I ran a standard 7afe 0.6mm HG on my 7AGE with small port pistons about 12-12.5:1 comp ratio N/A POWER shame i sold it before i used it :oops:


it doesnt make that much difference, its still down in the 8.something area. they are a 3layer steel one and they are almost idiotproof. you need all the help you can get with a little engine.

Man 6k would only be half way!!


It cost me 4k to wind mine up to 210kw, that dont incl any parts or labour for the turbo conversion or any engine work. Just fuel system, ecu and tune :?
I think its worth it though, my car is alot of fun now and gives the average evo or wrx a run for its money :P
