fit a stainless up pipe, and had an Exedy clutch and lightweight flywheel fitted.
No idea what power it had as it never saw the dyno. But it did run 13.2 @ 102mph at Santa Pod.

How it went:
Then I bought my current Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type UK Prodrive which I have had for over 4 years. It came as standard with the prodrive performance pack (springs, exhaust, remap.) I then put everything from my gauges and exhaust from the WRX on it. It made 330bhp on the rollers, and ran a 12.9 @ 103mph at Santa Pod (so not much quicker than the WRX which definitely had much less power.) I then fit an oil cooler, shaved the front grille, partly debadged the boot, fit an oil cooler, fit a Roger Clarke Motorsport induction kit, and changed the fog light covers for inlets for my air filter and oil cooler. Then had it mapped.
It makes 373bhp and it now runs 12.1 @ 113mph quarter mile (much better
)
