and slowly add some whiteline goodies as i see what improvements need to be mad around the track.

Do you actually need more power and torque? or are you just after numbers that looks good on a dyno chart?

As suggested before, better spending the money on some handling mods and more track time!

IMO headers on a stock turbo is one of those 1% mods just like a lighten pulley wheel
where you are trying to exhaust a few more hp, tho you wont get 300 from just headers more so an extra 10hp +-2hp

I wonder how a VF43 will go on a 207 with 1.6+ bar boost hmmm

Twinscroll sounds the best

never said i was going to upgrade the turbo...but im curious as to whats needed to get it to 300hp, sean at asg seem's to think the engines are able to handle 300 horses :/ so as a tuner i would think his pretty confident in saying that...but i understand where your coming from too....so many different opinions out there

At Evo R the other day they were repairing a hi-hp Pignose STi that had blown a head gasket. Not a tragedy but the more u ask of an engine the more something is likely to go wrong.
