More likely to be around 218 bhp
With ppp 245
With decat system 265
And with ecutek 285


Unlikely you have a 280 bhp one there unless it is the STi model though that will show on the dash.....(plus loads more around the engine bay)

The Jap spec new age WRX is different to the UK model in that it has variable valve timing. The cars are quoted as being 246bhp as opposed to the 218bhp of the UK car.

If it was quoted as 280bhp, you have been mis-sold.

 

thanks for replys iv been given thred and now think its 247bhp
thanks p
