Schimmel Performance, they supplied a big pile of engine parts as well, but I haven't got around to building that yet.

Don't want to map a freshly built motor from scatch, will be easier and less risky to map my old one with a spacer and then I can just run the new motor in safely before doing a full dyno map on it.

Depends on how much power you want and how good the tuner is, but people make 300-400hp quite easily, have seen one making over 550hp

Head spacer increases the compression ratio. Very important for those running a bigger aftermarket turbo on the VR motors as Vert and Rob.

It decreases it and its just a cheap way of boosting an na engine

sorry yep I meant decreases. Typically reduces the compression down to 9:1 which is good going for turbo running VR6's

The spacers will work fine, just as long as it dont get to hot.
But having the spacer will help with the heat.
Plus the subaru scoop on the bonnet.........that old chestnut :laugh:
Look forward to this car going again, it scared the hell out of me 8)
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?
