Subaru Impreza STi V5 Type R

Howdy y'all.
After having this Scoob for over a year now I've finally got round to taking some half decent pics!
My iPad is being a pain and not letting me post more than 1pic per post so more to follow.




Basically it's a 2.1 CDB with RCM stroker kit, Syvecs engine management, ID1000cc injectors, ceramic RCM exhaust headers and up pipe and a standard VF28 turbo and Hybrid FMIC. AP CP5200s with 330mm discs, Tein superstreets and a 6speed Hawkeye DCCD gearbox. Running 330/330 mapped at EngineTuner in Plymouth.
It was purchased brand new in the UK from Subaru with no warranty, only covered 39k (all miles) and a massive folder of reciepts including the original sales brochure (obviously only available in Japan and all in Japanese), original Subaru key fob, every MOT certificate etc etc
Opinions and constructive criticism please.
Paul.

Have you run out of money for the turbo?

Ha, kinda yeah!
When I got it it was running 350hp and was on the limits of the TMIC, 440cc injectors, gearbox, MAF and turbo so I'm doing my best to uprate everything in the pursuit of more power with reliability as the top priority.
Budget is always a factor. I shelled out over 4k this month on the fuel system, FMIC and ECU - I honestly couldn't stretch another 2k for a turbo at the time.
Hopefully going twin scroll and AVCS route which will should make it a nippy road car.

Fantastic car. Why the black bootlid though, has it had a rear end shunt?

Thanks!
The boot and spoiler are carbon fibre. Modern day GoFasterStripes maybe but it's SO much lighter than OE.
