Mate has 06STi with full decat and big exhaust. Remapped to 340 bhp/380 ft-lb. Very lively. He has been advised that this is the limit on standard block and internals. The earlier 2.0L new age STis have stronger internals and are reckoned to be safe to 400 bhp without internal upgrade (rods and pistons).

The standard pistons are crap. Mine went on my 2.5 sti. If you have any plans to track it and/or modify it, I would recommend forged internals. If you have any plans to track it and/or modify it beware that Subaru UK wont pay anything towards the rebuild when it does go if they know anything about any of the above. I should know!
