Default Dump valve advice please

Should I fit one and a bigger exhaust or leave standard?

Think you could get away with a longer exhaust, but those do tend to run rich with a VTA

Its only running 550 watts at 220volts...how much do you think it will cost me to get to say 800watts...Will I need to forge it..are Cosworth parts available? My ultimate goal is to be able to run a microwave oven in my motorhome .

make sure you declare the mods to the insurance.

its not a v5 they had bigger feet on the bottom.
looks like someone sold you a v4 with the inferior power.
you will need a map and possibly a new fuse to toast crumpets in one hit but this may break the plug, weak point on the v4.

Ok heres a dashboard pic...im sure its version 5 as it has the silver fuel gauge???? Also uploading a pic of the exhaust system ( think its a Nur spec x) and the airbox...I believe this was repositioned in Japan by a tuner before import...thats what the seller said anyway...although im unsure..all I really know is I have bought a lemon...coloured Subaru and it struggles against a crumpet.



uprated airbox
