increasing fuel?
my94 wrx is runnig just a bar now and i really want to just run about1.1 but lots of people have told me to keep the fuel up how? cos i know there are lots of ways wat are the best!?
It's important to ensure you have enough fuel to prevent the engine running lean. This can be a problem even with a non-modified wrx (import) when they are a bit older - especially in the summer.
Most people uprate the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. This is probably a good move if you intend on future mods anyway.
The knocklink is also a good idea to ensure you aren't getting any detonation. Although there are a number of monitoring gadgets available as an alternative - such as the PSI3 etc.
You haven't mentioned if you have any other mods. If you have then what have you done?

Sounds a good BHP figure. It took me a fair bit to reach that with my 94 wrx 
A fuel pressure regulator balances the fuel pressure in the fuel system/injector rails. An uprated/adjustable one will ensure enough fuel and pressure for the injectors, coupled with a good quality/flowing (walbro?) fuel pump.
I think they are available from the scoobynet shop, and the pump can be had for around £120-130, and I can't remember how much the fuel pressure regulators are (somebody?)
You can alternatively do a search on SN for walbro and fse (for pumps) and another search for fpr to read through the posts on what these actually do in detail

A fuel pressure regulator about £60 then £16 for the gauge.
A 94 wrx in standerd form is 250 bhp! they didn't get 280bhp till 1997 i think! With the haywood and scott down pipe and straight through system and a good air filter probably looking at 260-265 bhp at a guess. mine is running 1.1 bar at the min and the same set up as yours but i have the scooby ecu thats doing 280bhp two weeks fuel pump,fuel pressure regulator and gauge and new clutch then the boost can go to 1.25 bar that should be 300bhp, but i might need a fuel cut defender! we'll se
