Picked the calipers up with some simple brackets from lance on forum (Recall). The brackets are 40mm x 15mm ally bar with two lots of holes for the caliper and the carrier. I have a cad drawing with the dimensions. Really not sure which direction to go with the turbo. Possibly Holset for 550-600. More than likely journal-based whatever it is to keep costs low with water/meth for a bit of extra protection.

Spring update....
Car has been off the road since the back end of 2014 waiting for me to get around to changing another gearbox. This WILL be the last 5 speed box I replace and it will have to be a 6 speed conversion or something stronger
While the engine has been out to replace the box and check the clutch, I got around to doing a few jobs which have been overdue for some time.
3B Head has been replaced with a ABY head. Took weeks to strip, clean and lightly port.
RS2 manifold has gone and been replaced with a tubular jobbie.
Reversed AAN inlet has been replaced with a dual plenum alternative. Mainly to allow me to go back to the standard location for PAS pump. Addition of a phenolic spacer.
Refurbished the propshaft with new bearing and cleaned/greased CV's.
Replaced inner tie rod bushed with Bambridge items.
A general tidy up and check of cables in the engine bay and replacement of any dodgy connectors.
New braided turbo oil and water lines.
Change or cam cover colour to freshen up the bay.
Still to do....
Fabricate new downpipe, Fabricate air inlet to turbo and output piping to intercooler, Mount and plumb in new oil cooler, Fabricate bases for my new seats and get centre sections recovered in black alcantara, Remove dash to replace heater matrix and get it flocked, Recover headlining...
Other stuff I've forgotten
Target to get her back on the road is August and looking forwards to ADI
Pics to keep you interested!

Small update....
I've put in some serious hours into getting her back together for ADI recently. Slow progress and still much to do, however I recon I've cracked the back of it now.
Most of the fabrication work is complete, so it's bolt everything back on and see what breaks, leaks or falls off
19 row oil cooler, mounted in front of the main rad
A brace for the turbo
80mm Throttle body...will have to wait to see whether I revert back to standard after the test drive
New seats and frames. Need to loose some weight to get in and out of them
Hope to finish the downpipe today and I might be tempted to put the side exit back on Then it's the throttle cable and fuel pipes. Should be ready to fire up this week91 Modded 3B

Good progress and some nice additions.
What exhaust manifold is that?
Why the 80mm TB?
Speeds are great seats, nice and comfy, supportive but still easy to get in and out, less knee dents in the door card and centre console from bracingCurrent-2004 Impreza PPP wagon
