Cool. The stock injectors are 550cc on that motor I believe. If you plan to run anything over 325HP (which you are close if you are looking for 275 at the wheels) then you might need more fuel. Could be worth a larger injector for the possibility you want more oomph....which you will eventually.

Ed,
The car is looking great painted. Very excited to see it come together and run.
You mentioned you plan to run a larger turbo & I assume injectors. Have you picked out a turbo yet?
Having followed this thread with the previous owner, I also suggest fabricating a new downpipe from the turbo with a bellmouth or divorced wastegate pipe.
Hey Matt
Hope all is well. I have a Subie tuner near me, he is suggesting a VF23 Hybrid, which runs a different impeller. No need for different injectors, I am going for a pretty modest gain. I am thinking around 275HP to the wheels. The agree with the downpipe, it is on the list
I don't think the injectors are going to be my limiting factor, I am more concerned about cooling the air as getting airflow through the intercooler, and placing the intercooler for that matter, are going to be challenges which may make 250RWHP more realistic, Once I get it running I can switch injectors, especially if I ultimately end up with a water to air intercooler. What my real plan entails is dropping it off to the tuner and letting him figure it out. It will get a bellmouth down pipe immediately.
In addition to those performance thoughts taxing my minimalist brain, I am knee deep in evaporator air conditioner parts so I can drive the car year around here.
