my friend dan had a mk3 vr6 with the z-engineering charger stage 1. it was a rust box, but was sorted and handled very well. would not rivall the 4wd of an impreza though.
sweet baby jesus it was quick though. ran at circa 270 set up by stealth. sounded like nothing else, had instant response. alot quicker than his previous g60 rallye and mk1.
look into the rotrex chargers
