Oh and I'm having it serviced and the alignment done as well.

Should I just go for Zaks fast road setup or do you recommend something different mate?
The fast road setup I had on 53WRX was brilliant ! Good handling will more than make up for any minor power losses. It might be a pain but at least you won't be so restricted for fill ups. Costs me £6 a trip to go from mine to the nearest Shell and back.

........so yes pretty standard - minimal mods.
Sweet, so for not much outlay you got almost 100Ft Lbs of extra torque, cool. Did your car make the manufacturers numbers to start with ? My 2.5 was bang on the subaru numbers.

Maybe, results can differ between cars. I think Fozzy got 325 / 310 with much the same mods, but I don't know what it was at the wheels and what basis he quotes the fly wheel. He probably uses the 16% over WHP but you may well achieve 330/330 on some rollers

My standard WRX (apart from a PPP exhaust) got 202bhp at the wheels pre-remap.
Added a Revolution Apollo CAI kit and it got 202bhp at the wheels
Zak remapped it and it got 212bhp at the wheels (I think).

However, if he hadn't told me the figure post remap I would have sworn that he'd added 50bhp the change felt that significant!

Forget peak numbers it's the area under the torque curve that counts

Dont chase numbers fella, just feel the difference with it on the road.

Unfortunately for Zak, he doesnt inflate his power figures, so therefore looks "on paper" less than some other tuners.

99% of the bhp figures quoted on here is absolute @rse anyway.

Go and have your car mapped, feel the difference and then look at the numbers. I bet you it will make more than quoted on any of the rollers anyway

Cheers Frayz - i fully understand what your saying. Figures are for the pub only and lets face it theres not much on the road that can touch a properly tuned STI in the real world. Im still loving the PPP so an extra bit of power/torque would make my smile even bigger!

I can only agree, just had my car mapped, was originally PPP'd now the difference is amazing, noticeably smoother power delivery and much more mid range grunt just where you need it.

Should do for 6 months or so until I fancy a few more horses

Zak is a top man, and gives you full confidence in his ability and workmanship

My figures are 287 @ the wheels, which equates to around 332 with 300ish torque.

Just registering my interest officially. Before the remap is done, I would want to have a new downpipe and maybe up-pipe.

My car is a 2004 WRX with current mods only being air filter and H&S centre & backbox

I have been told before that before I have the remap, I will need an uprated fuel pump. Is this right?

View my scooby fella, you are following pretty much the same mods as me for the WRX and I didn't have an uprated Fuel Pump.

Your fuel pump was a very good and often rare example 53WRX, more often than not the fuel pump will have to be changed.
