Default Hey!
Hi all,
Picked up my new car on Saturday... great condition WRX Impreza wagon! Always loved the wagons, for that little sleeper effect they have on them.... My second car in ownership and I am taking It very gently at the moment.... what a great piece of machine this car is! Some pictures
One question I was going to ask... do all the 05 imprezas have, what I'm guessing, is a little whistle as the turbo spools up... not a high pitch one, sounds like the turbo spooling up.... it has been partly decatted so maybe this is why? Hard to explain, but I don't think it's a problem.. just trying to explore what it is!
Luke

Welcome

That looks a good find, clean ones are getting harder to come across these days. A little turbo whistle is fine, it becomes more noticeable with a decat as well.

Welcome to SES. As some have said, turbo's can whistle a bit. As long as it is only a bit its fine. If its been decatted in any way it may be prudent to get the map checked if it hasn't been already. Great looking wagon BTW.
