my practicle family car lol
Bought this a few months ago as i wanted something that was fun and family friendly.
Was a totally standard UK car with Prodrive package from factory.
Then got it home and just spent a bit of time tidying it up and fitted a facelift bumper
and new back box
then fitted a few performance parts and tidied up the engine bay a bit
Quick spec now is.
HKS 2.2 stroker kit
HKS unequal length manifold (keeps burble)
Prodrive exhaust system (doesnt wake the neighbours)
HKS Induction kit
IHI VF22 turbo
Silicone turbo intake pipe
Front Mount Intercooler
550cc injectors
FSE power boost valve
and a few other wee tweeks
New wheels have now been put and and waiting for my new spoiler to arrive.
What ya think of the new toy then?
Thanks
Jamie

dont know the power tbh havent had it on the rollers yet.
Only future plans really are to get it stop lol need some nice brembos behind the alloys then ill be happy
Have carbon fibre sti6 spoiler coming for it and want a carbon fibre P1 splitter.
Not too much styling as i dont think they need much they are nice as they are
Maybe put a blue 2002 sti interior into it and that would be about it done i think

haha yep, well the wife has a proper sensible Seat Altea lol.
This is my idea of sensible and it works, i take the kids out regularly in it just turn the boost controller to OFF lol and it only runs standard 0.7 bar boost or there abouts and nice and easy to drive slowly.
Though my oldest daughter loves being thrown back in her baby seat haha she is as mental as her dad lol

cant really afford a better turbo at the min lol.
The VF22 is a cracking turbo i think and great for driving about the town because you never boost at all.
Then when you want it you have it
Yes the rota's will fit over brembo's no problem at all

Looks good fella
I also have the VF22, they may not be as strong as the TD series turbos but they can certainly do the job as long as you are not holding big boost for long periods

the most boost it sees is 1.2 bar i dont think it needs any more for road use.
Generally runs at 1 bar but then 1.2 for the fun times lol
