Seems cheap, but, I'm not sure about the gearbox, needs brake upgrade etc.

Well it still has its single pot calipers (its a wrx type R) so imagine how quickly you would cook those
I very much doubt its running 450+bhp, it may have all the right parts in the engine but it doesnt have all the right parts anywhere else for that power.

All that write up about the engine build, but no pictures....

Also is a TD06 25G capable of 500+ ?
