Well the turbo is what is on it. I don't plan to change it and I was just trying to see if this is pushing 300. I can keep the boost low so I get more out of the engine. Also, as far as the tranny I will be easy with it. No hard launches or anything like that. Mostly a daily driver with a little fun here and there.

Unsure, to be honest this is my first turbo'd car. I doubt it does since he didn't list it. I will have to get more information about it from him and hope its right.

I'm with Shrek here. There looks to be a mismatch between the car (well engine and 'box, unless they've been changed out), the turbo on it and what you actually want from the car.
Plenty of more suitable ones out there.

I am just after a solid WRX or STI around the 4k GBP mark in my area.

I said: Hey was just curious how much boost it is set to? Does it have twin maps or different boost settings? And has it been dynoed with all the changes to it?
He replied with:
The boost when I bought the car two years ago was set to about 9 psi on the standard TD04 turbo and in the paperwork I have a receipt for a remap which was done but since then I've put in a new TD05 20g turbo with pink STI injectors and a high pressure performance fuel pump and had a Subaru specialist come to my house and remap it with his laptop and wired all the car up so he was having a fiddle on his laptop while I drove down the road so it hasn't had a rolling road test as such but all been done properly, he drove almost 4 hours to get to me and didn't have a way to give me a receipt and never actually told me what he set the BHP to but the boost gauge now boosts to about 15 psi and he said while he was remapping it that the turbo could actually boost to 500 BHP with no problem but whatever he set it to is a hell of a lot more then standard, since then I've contacted him through email asking him for a receipt for my records and he said he would email me one through but I haven't received it yet so I'll chase him up

I have been searching for days and can't find any good. And I can't find a single STI for 5k. 4k is pretty much my top but I could do more if something was very nice. The closest thing I can find is this
http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...#photo-content
And even that one has 82k miles.
My post code is IP28 8HB if you know of any good sites to search at.

As said, walk away. It'll also do well to get above 380 on pinks, unless they're flowed or there is an aftermarket FPR.
Way too many things don't add up, if a 'mapper' has said those things (I highly doubt they have), he is clearly someone who wouldn't be reccomended on here!

The car doesnt have 500 BHP the guy who mapped it said the turbo was capable of 500BHP. Also everyone is saying dont get it but WHY? I will know more information on the car tomorrow. Its worth a look for 20 minutes away.

What people are trying to "advise" you is that even if the parts fitted are of a high quality (which they won't be) they are ill advised to be fitted to a wrx. Bothe the engine and gearbox are simply not strong enough to cope.
Also I very much doubt Duncan would have said a 20g can do 500hp lol
I'll ask him tomorrow when I see him, you never know my vf43 may make 450

As has been said that car and engine are not capable of handling that sort of turbo reliably. The car has already done a lot of miles and expecting it to last long is wishful thinking. Do you really want to buy a car and then after a few months be back on here saying "my engine is making a knocking noise". Only to be told you now need to spend £3000 on a rebuild. It happens almost daily.
It doesn't matter if you drive it carefully, the point is that it may have been driven well beyond its limits already and you can't really only use half the boost to be careful. If you do it will lag and it will be pointless having a car with that turbo. Honestly if you are not going to listen why ask here in the first place?
