TBH mate what you've fitted is more of a safety margin. You will benefit from increased performance when hot or on prolonged hard runs..
Out of interest, did you also fit the STI scoop and under tray..? These are a must..!
At the end of the day peak figures mean nothing..

yes, fitted sti scoop & undertray too,
it does feel faster, & i am happy with it, & i will benefit from increased performance when hot or on prolonged hard runs
but i did think i would have been more.
but your right peak figures mean nothing.

I thinks its near the mark, some get more, some dont. My STi made 335hp on a slightly better spec, I wouldn't worry.
What was the torque output?
Your STi I/C should have made better torque allowing a bit more ignition mid range before det. Injectors, as said are a safe margin, 440's should be good for 310 anyway so fitting 500's is just preparing for future mods

thats about right for a vf34 on a wrx.it will make slightly less than it would on an sti.i think its because the wrx hasn't got variable valve timing,i may be wrong.a friend has just had his wrx mapped with my old vf35 and sti pinks and hit around 320bhp,where as it was running 340bhp on my wr1

What difference was there in torque figures ?
i made a few changes to my own car, went for remap, did'nt gain hardly any bhp, but alot of torque was to be had.
its not all about bhp figures, its torque that gets you from A to B quicker.

People keep forgetting that its claimed by Subaru that 80% of the newage STi engine is uprated over the newage WRX, not just injectors, turbo and intercooler, thats got to count for something.
That hp figure ain't bad but as i said earlier, torque would be interesting to know.

Subaru say a lot of things most of IT is BS ...

tbh the mods you've added wont make much difference on there own, unless the old injectors were maxed out, if they wern't then it won't make much differance at all

If it's mapped to 1.2bar the it's no wonder it's 'only' making 309bhp..!
Should be able to take 1.4bar no problem. Mine peaks at 1.55bar (slight over-read from defi's apparently.. ) and holds 1.3 at over 6k..!
Madass had exactly the same issue (identical mods TBH) when his 03 WRX was mapped to 1.2bar, too conservative and he wasn't impressed. Hence him getting Bob R to remap it 12 mths later. It now produces 340+ at 1.4bar and more importantly feels much better..
Was there any reason they limited it to 1.2bar..? Which mapper did SC use..?

Car will feel quicker because rather than the turbo kicking in early in the rev range it will spool up a bit later, so you get a nice little kick, perhaps round 3/3.5 revs when the torque kicks in.
There must be a reason why its mapped to a low boost setting. Iv got a VF35 which happlily pulls along to 1.5 bar but injectors are the restriction. Not a massive difference between the two turbos apart from the VF34 is better for top end. Get it mapped for 1.3/1.4 bar and you `ll probably see a difference.

I think I may have clouded the issue by mentioning 1.2 bar.
Both the graphs show a peak of 1.4 bar, tappering down to about 1.1 bar.
If the VF34 was pushing a decent full air flow on the std WRX injectors then I'd have thought the AFRs would be much much leaner than they were.
Spider - is there any way you can get your car data logged to look at air flow and boost solenoid & fuel injector duties?
