That is one nice set of mods. The only thing i would change is the 550cc injectors to the next size up. Also the fuel rail you dont really need. What about a boost controller?

you can spend 850 on an intercooler if you want to say it's name brand but i have 2 friends w/ SRT4's and 1 friend w/ an STI that bought theirs off of ebay, got new piping for them, saved about 500 bucks and like it just as much... just trying to save you some green, but yes, i agree... you need a boost controller

from what i have read on here over time i WANT to say that the stock engine will take 23 psi.... but don't quote me on that. i'm pretty sure the stock head will take whatever you can dish out... within reason. but in time you may want to rebuild the block.

i'm pretty sure you're gonna need some headwork to reach that goal... w/ the engine that i'm "overhaulin" i'm building it from the bottom up with every possible thing in concideration and hope to reach the 450-500hp range. i'm not sure if the 16g will reach it... you'll also most likely need some new cams... i recomend HKS 264, they are very nice for quick accel and high RPM's and won't rock you while you idle... anybody that's further experienced please jump in any time here.

With that setup you can get around 350 and maybe 400 with head work and a good tune.
