how much work exactly to put it in a v5 type R? and i presume i would need a remap?

 

[forester sti]

A bit of plumbing work involved, I think the clutch fluid resevour needs to be moved!
A remap would be advisable alright, But might be ok, Cooler charge temp would want more petrol and if she doesn't automatically increase the fueling to match then she could run lean and melt a piston!
If ever planning a turbo upgrade then would defo be worth the hassle!
