do you know i bet its been asekd over and over again hahhaha buti have a uk turbo 98 i been told its a **** yr because i cant have tek 3 ,

BUT WHAT what is the best and cheapest way for 280 bhp ive already got a full blitz system on my car ,
but it lacks aceleration as my wrx was close to 300 bhp b4 i sold it wish i didnt i boughti t already modded ,

i really want the acceleration out of my motor


a remap / ecu will be on the cards but which is the best and cheapest one not neccesarily the cheapest but what partsshould i have on my car but i get the map to push it to 280

pulled 281 out of my 98 Uk with a Power Engineering daughterboard on the ECU, K+N Panel and full de-cat exhaust.... Very happy with it, till I came to do changes again - expensive (at the time) to have it re-remapped...

Since then I've gone the way of Power FC ECU - bout the same price to purchase, but cheap remaps for further mods (I've had 2 since fitting.)-

maybe have a chat with AndyF regarding the latter -

You'd be hard pushed to get 280 BHP out of a TD04 with a large budget, let alone a small one

Cheapest thing to do as a halfway house is get the monitoring devices installed - boost gauge, knocklink and AFR meter at least, port the headers, then get a Dawes device and up the boost. Uprate the panel filter if it hasn't been done already

This will get you 260 - 270 BHP cheaply.

Other options are Power engineering remap, or Apexi remap - both around £750, but your turbo will limit yourself. A 2nd hand FE TD05 is a VFM upgrade.

Basically sort out the breathing, use a dawes until you've saved £1k for the bigger turbo and remap

That's one way anyway

Ooops, nobody had replied when I wrote this!
