What turbo will you be using?I have a VF48 at the moment which i have been told will run out of puff with the 2.1 build.
it will run out of puff around 390bhp regardless what engine you have mate.

im ordering from the states purely to save money,i know its a risk but if i dont try i will never know and if it goes **** up then its a lesson learned

right update time..........

car has come back from the paintshop and im more than happy with the results,before it was sent to the sprayers the front mount was fitted but not piped up yet as i wanted the bumper modified before it was sprayed,also its been totally de-badged

im in 2 minds to keep the grill or not,im thinking not as i want the front mount exposed,im having custom pipework for it aswell as i didnt want it going the usual route.

ive also had some sti side skirts fitted which look so much more better.

new wheels fitted,thanks m444gy

bought a spare set of headlights as im planning to do an air intake through one.

next up is a fast road set-up and a smaller front plate and get my fuelab pressure reg fitted also gonna try some different oil in the gearbox.

my old scdb block is stripped and my jdm heads are stripped ready to be sent off to advanced automotive with pistons for all the machining to be done

ive not had them rolled and i hear conflicting info of if its needed or not.

i have camber bolts and coilovers so i think i should be ok,if not i will get arch enemy out to roll em,it probably doesnt help that i weigh 400lbs either
