Mine runs a TD0520g modified by Harvey Smith, has been dyno-ed at 422 bhp. FMIC is a good idea, which means using an intake kit.
Who is going to be mapping it? You need to budget for 6-speed box and uprated clutch. Are you having the 2.5, or the 2.0 litre conversion? |

Your biggest issue if you want go for bigger turbo is gearbox,you will need 6 speed or PPG plus clutch and from this i would go for turbo etc.
For 2.0L i would go with SC42/SC46 or Harvey 20G 650cc injectors FPR something like Aeromotive,FuelLab Harvey selling HDi FMIC which are proven and good No at least i would invest money to brake,OE 4pots are not the best for New age,Brembo or K-Sport will be in my view best solution Jura |
Groan, do you expect your nine year old suspension and brakes to cope with 400 bhp ?
Upgraded STI brakes, and probably coil-overs as a minimum. Then stick some bigger injectors in, no need for the FPR swap then, FMIC is good when heading past 400 bhp. Turbo depends on your budget. All IMHO. dunx P.S. You will need to budget for an uprated clutch too ! |

amazing to think of the money people spend to get their wrx to 400bhp mark isnt it ? and these i believe would be good prices ?
brakes £800 coilovers £600 turbo £1000 6spd fitted £ 3500 ?? clutch fitted £ 600 ?? intercooler £400 fpr £200 and then pay for it all to be fitted and mapped !!!!! :freak3: shiiiiit !!!!! didnt realize it would be around £8000 ! maybe i should concentrate on brakes ? |

As you are said get good brakes with coilovers,some ARB's and Droplinks and you have nice car there. Jura |
