Default What to do? Advice please :)

MY98 UK turbo newly rebuilt and fitted with -
Yellow ph1 440s
Walbro 255 fuel pump
VF28 turbo
Ported standard headers to harvey up pipe and decat to back box
V3 STI TMIC with silicon hoses
Forge recirc valve
Pipercross panel filter
NGK iridium plugs
Magnecor plug leads
Walbro 255 fuel pump

Any other mods worth doing?
Any knowledge on what it would make on an ESL remap as it is?
And would it be worth fitting a FMIC for better engine safety?

I'd say around 320 bhp/300 torque . Check out Andy forrest website,gives you an idea of what power to expect for your mods.

You never mentioned the all important brake and suspension upgrades,should be the 1st upgrade done before heading for more power.

There are bug eye calipers on it and just waiting for a nice deal on some coilovers 😊

Forget coilovers as yet.

Start with solid droplinks, whiteline uprated REAR arb, (leave front as standard), anti-lift kit, THEN think about coilovers.

And after yoiu get the above, or after coilovers, get a PROPER four-wheel alignment done from someone who knows what he/she is doing, not Back-Street Joe's tyres.

It will transform the car.

As to your engine mods, I ran circa 300 bhp on a 2 litre classic and destroyed the engine due to heat-soaking on a TMIC, so yes to an FMIC.
Don't forget it, too, needs a map tweak.
