might already be there, have you got an uprated fuel pump on there because a lazy standard pump was what killed my last engine
best bet get it on the rollers for a power run and check its running all ok, that way you will also find out what the figures are if you need to know

What is the car going to be used for, that will dictate what further things you should do to the car.

First things first - detalarm/knocklink and boost gauge, apologies if I'm stating the obvious. FWIW my STi4 made 302bhp on power engineering's dyno fresh after a rebuild with only a downpipe, 2.5" exhaust and filter. It's getting a fuel pump, ported headers and Apexi remap soon.

What TK said and others, if it's safe it'll probably make 300 on Vpower or Tesco 99 and some octane booster. Use octane booster at every fill to be on the safe side until you get a mappable ecu. Knocklink will let you know if there's a det problem rather than finding out the expensive way.
