No not had it strengthend. Scoobyclinic told me would be ok for 340hp. Just got HSD coilovers, japspeed decat, invidia n1 cat back, injen cold air, baileys dv and scoobyclinic are fitting a perrin 3 port before mapping.
they said anything over that will need new pistons which is a shame was hoping to do a bigger turbo one day and fmic, carnt really afford an engine build. I guess the 2.5ltr arent as strong as the 2.0ltr. Still 340hp is still quick for awd. I used to have a blobeye that was 340hp and that was quick.
if any of you have instagram the new owner is attak_sti i did the abw wide arch kit on it but he has took it to the next level. Least it went to a good home
