Well I know the newage 2.5 motors have a problem with the pistons because I have just changed all the internals of mine due to this.
If it's the same, don't go over 1.35 bar or much more than 340bhp.

Vf28 on a standard 2.5 bottom end made 355 and 380lb/ft would expect similar. That was at 1.3 bar I think if I remember right. That same bottom end has had a 20g slapped on it and now an md555 and still going strong so just make sure you look after it and don't go silly with boost and should be OK with any luck

nice looking car.
Tend to find sometimes they make less power than if it were a 2litre but lots of torque or if the turbo wastegate cannot flow the extra exhaust gas away you get slightly more power like Chrispy200+ did on his.. but either way the torque is fantastic.

You will enjoy the torque of the 2.5. You can drive very quickly with next to no revs.

You may fine your gearbox a limiting factor in how much power you achieve anyway but as a point to note, Subaru dont rate standard STi pistons over 300bhp.Surprising as they produce the 340R with the same pistons. I had #2 and #4 break at 350bhp but im not sure the standard 5 speed box is much good over that anyway.

Dont know about mapping up your neck of the woods. I always use Bob Rawle but he is in Swindon. It will also depent on whether you want to go o/s or ecutek. Isn't Andy carr up your way? no experience with him personally though. Its worth travelling the extra miles to have an experienced respected mapper imho.
