My car is currently having some major upgrading, including Cosworth Forged Pistons (.25 oversized), and uprated Rods. The car also has a HKS400 Turbo, Apexi Fuel Controller and Boost Controller and all the usual extras, including exhaust and air filter.
What sort of power would I expect to be able to run reliably, and at what boost would that be?
The engine is a Closed Deck block.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I have a front mounted HKS intercooler. What colour do you reckon would look good if I were to have a very minor spray job, bearing in mind the car is black?

Hi Debs 
You will definatley be able to run a good 350 with those mods, provided the car is set up right! (by a professional
) An uprated fuel pump would be a good idea as you will more than likely be running 1.3 - 1.5 bar knowing your hubby
As your Turbo state's it will run up to 400 ish brake so you will limit yourself there if you want to get more power...
I don't know enough about the apexi gear to comment accuratley...
Most people with the big power'd scoobs on here have a Link or Motec engine management system which controls all the necessary settings....
Make sure whoever maps it HAS DONE IT BEFORE ON A SCOOB you don't want to kiss a good engine goodbye...
But your car will run very well again!
Speak to R19KET... he maybe able to provide you with the expertise you require!
Hope this helps
See you soon!
