These just run out of puff at anything over 5000 rpm. Get a bigger turbo - the VF43 from the STi 2.5 is a good upgrade and will see a lot more top end out of it.
I would have thought 280 would be about right but get it on the rollers to find out - forum speculation is worth nothing.

Sounds about right, you can get great torque figures without too much work on the 2.5. Bhp similar to a 2.0 with the same modifications.
Maybe would have expected a few more bhp but this varies between cars. Who mapped it?

Normally the OP never goes on a dyno, and they get upset when their long list of modifications gets assigned a low bhp from the forum posts but then someone posts up 426bhp and they go away happy that they have a figure to chat down the pub with.
UK300 - I thought they did a tesco 5% bioethanol over there which is the same as our 99
