No. The STI is still better than the 09 WRX in every way. No one is going to buy a WRX if they can afford an STI. The only way STI sales will drop is if the WRX starts getting STI parts, which is why youll never see a 6MT WRX like LD said.

Ahhhh I got confused then. I was thinking VF-42 but remembered that was the turbo in the S204, which makes it twin scroll. Makes sense.
A quick blurb I found about it:
A quick blurb I found about it:
The VF43 turbo is only available on the '07 STI's. The 04-06 STI's came with the VF39 turbo - they were prone to cracking and boost creep. The VF43 supposedly has more resistance to cracking and it also has a bigger hotside (WG). This also helps prevent boost creep.
All in all, this is a better turbo upgrade than a VF39 for earlier model turboed Subaru's, for WRX owners who are doing an STI swap, or for STI owners returning to stock.

i think that would depend on the price diffrence and also having the option for sedan instead of wagon

I still think they should have taken the 04-05 style wagon and turned it into the STi "hatch" they have now. Big ass fender flares, the large scoop, all that. It would have looked hawt.
