So I have a black XT showing up next weekend after buying it yesterday.

First time I've owned a Subaru, 1st time for a boxer and 1st ever turbo to boot!

So, for this newbie - any advice on what I should do from a precautionary side to keep it running sweetly and any advice on reasnoable mods to make to make it shine brighter? On that point, I don't mean a monster turbo, lowered to grasshoper height or mega bodykits - I'm thinking more like a mild ECU job, maybe change the intake system?

Car is 'used' (has a few scuffs and scrapes) but seems sound mechanically.

Any advice welcome!

Always thought they'd be pretty easy to modify and I guess they are!

Cambelt was done 10k ago so that should be good....do you think an oil change every year is OK?
