Tell Me More About My Engine.

[cods4]

So I've just bought a caged v4 sti off trade me to get back into some clubsport and I've done some research to confirm what the seller told me is correct (it appears to be).

So the car has an engine built by PBMS with the following:

Closed Deck Block

Cosworth BEB

JE Pistons

M&H rods

PBMS Baffled Sump

Walbro 500hp fuel pump

Silicone intake hose (under manifold) to foam air filter in guard (not keen on this idea)

TD05 turbo with 28/71 comp wheel (interested to learn more about this?) Numbers on Turbo comp housing are TD05H 49778-62?? 14412AA09

Siamese downpipe and 3" exhaust (too loud for me, will get resonator installed)

Link G4 plug in ECU

Can anyone tell me anymore about all this? I'm keen to dial it in for reliability in the short term so I'm thinking of doing the following

Full service (cam belt, rocker cover gaskets, fluids, spark plugs etc

Make exhaust quieter and change air intake setup (ideas?)

Dyno test and possibly tune to check a/f ratios and find out more about the ECU config.

Yea do the above. Who built the turbo? Pics will help me remember the car im certain ive seen the auction with that kinky turbo combo.

The seller thought it was Steve Murch, however I don't have any evidence to support that. PBMS said that Steve usually engraves something into the compressor housing when he works on a Turbo, but I can't see anything on there (the turbo is in the factory location).
