Default Going forged 2.5

After a bit of a wait I finially managed to source a forged 2.5 long engine for my hawkeye sti (thanks mattybr5),,nothing wrong with my original 2.5 but with wanting 400bhp I wasn't willing to push my luck with a standard engine (this will be being sold as a long engine (cheap),,,, so thought I would tidy it up a bit and add a few bits ready for the drop in at the end of the month before mapping

Added
3 bolt headers
Swapping to recirc (came with VTA)
Secondary air pump removal
Tgv deletes have been painted to match manifold in red crinkle (VHT)
Manifold has been reprinted in red crinkle
Rocker covers sprayed in red crinkle
Cam covers dipped with subarus in mind (money , money , money , lol)

I'm happy with it and can't wait to see what its like once its in the car
