F*** me with a rusty old piece of pipe. That's a sweet figure.

You do realise you have more than double the power of a standard MY00 Impreza! That’s just plain daft, but awesome all the same.

Top man.

Superb figures - Nice job, and significantly higher than your old 2.0 so bet it makes it all worth while.

Has it managed to retain a nice daily drive feel to it, spooling relatively early.

Very nice graph, and can imagine that being a total animal. Its relatively easy to get big power on any car by bolting on a dustbin sized turbo, whacking up boost and not giving a fly feck about longevity or drivability.

But it takes some serious dedication, effort and thought, not to mention wonga, to get to those power/torque levels and retain a strong reliable engine and very driveable. Top job to both of you.

Its cost £4k for engine and turbo so not that bad and the whole car owes me after selling bits about £13k

If you consider pure £'s for BHP. Thats incredible value for money. Thats super car performance for Ford escort money.

My bro has spent 20K on a engine build and EFI conversion on his 1981 911 turbo, and thats without all the other mods and cost of base car and he is going to end up with a bullet prooff 450bhp/500ftlb.

Thats what I love about scoobs no matter what state of tune, they represent huge value for money whether it be a stock UK, or a heaily modified scooby.

So whats next .!?

Theres a couple of things but I'll just have to let you wait and see.
Only little bits but had a very interesting day speaking to a customer & ex prodrive and mitsi rally director of engineering who is a free lance now . His face when i said i had a scoob light up and said hats of and would you like to try ??????????
Wait and see if he comes up trumps be for I say a word
