Best go for a 2.5 short motor as your heads etc will fit. I think theres a group buy in motion.

Thanks for the mentions Simon and Rob greatly appreciated

We can certainly help and are just over an hour from M.K. Fitting a 2.5 is a possibility but not always an option it will depend upon the age of your STi and the suitability of the cylinder heads.

There is also the hidden cost of the other 'kit' to get it to run properly. it's not advisable to increase the engine size by 25% and hope all the other junk under the bonnet can catch up........
If you want a sensible no obligations chat about options call me
