you gearbox wont take 400 bhp and it will be an expensive excercise to get a uk turbo to 400 bhp.

far cheaper to get a newage sti which already has the 6 speed box and the engine will take 400 bhp easily without the need to forge, just bolt on a turbo and a few supporting mods.


you are talking at least 5k to get that out of a uk turbo.

Alot more than 5 grand to get a reliable and useable 400bhp from a classic.
