Default Got my first scooby!

As titled really, i got my first subaru sunday!

Its an Import WRX Wagon in white, its done 45k (1998 car), its got a cat back exhaust and middle decat, brand new blitz air filter, a HKS SSQV and a later model of ECU apparently says the previous owner it also has some brand new Rota Boost wheels in copper colour with semi slick road legals on (pirelli Pzero's).

At the moment...im over the moon with it it grips like anything, but it seems much better i suppose because im coming from a 300bhp+ 200sx background for the past 2 and a half years.... which quite frankly are rubbish at corners unless you like staring out of your side windows. (which is fun but not quick )

Anyway, hi all, ill put some piccies up on the weekend, ive just got a couple of quick questions.

1. What do i need to get 300bhp? (i estimate its at about 250 presently)
2. What is the most boost pressure the standard turbo can take?
3. How much can the internals take?
4. What is the maximum width wheels i can fit without modifying the arches?

cheers

1.a remapp should put you near the 280bhp
2. 1.1 mate wouldnt go over that.
3.
4. you will be able to get 18" with low profiles at about 215 wide.just to be safe i went with 17" 215 width 40 depth.
