Well a standard uk engine is either 208 or 215bhp. You say MY99 so 215bhp
You say you have 266bhp at the wheels. To me that isnt a standard uk engine.
Are you saying by bolting on mods and not touching internals your engine is still standard?

A standard car is a car that has not been modified.
A standard engine is a engine that has not been modified.
A standard engine with a change of turbo etc remains a standard engine.
Modifying the engine would involve changing things like pistons, rods, blocks, heads, valvetrains etc...
My engine is exactly the same as the day it left the Subaru factory.

My P1 was also pretty quick, my current car the 01 wrx is painfully slow, but hope that will change with the remap today
