What do you guys think? Options

[cjk123]

I am going to look at this car this weekend and was wondering what you guys thought about from what the guy told me. Also was wondering if any of you had any questions that i should ask while i am looking at the car. I am trying to get back into the dsm world and i think this would be a good way. I would love any feedback if you could give me some. Thanks guys.

This is the discription of the car.

This is a front wheel drive, 5 speed, turbo charged car with about 164xxx miles on it. The car has never been wrecked, passes Missouri safety and emission inspections, and is ready to drive anywhere. The interior overhead lights and the air conditioning do not work. The black hood on the car was added for my personal visual enjoyment and the body color hood is sitting in my basement and can be placed on the car easily.

I have done a lot of work to this car to make it quicker and more fun to drive. Almost all of the below work was done at either 146xxx miles or later.

I replaced the timing belts, water pump, auxilary belts, belt tensioners and guides, and had a valve job done on the head at 146000 miles.

At that time, I added a big 16G turbo, ported and polished by Archer Racing Accessories in Duluth, MN, on it, ported 2nd gen manifold, 80mm (a little bigger than 3 inches) downpipe, 80 mm high flow catalytic converter, 80mm catback exhaust on it. The car also has a TeamRip 85mm mass air flow sensor on it, magnecor wires, homemade boost controller, and arp head studs.

I added ground control coilovers with kyb agx adjustable struts and ground control front camber plates, energy suspension bushings throughout the chassis, a suspension techniques 26mm rear sway bar, and archer racing accessories front and rear strut tower bars at the same time.

The car rides on a set of 16x8 Roh Spyder wheels with Fuzion ZRi tires sized at 245/45/16. The car uses a set of front awd dual piston calipers with Carbotech Panther Plus pads up front to stop and Goodrich braided brake lines at all four corners.

The car has a fidenza aluminum flywheel and an ACT 2100 clutch that was done at 140xxx miles and I just replaced the transmission and ball joints at about 163xxx miles.

the car has a walbro 255 high pressure high volume fuel pump to go with the turbo and the teamrip mas air flow has tuning built into the unit.
also said no griding at all and not even any notches at all.
Also said he would sell me a wrx top mount intercooler for $100 but im not really sure how extensive the fabrication would have to be for one of those used as a front mount.
He said it didn't have 550's but that he would recomend me getting them.

He is very open to questions about the car so if you guys have anymore keep them coming.

That is about it really, he said the exhausst rattles a little cuz there isnt much clearance on it. If i wrapped parts of the exhaust in heat wrap do you think that would help the rattle?

Also with all the mods that are done to it, would it be worth it for me to get some intercooler piping?
Any other mods besides the 550's you guys would look into doing soon?
Dont really have any money for expensive mods just to let yall know, in feb i will be able to if that is what i am looking to do with the car.
