Hello from Thailand. Update on my STI7 PPP

Some of you may have read my previous thread on all the problems I was haviing due to the s**t fuel here.
First I can now state broquet does not work.

Three really nice and totally crazy guys from edge tuning in Singapore flew up here with a 3 inch no cats or muffler HKK exhast,the whole thing downpipe back.
The car sounds wild I would get arrested in the UK.
They also had an uprated wastgate actuater and stronger fuel pump plus thier laptop
.
First problem getting past the PPP board on the ECU.No problem for these boffins. Soldering iron in hand tyey bypassed it.
Took the car to the local garage who replaced the whole exhast,the wastgate actuater and fuel pump for 10 quid, yes seriously.
One of them driving and one on the laptop they proceeded to scream round Phuket(no speed limits) tuning the car on the move.
Amazing, they have now invited me to come to Sepang on the 21st to drive thier 500bhp STI round the F1 circuit, couldnt possibly........

Next they want to come back here and fit a bigger turbo, freeflowing air intake,open out the injecters and fit colder plugs.
They are talking about moving the intercooler to the front of the engine.They are also talking 400bhp.
They have tuned one that a client uses purely for drag racing to 800bp!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to do this it requires a weekly engine rebuild
Anyway must go out and listen to the car again

Thought you'd like it.

Go to Sepang .. you know you want to

 

Thanks for the advice, seriously lightened my wallet but a result. One of the problems here is inlet temp. Whilst they were driving we were seeing 45-48
degrees hence we really now need the bigger turbo to finish the job.
As for Sepang, just got to go.
If you are ever in Phuket look me up.
