Don't talk utter bollocks!

You can acheive 400bhp without running stupid boost using a well spec'd turbo, appropriate TMIC and map to suit.

Front mount and uprated injectors bring power, sustained sprinting and bags of insurance for little outlay
why on earth do u need to replace the tmic and injectors, they both good for 400bhp and as OP stated hes only looking for 360, more than enough and saves cash by not replacing uneeded parts, even if he goes for 400 which he mention later, i wouldnt personally recommend that unless u looking at forged pistons etc, around 400bhp it gets expensive, stay at 360-380 more than enough for road car

But you both don't listen to him he's wants a FMIC for sustained driving and uprated fuel pump and injectors should always be the first thing in mind when you are uping power at least 100bhp.

unless hes going into the 400+ zone id stay with the tmic, less lag and hes should really be looking at a forged rebuild to safeguard his engine anways, as said stay on the safe side with approx 360-380 and ur engine wont crap out. Also the 550cc injectors are fine at around that bhp, the key to all of this is the guy who maps it

yup, as said above, don't waste money on unnecessary parts. stay at or below 400, no worries.

Was thinking that, but waited for someone else to say, just to be sure.

Or you could just buy a jdm sti, fit a sports cat 3" exhaust and get s remap, will get you 350 and the all important torque figure to match.

FMIC will make the power much easier than a tmic of whatever flavour. The VF35 will be hard pushed on a tmic to make 360 but possible with a fmic.

I do agree with shaun though making a bigger turbo work less hard will make the power easier and could run on tmic but if there are any intentions of taking on track then fit a fmic - it will make it much safer and make better power too.
