JamesF Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 The 18G is capable of up to 380bhp but remember that it's not bhp that makes a fast car its torque. My car pulls like a train through all the gears and I can guarantee that you would not be dissapointed. Headers ported and wrapped were £260, Up pipe was supplied, wrapped and ported for £130 and down pipe was wrapped for £70. Not cheap but headers are gonna cost you circa £500 then you have to get them wrapped too so another £200 or so. James.
DaveHelium Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 ive just fitted headers this week to my sti, ive got a full 3" exhaust aswell and remapped and it also got 340bhp and 330 of torque! and thats on the standard turbo and thats set running a wee bit rich to be safe!

I port, polish and Wrap headers + Uppipe + Turbo (Exhaust inlet and wastegate penny) for £160. If you just want the parts done (ie, no fitting) then its £100. I have supplied several sets of GT Spec II headers (supplied and wrapped) for £465. You may need to consider using someone else nex t time[] Russell
euan_r Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 well i have an uprated thermostat and for what its worth u wont get any heat comming through the vents at all which is especiallly unhandy at this time of year. My temps when pushing, due to air flow throw rad, hardly get subaru temp sensor above min. ps. i can live with metal fatigue []
