will my ej255 and 5 speed in my hawkeye blow up if i run like a mild dynotune on it, my goal is try to push like 250-275 horsepower to the wheels. i already have a magnitude of supporting mods like a grimm speed aos, cobb sf intake, cyl 4 cooling ext and an sti intercooler waiting to be put on. i had radium fuel rails delivered today, i have an aem 340 fuel pump coming in the mail, and new ngk one step colder plugs coming as well. i am ordering an invidia downpipe, accessport, and id 1050 injectors in the coming weeks. the motor has 83k on it. i believe the clutch is the original clutch as well, its still strong but i believe that its gonna go bye bye eventually once i throw more torque at it. my tuner said my motor would be fine, same with my mechanic. i was reading that e85 is alot safer with these motors so should i invest in a flex fuel sensor and lines as well? i do have flex fuel readily avaliable in my area so i was considering it. looking for opinions and recommendations

honestly a vf52 might be too big, vf48 maybe?

Vf52 is factory turbo on a 09-14 wrx

#

Wont be bolt in because of flange

#

Isnt the 48 the same as the 52 just with the older ej outlet

I mean the mod list is solid, aside from the grimmspeed AOS, which does nothing and is the worst AOS sold (and even the best AOS sold specifically for these cars, killer B, is hot fucking garbage.) The 1050s are certainly overkill for your power goal, but if you're going to have them, it's excellent to have the rails and pump to match. The SF is a nice intake and has good cal data available, which is cool.

If you're on a USDM 07 wrx the main thing I'd be doing is switching the turbo out for a VF39/48, which is bolt in (not VF52, that's leggy fitment) and would easily give you your goal power and then some with your mod list
