Default im new... i have a gc8

hey im new here as i bought a GC8 club spec evo 4 couple of months ago.. just wanted to see if anyone could help me out with my car mods.
Question is how much power at the wheels would i be producing??
the car doesnt have much history am working pretty hard on it at the moment to get it tidyed up then going to tune but wanted to know the power i could possibly expect??
list of mods is:

front mount intercooler
injectors
garrett 3076r turbo top mount (HUGE)
external wastegate with 1" screamer pipe
hks blow off
short air intake to turbo

I think that all of the means nothing to answer your question as to how much power it should be making.

I would be tuning it before tidying it so you dont have to add a motor to your list of things to do.

Sorry, without being rude, still gives up no way to answer your question.

100 other variables.

It really depends on the tune. It could have 100kw or 240kw. If the bloke said it has forged pistons I'd assume it's had a 207 transplant. Check the engine number to see if it's the original block or a new one?

I'd be finding out more about the tune status as well. If he did any research at all or the work was done at any reputable workshop, it should have a tune of some sort. Perhaps ask the bloke about it? You can also take it to any workshop and chuck it on a dyno to find out for yourself. Check out evo R section on here. I think it's $80 or something for a dyno run.

Hi.. Nice choice.. I like the CsE4s.. Except for the Black wheels...As far as Kwts atw... it depends on who and how it is tuned.. How many pounds of boost do you want to run ??? How long do you want your engine to last ??? How often are you going to give it some stick ???? Too many variables.. One thing is for sure.. a safe tune is the best way to go unless you have deep pockets and can afford a new engine if you spin a bearing or what ever.. Yo don't know the history of the car so i would not go any higher than 16lb to be on the safe side.. At least then you know you are not flogging it to death when you give it a boot full. I am not familiar with that turbo and you haven't mentioned if it has bigger injectors and an upgraded fuel pump.. A front mount is not necessarily a good thing. They often just cause lag and slow you down.. a water cooled big top mount is often better. You should also remember that kwts atw are just numbers and mean very little. My daughters WRX is 206 kw atw and my blue one is only 180 BUT mine will beat hers by 1.5 seconds every time over 1/4 mile because of the extra torque that my blue one has (2.5ltr) ... Nobody is even going to guess what you would have... Like someone said.."how long is a piece of string... Cheers.
PS... These wheels look good on a CSE4....
