20g might do it with some octane booster? But at the moment I'm reading a lot about the MD321H/T Turbos which seem to be hitting 400bhp easy on 2.0l cars.

Your engine isnt strong enough as it is to do 400bhp, for reliability you would need a rebuild with decent internals, that wont be cheap either.
TBH anything over 330bhp will start costing you money (well anything over 270bhp will start costing you money), you would definately need to upgrade the brakes, possably the clutch and gearbox, a new ecu would be on the cards if you dont have one already.
Personally id save up and buy something that can easily run 400bhp rather than throwing your money at an MY98 car.

KJ, in your other thread I forgot to mention the insurance issue. If there's one thing insurance companies hate more than young drivers with points, it's modded cars and a capacity increase. Check it out first with somebody like A-Plan insurance. Make sure you're sitting down when they quote (if they will ). Sorry mate, but I think you're stuffed on the 2.5l route

Will hurt someone else though if you hit them. You could be classed as "without insurance" and prosecuted.

Well then maybe the best thing for you to do is grow up a little before going for that much power.

Spend your money on some English lessons, do some growing up, upgrade your Playstation Impreza, then - only then - think about driving anything.

My mum is 102 ..... I doubt she will mind a 14 year old paying her some attention!!

My sister is 75

Maybe my great grandaughter at 13 would appeal more to the young whipper snapper?

Careful mate, there's a fine line between 'mocking' someone and 'becoming the one who is mocked!'

Come on, you can tell us, are you really 20 and have an Impreza - or, are you 14 and are looking to modify your Playstation Car?

dude if you havnt told your insurance company about your mods your not insured anyway so i wouldnt worry about how much it costs! unless you got big bucks id sell the car sharpish if i were you cos with 260 odd at the flywheel which means gear box and engine bang and if your anything like i was at 20 it wont be long before that happens!! but hey wot do i care im not your dad! (woznt me) just a bit of advice from someone whos bin there and done that!! wize man say stupid is as stupid does!! its your money!!!
