is engine mods? too many miles?
 

is a 33,000 mile engine too many miles to start moding? (2003 sti) do you rekkon its too tired and asking for trouble? its totaly standard at the moment.

would you bother?

what do you rekkon i will need for 350bhp?

no way

get it done!!!

my classic is getting towards 70k and am just starting on more major engine work!! and on yours i would say only mild tuning (exhaust, decat etc) and a remap will see you nearer 350

Plenty of threads for the 350 - do a search on here. Why would the engine be too tired at 33k? Probably near its peak at the moment, nicely run in.

You can get close to 350 with the std turbo.

what a silly thing to say,

my dear boy, my 99 scoobs done 137000miles (70000 on current engine) and m planning future mods to hit 300/300:lol1:

I would say that Mods are better done on a higher mileage engine as you can sensibly change the bearings and other items as well as chasing extra BHP :thumb:

ie. It's more cost effective on a high miler IMO

your engine is past it mate, time to bin it and sell me that genome box:Suspiciou
