MY00 - decatted, K&N panel, ECUTEK map @ 240BHP - seems low?
I have a MY00 Impreza running:
Decat exhaust
K&N Panel
ECUTEK map
16PSI max in 5th (ish)
Always Optimax.
When I first had the car mapped the power figures came to 270/270. I have fitted an HKS DV after which I understand shouldn't make much difference. I have also replaced MAF & Lamda and fitted new NGK PF7 plugs.
On Sat at another RR the car made a somewhat surprisingly low 240/222.
Now 240BHP with those mods seems well low but I've not noticed a drop in performance and the car behaves fine. I've always felt 270 was quite high as I used to own a GTIR with 270 and theres quite a difference between the two.
Can I get the ECUTEK mapped again by someone else and have the car checked over just to make sure things are all OK?
Bit put out by it TBH. I'd like to work towards a "safe" 300BHP no more no less so looks like I've got some work to do.

is it a TEK2 or TEK3 custom map?
That will make a difference. Like you said it is worrying that you have seemingly lost 30 BHP but that could be down to the different rolling road and hot weather etc.
Certain rolling roads are reputed to be a little optimistic!
