This is the way I have bought the car it's currently running 350bhp with 300lbs of torque, apparently it's good too push 600 bhp with a new turbo since it's still only running on the standard turbo he didn't want to take it too high.

Now I know very little about the engine mods that have been done but I sure as hell want to buy a new turbo and get the extra BHP, any advice on which turbo or any mods to think about next would be greatly appreciated guys

Thanks and welcome to my build.

 

my hatchback build might give you some ideas

Your car looks amazing man. Very nice performance figures aswell love the black colour on a hatchback, jealous of the touchscreen headunit must admit

 

Very nice car bud there's a thread on here about hatches well worth a read
Welcome to scooby net

 

Really nice! I do like those sti hatches.

 

thanks mate , its been a bit of work getting it to where it is now and its still having bits done every now and again so there never really finished lol ,,, the touch screen is ok but there are some much better aftermarket units out there but they don't connect up to the car like the 330 ones does so Im sticking with it for now , just doesn't connect up to my phone

 

Thats a nice colour.

 

Nice car mate.

I wouldn't push much past 500bhp with the 11mm head studs. You are much better with 14mm head studs at 600bhp.
Plenty of turbo to pick from. But a good 450/450 hatch with good handling and brakes will make an epic road car.

 

thanks for the knowledge. I'll keep it in mind when it's time for a new turbo

 

Since it was sunny I decided to fit a new grill and give it a wash
