| Just noticed that Steve's car is already running at 360bhp with 410lbs torque - I wouldn't go any more than that mate. Plenty on a Hawk with oem internals. |

| Like mario has already said the car is already mapped to 360bhp so I wouldn't take it too much further with it having only the standard 5 speed Wrx box still fitted as these can easily go once getting towards the 400bhp mark as the are nowhere near as strong as the 6 speed Sti box

| As above, that's already a lot of torque through a 5 speed box. Next upgrade should be gearbox before any more power. | |

| anything more than 360-370 on standard internals then your asking for trouble with head gaskets blowing.
some have run then with more but there a time bomb waiting to happen. As stated above if you want more than 400 then 6 speed gearbox, then forged engine with bigger turbo.
lots of money also. | |

| The hawk 5speeds are stronger than the other 5speed boxes not the 6 speed levels. Theres people running over 400bhp and 400lbft on the boxes just easy on the launches. The 5speed does give quite long gears and it'll feel nicer than the 5speed in the blobeye. | |

| we ran a tad over 400 bhp & 430ftlb, with a 321t on the hatch, for 3 months but thought we were tempting fate & put the vf48 back on & ran 370/391 without issue for 16month before we sold it, I know people bang on about the 2.5 choccy pistons, but IMO its how you treat it that makes the difference. | |

| Your not wrong maxboost, i service my impreza every 1000 miles, plugs,oil,oil filter and a full gearbox and transfer fluid change on try and keep everything cleanly lubricated, its overboosting at the moment so im just driving her canny with minimum boost incase i pop anything | |
