Default More Power Needed

Was looking for some advice on increasing the power and torque in my car

My car is a PPP'd WRX (51) and running 265 at the mo.

Would it be a case of a simple remap or would there be more to it???

Also, with the PPP, would the ECU be open or closed license????

Lets have some of your ideas folks

Cheers

Dave

A little tweak won't get 300 as your turbo simply can't flow enough. Personally i would get a new turbo and injectors. You only have 380's IIRC

My Classic has 440's as std which i believe are good for mid to high 300's so i assume your 380's will do the trick upto 320ish (i'm only guessing here). If you are only looking to crack 300 then you might as well stick with what you've got. If your powere aspirations are higher i would go for 550's to leave yourself plenty of scope for future tuning

Think your ECU will be open as it gets a remap with the ppp kit.

But don't hold me to that.
