Is the standard bhp rating at the wheels or flywheel?

Does that mean that my classic my99 uk turbo is 218bhp at the fly wheel as standard?
its now got sti injectors, vf28 turbo, full de-cat and a kn57i now. Had it on the roller and it got 299.9bhp at the flywheel. so not a bad increase then?

Yes, and that sounds about right for a VF28 conversion with supporting mods.
Don't get too caught up with bhp figures derived from RRs though; it's minefield!
What matters is how the car performs on the road.

I always thought the car went well, just thought that was a good result even though rr figures aren't always 100%.
Also it was supposed to get an ecutek remap but the mapper couldn't talk to the ecu so he thinks its got an older ecu. Dont know if it came out the factory like that or if a previous owner had changed it?
Anyway the mapper checked every thing over and said it was running fine(afr , timing etc) apart from the boost. Doesnt reach full boost till 7000rpm. He suggested getting a manual boost controller and he would set it up on the rr.

Are you sure you have an MY99/00? ]
I have one of the best digital boost controllers and displays for sale at the mo: an Apexi AVC-R, but I would NOT suggest you get that (or any others boost controller) on a car where the fueling and ignition parameters cannot be set up properly to reflect any boost increase within the ECU!

Something doesn't sound right there mate: if it's an MY99 car it WILL have an mappable ECU via Ecutek. I'd be very surprised if you were putting out a genuine 299 at the fly on those mods without a remap!

As Ns04 said, IF a MY99/00, you should have an OBDII port under the steering wheel fascia. This is a portal to the ECU and can be reflashed with EcuTek software i.e. a remap.
What's the 7-digit 'Model code' read on the VIN plate?

That's a 22% drivetrain loss, which is bang on what one would expect.

Cool. the 2nd G means you've got a MY00 the last of the Classic MYs - a year younger than what you posted! 
(Sep 99 to Aug 00).
So you defo have the OBDII socket on the lower fascia underneath the steering wheel - go and check...

Sorry should have said. The mapper plugged into the socket but could only get diagnostic, but could not write to ecu and his thinkin was it might have an older ecu. Due to time(on my part) there wasnt time to check etc. But he did say all the readings look good and the engine was running well and strong(apart from the boost problem). where do i go from here??

yes he was usin the rite tools etc etc, i went with a mate who builds scooby's , evo's skylines's and always uses this guy, which is y i went.It just wouldn't write/work or wotever its ment to do(sorry i dont really know about the technical side so i dont know how its ment to work).

John, I sincerely suggest you speak to a licensed ECUTEK mapper. Something doesn't sound right about this at all.

I think that when i get a chance tomorro i'll get to the ecu and have a good look, and take a pic. thats probably the best place to start

John,
if it is one of the licensed ECUTEK dealers up in Scotland then fair play, it could be a flash programming voltage problem, the SelectMonitor data connection seems to be working if the laptop can read fault codes. If not, then it won't be possible to reprogram the ECU. The reason for the skepticism is that there are only two ECUTEK dealers in Scotland who have the necessary tools.... Andy Forrest and Wallace Performance.
Cheers,
Pat.

If it's AE801 then it is mappable AE802 was the last ROM revision of the classic UK Impreza, and with it being a late classic I thought it would be on one, but perhaps it is not quite THAT late, or someone replaced an AE802 with an AE801 previously, the AE801 ROM's boost control was a little different, and some people preferred that At any rate if Russel can't program it then it sounds like a problem with the programming voltage or a wiring issue on the car.
