No thanks. I have a turbocharged vehicle now and I'm looking forward to getting back to the instantaneous throttle response that NA offers.

I know a few guys that have gone boost on their twin and pulled it off shortly after, didn't like how the car drove that way. One of them was just at my house picking up a 4.1 diff I pulled out of my car.

Yeah I mean boost is fun and all but I think I prefer that instantaneous throttle response and the control it gives you mid-corner. It just feels more precise and sharp.

Plus whenever I start boosting around in public in the WRX and going nuts, I feel like a rude asshole douchebag. Surprised I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in this car to be honest.

Do 4.8 Final gear swap and your corner exit will be exhilarating

You should actually do the final gear swap to the 4.3 2017+ at least. I bet you'd enjoy it.

About 500. It moves the car up a few hundred RPM at a given speed. I have been back and forth a few times and prefer the 4.3 for the most part.

Once again, if it's a stick and you seek better feels under the left foot, do this.

It's really easy. I promise. If you have a guy, just buy the cylinder and hand it to him.
