So are all 2.5 sohc heads the same? I have access to some off of an legacy or an out back. does anyone know if the new plastic intake manifold fit these heads? they do flow more than the wrx heads correct?


AS for getting new valves for eith 2.5 or wrx heads, would it be beneficial to get two mm larger intake valves and only 1mm larger exhaust valves. would this produce better torque numbers like with the 22t heads? just wondering
