i dont know the answer to that one bud ide put another post up if i where you

but if your on a hunt for more power then i would recomend fitting a decat pipe
magnex do one for £180

i found that to be one of the best mods ive done to my car
and ive got
uprated fuel pump
apexi ecu with a boost kit
decat
air filter
and a front mounted intercooler

Fit an Apexi FC mapped by someone good.
The TMIC from the Sti v8 is NOT a bolt on/in job i assure you, but it looks stock and is Insurance friendly too.
There are lots of things to do first, but the intercooler thing will get you soon!

FMIC look cool and have their own issues.

Good luck, Graham.
