Default S2 Engine/Tuning Advice

Right, I've just landed a job that comes with a company car...

If all things go well with this and I feel secure in it then I'll be selling my Impreza that I use as a daily driver..

I will use some/most of the money from that to upgrade/fix my S2 that I have kind of neglected in the last 6 months.


Current Spec is:

Brand New Engine 14k ago
K&N Panel Filter
Half Magnex/Half 'Scrap'ion Exhaust
Piper 285 T2 Cam
GRS EVO 3 Intercooler
Turbosystems Stage 1 Chip
Helix Organic Clutch
Rebuilt Gearbox 4k ago


Was rolling roaded at 167bhp @ wheels before I fitted Piper 285 Cam.... After that I took the car off the road (SORN) and it has sat in the garage being run once a fortnight, however, for the past 3-4 months it hasnt been started.


What I would like, would be at least 200bhp @ wheels.

I have an idea what parts I will need, but if you guys could give me a hand with anything I miss out or if there are other options that would be better for the car, and some help with what sort of prices things will cost then that would be great.


Stage 3 Head
EFi Conversion
Hybrid Turbo
3" Mongoose Exhaust
AVA Manifold
Water Injection
Cossie Brakes or Hi-Spec Brakes?
Oil Temp/Oil Pressure/Boost Gauges
Can I fit an Air Fuel Gauge easily enough to an S2?


What sort of management should I change to, or will the standard stuff with the Turbosystems Chip be enough??

Also the car manages to destroy batteries on a monthly basis.. Kills them, when dead and charged from another car, as soon as you turn car off...... try to restart it and it wont do a thing, absolutely nothing?!?

Thanks alot for reading this essay!!!


Cheers,
Grant
