Im going for a guess off around 320bhp and a **** load of torque.

I think that a TD05 FE Turbo from Andy F, would of beeen the choice I would have made with the mods you have

Let us know when you get when its been on a Rolling Road .

If it is a vf24 then you really could do with getting a larger turbo to make the most of the engine but it depends on want sort of power your after, i'd imagine that a vf24 on a 2.5 is lag free.

But i'd say around the 320 mark.

mine ran 320bhp @ prosport on a stock wrx ra engine still with a d/p cat and wrx tmic running 1.4bar on a vf29 (pretty much same as a vf24). Would have thought it would run alot more than 320bhp tbh with a hybrid vf24 and 2.5 engine and a fmic.

Basically the same thing I was trying to say, I think the turbo will be the only thing that stops you from having more power, If say a TD05 from Andy F, you would be looking at around the 350-380bhp.

You need to speak to Mark Aigin at Lateral performance and/or Bob Rawle of BRD (or Roger Clark Motorsport) who will be able to give you informed opinions

But with your spec your Turbo choice looks too small
