Default Advise on selling my wrx please (value)

Im unfortunately having to sell my car due to needing a van :/ and im struggling to put a price on it and im not willing to break it can someone please show some opinions
I have a 2002 Wrx non import
it has 107k miles
the car its self is in reasonable condition couple of small scratches and age related marks, The front bumper has a ding in it which ive been quoted 150 to sort.
It drives faultlessly with no problems.
The engine is a freshly built 2.1 using manley rods, mahle pistons, Acl bearings, Cometic gaskets engine done 2k miles.
650cc dutchworks injectors
EGR delete manifold
kinugawa TD0620g
De-Cat through out
ported headers
3" stainless exhaust throughout
Blast reinforcing gearbox plates
FMIC
Anti Lag
Greddy touch obc
Exedy pink clutch
apexi turbo timer
probably more that i cant think of right now...
currently running 370bhp but the turbo is holding it back if you wanted to get more.

What can i realistically value this car at?

Many Thanks Alex

Sad to say it but you'll struggle to see much more than £4/5k at best I'd say and you've obviously put a lot more than that into it, it's always only ever going to be a modded WRX at the end of the day. I also suspect it wouldn't break for a great deal more than £4k with no ECU or 6 speed, so breaking value wise you're looking at what you'd get for the engine, turbo, exhaust, injectors and maybe a few other bits as the main value items, the rest is going to be piece meal and a waiting game.

Realistically £3500. Less mileage and with a bit more info on who built it, RR print out, service history, tyres, etc etc but it's just a UK WRX running 370 on standard brakes.

I would've thought your cars worth nearly 4k! Im currently having a stroker built
I see you're using a kinugawa turbo,I've noticed these for sale on ebay,amongst other brands,the mamba brand one produces over 400bhp!?
Can i ask your opinion the turbo? as they're a third of the price of big name turbos! Are they a third of the quality??

The markets strong at the minute bud... if you have a freshly built 2.1 and the bodywork is in fairly good shape then the mileage is kind of irrelevant really. As long as you have plenty of receipts...I'd go in at £4500-£5000 and wait for the right buyer.
It would be a shame to break it....

I'm curious about that TD06 holding it back? I'm about to buy a Kinugawa TD05 20g twin scroll for my JDM, but going by what you're saying here it might be pointless, as I already have 364hp from the VF37!

i really wouldnt bother, cheap ebay tat turbos that seems to give more crap results than decent ones. been at least 5 threads on here where people end up selling them instead of fitting them or they havnt done the numbers

Made by Kamak, who also manufacture IHI turbos, so definitely not eBay 'tat', athough they are cheap by comparison to the 'name tax' that gets slapped on any turbo by a UK supplier.

Have seen far more positive reviews than negative ones to be honest, especially in the USA and NZ where they sing them praises.

Question stands, did your mapped say it was the turbo holding it back?

that a bit like saying fiat are as good as ferrari cos they are made by the same company

KYB make the standard shocks but they fail and knock, the uprgaded ones don't.

Two very differen't products.

The mileage is very relevant. Epic engine but the if the rest of the chassis components have not been uprated then getting the power down will be compromised.
