Default Want a bit more power!

My 1994 WRX is producing 245 bhp with a straight through decat downpipe, Fujitsubo exhaust, Green Filter and Bailey DV.

Is this a good power output considering the modifications?

Also, I'd like a bit more (Wouldn't we all), though I haven't got that much cash spare these days to modify my wrx so it's difficult but any cheap mods that I could do to unleash a few more ponies? I was tempted with the 'Removing the resonator and replacing with air feed to front of the bumper' but search results tell me this gives noise but loses power, so nah to that!

Any other ideas, maybe things you've done to your wrx on the cheap!

Saving for a REMAP or the new year as I know this could add about 40bhp.

THANKS

As above, get a scoobyecu.. have a look on ebay.

They are easy to fit, may need to solder a socket into the ecu board.

Nick, I had one of these ECUs fitted, you won't regret it ... And at £50 you can't go wrong! And yes, either of these ones for sale are a replacemnt OEM 92-96 with the board and chip already soldered in. So you just substitute your existing ECU in the passenger footwell with it
