MY04 WRX power increase.
Thinking of mods to do to my car to up the power a bit and was just wondering what mods I should go for and was thinking of doing a full decat and turning the boost up with a Dawes Device, would anyone recommend doing this, and I dont want to get a bigger turbo as I like the low down boost the little TD04 gives, and I dont think a ecutek remap would benefit on just a decat.

an ecutek remap WILL improve things considerably. By the time you've invested in a bosst gauge, EGT sensor, lambda and knock-link you may as well have paid for the remap.
the dawes gets reasonable results from earlier cars, but its a relatively crude, and short term, way of obtaining power, and new age cars don't respond that well.

the classic shape ones seem to respond a little more favourably to decatting on stock ecus than the newer ones.....a mate decatted a bugeye and it just felt gutless anyway, im not saying it would damage the engine, but i dont think it will help it necessarily either.
