You mean AVA as is in Linwood direction? I wouldn't be listening to them mate. I run 2.5" (as many others do too) and i was pushing 330bhp and now going on to 400bhp. Andy F i believe has run over 400bhp using 2.5" system.

I would be looking elsewhere for your problems.

Head on over to www.scottishscoobies.com where the scottish mob hang out where a lot of good advice from around scotland is. (that includes me btw)

Yes if it is a UK classic. If it is an early wrx classic it should be about 230-235bhp (240 on japanese fuel)

the exit from the backbox is very small,they said this is the problem/also the 222bhp is at the wheels is this where you quote from or is it flywheel? yes its an import

If your car got 222bhp at the wheel, then there is noting wrong with the scoprion back box... cos the result is very good!

You'll get more from the stock factory backbox LOL

...I'd be looking at the other end of the car for the cause

The higher (and most common) BHP results is at the flywheel
