What bhp?
I currently own a newage jdm WRX,2002,
I have a rough idea of bhp due to posts on here.
I was just wondering what BHP i would expect to gain from a:
TD05 18G turbo
front mount 'cooler
walbro fuel pump (do i need one due to it been a jdm?)
3" de-cat system, (plus up pipe)
up graded fuel injectors (not sure wich ones 440? 550? as again are they needed?)
plus a remap.
Cheers

I know a couple of Bugeye WRX's running TD05 18G's with a front mount and STi Pink injectors plus a few other mods 
Standard 5 speed boxes but uprtated clutches
Both mapped by Bob Rawle, one with Methanol injection running near on the 400 BHP limit for a maxed out 18G
Midlife

Yeah, have heard 380bhp is common with TD05 18Gs.
Limit of the WRX gearbox is often seen as being around 350bhp/ft/lbs.
However, it really depends how much you track & launch it.
Might be fine, although there is a risk involved - just be aware of it.
