2.5 tuned right won't increase the risk if failure up to mid 300's. They have a high failure rate even left alone. Beyond that your pushing the limit, sti's don't have proper forged pistons any more, the rods won't take much more than 400 so 350 your Into forging territory.

i'd leave the front alone and upgrade the rear on it, not 100% sure on the standard size on a hatch, sure somene will be along to tell you. doing the rear helps with canceling some fo the understeer, so if you do both you balance it out rather than correcting it.

Welcome. Rust will be a big concern on cars that age. Rear arches are highly likely to be on the way out. Bear in mind they rot from the inside out so if any is visible then alot will be hidden behind it, don't be fooled by someine claiming it's only the odd bubble of surface rust.

2.5 hg is a full rebuild job. Anyone saying anything else I would question their knowledge.

Tbh I'm not convinced, they will still be reliant on aero instead of mechanical grip. -
Forza for me all day long. Although car selection on gran tourismo was always better, mainly cause it had about 30 different scoobs haha

Make mishimoto look like cheap tat, but you won't get much change from £1700 for a perrin one.

as said, if your replacing the pistons and rods then may as well get the 2.1 kit, only difference it the crank. there's no repalcement for displacement as they say

Always advisable to remap an import, need to run it on 99ron, vpower or Tesco. Best bet give a tuner a ring and have a chat with them, they will be able to advise on how to go about it and costs

Changing the exhaust will change how it sounds not just the volume level, so it Sounds like your just getting more noise from the turbo. If its been checked out then I would assume that's what it is and just keep on ear on it to see if it changes.
