subaru avoided the class action lawsuit for the 5spds previously by saying that at stock power level, the way it was meant to be driven, it was fine.... we will have to see if the added 40hp will change that.

But I think the first year of the 43 was in '07.
And 08 STI's have VF48's.... from what I read the 09 WRX is going to have a turbo very similiar to the VF43
