Depends what sort of power and how much you want to spend.
If you have warranty on your Scoob go for the Prodrive Performance Pack from Subaru. If no warranty then Powerstation and other reputable tuners do some good packages. Have you changed the exhaust at all ? Thats always a good start.

Yep out of warranty in June. Was looking to add a Prodrive pack, but heard that you would get more bhp/speed if it was chipped ??

The only change to the exhaust is it's had a STI tail pipe fitted

Remapping is the new chipping. I'd get a Ecutek 3 remap and a sports cat downpipe ( MOT friendly ) rest of the system straight through stainless. You should see about 270bhp from that lot for about £1500 and also it will be reliable.

Yes I have they are top people, know their stuff.
TSL In Nottingham are very good too. Just trying to rack my brains as to the
closest respectable tuner to you.

hello claire. i got my 04 WRX wagon up to 283bhp & 278lbft with a full decat including up pipe and down pipe, panel filter and ecutek remap @ powerstation. was worth the drive but if abit far (Tewksbury), try Prosport at Stockport or get the work done locally and then buy into a group buy on a remap-Bob Rawle,Andy F etc... i had my STi done by AndrewC and must say I am very pleased with the results hes at Preston. i,m not far from you just over the bridge.

cost roughly £1100 and that was with new and second hand exhaust parts, fitting(locally) and remap(£580). and was definately worth it , 225bhp-283bhp .

there is a garage in Runcorn who does work on these type of cars, cant remember the name though. Peter at Waxacar knows them I believe, they work on his STi. Give him a call or pm him as waxacar.
