JCT seem to be building a decent rep, not only with the cars they sell but also standing up and sorting it if something is found to be wrong post sale. http://www.jctcars.co.uk/used-cars/subaru-impreza-2-5-wrx-4dr-rotherham-201612090485047 as above, need to confirm exactly whats been done to get it to 320. Needs be pop it over to scoobyclinic and chuck it on their dyno before you head home

Thinking about a Hawk...
Haha, no probs. Not all fail, just a higher percentage than typical for an engine. Built right (forged etc etc) 2.5 is a cracking road engine though, got one in my type r

Walbro 450
not sure what a stage 2 map is tbh. a remap is a remap

Walbro 450
Gonna need a rebuild and alot of money spent for that so fuel pump will prob be the cheapest thing you;d have to buy. Also prob into swirl pot setup at that point anyway. If your happy with what you have leave it be. Can always keep the pump as a spare, although i'd sell it and buy one later if i needed one

Forza Horizon 3
So i finally bought it. I've been spending a fortune in the auction lol, although to be fair saved ten time what i have spent. Bently GT3 for 50k, ferrari california for 28k (240k list price), Audi Group b rally car for 40k (375k list price), 22b for 20k (110k list price) etc etc Just spend an hour sat there bidding on any car i take the fancy of. Some cars seem to be harder to get than others, bidded on about 10 mclaren 650's and not won one yet.

Walbro 450
ah right, if you dont have any plans to go higher power later then just sell it on. If it aint broke, dont fix it ;)
- What does this do?
-
Walbro 450
255 would be plenty then. I'm on a walbrough 400 and not even close to maxing it out
-
Walbro 450
400's goes straight in and i can't imagine you'd need bigger than that. If you do i would suggest swirl pot setup anyway
-
Engine buy or build?
The real question is how deep are your pockets? your prob looking at 15k as a minimum to get it high 400's. people will say that's silly money, you can get it cheaper etc etc, but you find cheap tends to mean compromising and then reliability becomes an issue. List of parts soon adds up, Block (closed deck 2,5 would be my choice), Crank, Pistons, rods, heads, Turbo, ECU, injectors, fuel pump, map sensor, boost solenoid, Gearbox, Diffs, cooling (oil cooler), induction, intercooler, brakes etc etc etc You need to look at everything

boosting issues
unlikley it would be the pill mentioned above. Check all the leads and pipes are connected. going on from that could be a sensor fault
-
boosting issues
Before you go spending anything, need more info. Has it got mods, has anything changed to cause an issue or was it just fine one day then not the next?
