Default What next?

Ive got a 99 sti and was wondering what would be the next best thing to get for more power. Aiming one day for about 400bhp but in stages

At the moment ive got a downpipe and exhaust, fmic, walbro fuel pump, and an apexi avcr.

Im getting a power fc but was wondering what after that?

Im thinking a tubular manifold and fuel pressure regulator.

Is the manifold the next most restrictive part?

Cheers

A bigger turbo and injectors will be needed for the power your looking at.

Do you still have the 2.5" exhaust system, if so that will need to be changed
for a 3".

Hope you've got deep pockets

lol yeah just short arms.

Would it be best to get a turbo before headers?

I know ill need them both in the end but didnt know what would make the biggest difference at the moment?

For sure the turbo would make the biggest difference.

Your best bet would be to have a chat with Andy Forrest, he's a wizard !!

I got some ported headers and up-pipe off Harvey and then a Power Fc off Andy F and got some advice from them saying that if I had the same mods as you've got, I've got everything same as you apart from the fmic but I've got a APS CAK and Fuel press reg, I have been advised that if I fitted a fmic TD05/06 turbo and injectors it should be pushing out around 450 don't qoute me on that though!! Have a word with Harvey the headers made a noticable difference even before the remap.

Hope this helps
