You'll be fine with what you have. I recently did the same with mine and it's fine with 6bs and standard intercooler. best thing to do before you go is check all your intake connections and make sure all is good, last thing you want is a leak when mapping.

+1 on this, most noticeable difference on my MY03 WRX was the Prodrive (other silicon Y Pipes are available) y pipe. Its has a larger diameter than the standard plastic once. Even un mapped, it helped with spool up, albeit a little.

Not really needed,a 3port will give better boost control more so at the top end but if you are sticking with the standard turbo then I would say spend the money elsewhere as a 2 port bcs will do you just fine.

I'd agree with the silicone intercooler pipes. If you're sticking with the TD04 WRX turbo then you won't need much more. My estimate would be 285bhp or just over.


Who's mapping it?
