30bhp+ from a downpipe is wishful thinking imo, however I am sure some resellers will disagree. Boost wise, I am not sure to be honest but if a v5 sti is less than 1 bar, then you will be safe at 1 bar

standard boost on my stock version 3 is around 1 bar. Just have it tune once you got all your bolt just by using piggyback or have it remap.
