hi all
ive just spoke to a well known tuning company and explained i have a sti v5 just had full rebuild and when its run in about getting it mapped. he said to set it up etc would be ok but to get a re-map and to start turning boost up etc he wouldnt recomend with a v5 p1 or 22b because they are prone to going bang? is this right?? i have a full s/s ex. and pannel filter i would like to run 330bhp

 

who was the 'well known tuning company'?

 

If its PTS in Luton, run a mile as they are bunch of muppets.

 

na not pts mate i wouldnt!!!!!! just dont know what to do ten people swear one thing another 10 swear the opp it was power enginering uxbridge they came highly recomended and the bloke was sound but im just a bit

 

Your car will be fine with 330bhp if its been built right.

Just take it to a mapper that knows what they are doing. You'll need a couple of extra mods to get a reliable 330bhp (fuel pumpo and reg) but if the engine is a standard V5 STI then it should cope no problem.

 

I ran 360ps and 361lbft of torque on my standard MY00 GT engine for years with no problems so an STI engine shouldn't break a sweat at 330.

However 370ps and I snapped a rod on the rear left cylinder
