hi i have a my99 uk turbo what sort of power should i get with mods
1 05wrx intercooler with 05 air splitter and samco hose
2 revolutions full 3" system with decat
3 apexi panel filter
4 apexi avcr boost controller
5 standard 440cc injectors
6 apexi power fc ecu fitted soon with map

i do understand that the td04 turbo will put limits on this but money is running out at the mo so new turbo later in year
so how much bhp am i looking at cheers

Bout 270 bhp and similar torque, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.

I`d say around the 280 mark aswell, but that`s not the whole story, it will feel a much better mid range too you`ll feel a nice difference...

280 would be nice i could chase sti

Dont worry about having a TD04 will make for a lovely torquey quick road car and 270 ish will be ample. soon as you get biiger turbos you will begin to put a bit too much strain on the gearbox although these are ok up to about 340 ish

Why waste your money on an apexi when your ecu is mappable

later plans! the ecutek is very good but remap after remap can get a bit dear where as the apexi just needs a little tweek in the map ie after new turbo is fitted or any other mod cheers

You change anything and the apexi will need re-mapping also (no minor tweaks will do ), its a no win situation (plus have they not now stopped selling apexi's?)
The ECUTEK is a better option for your year of car

i do understand what you are saying but the fower fc is cheaper 2 remap than the ecutek . plus if i sell the car i can return back to standard with all my standard parts at no cost just my time . scott

you still retain knock control though with the ecutek

I can see your point about if you sold the car, but why is it cheaper to remap FC than Ecutek?

Once you have paid for the initial licence, then to remap Ecutek only costs rolling road time at most places?

Oh, and with this spec I achieved 273/273 on my MY00 UK Turbo btw:

JR Panel Filter
Ninja Sports Cat
Magnex centre resonated decat
Magnex oval backbox
3 port boost solenoid
Ecutek Tek3 remap.

And the drive home from Powerstation was much more enjoyable than the drive there

It seems a very personal thing as to which you feel is better as can be seen from the replies personal opinion and advantages for both..

I hope we will get 280/280 out of it Scott.. feel free to change your mind and go for ecutek.. I can do either.. although currently still waiting on the plane from Japan with the powerfc's on!!!!
