Default How to get more 350 BHP out of the ECUtek remap

I am thinking to get my newage STi book in with simon @ Jolly Green Monster. but...

I am currently done most of the bolt on mods like turbo back exhaust, HKS panel filter, Uprated fuel pump. I understand that with the current mod I am looking at a range of 320-330ish.

is there anything else I can do to just get it up to 350ish without anything too complicated? any advice would be appreciated

No. the turbo would normally max out at around the 330 mark. There are some exceptions that make nearer 350, but its unlikley. So a bigger turbo is the answer

Change the headers, turbo, injectors (or fuel pressure reg), get an electronic boost control like an AVCR.

Make sure your running "7"spark plugs if your not already.

Headers and a boost controller will help push it over the 350 bhp mark....

imho

My VF35 (which will be the same as yours) is running at 350, but that it. I've got an MD321T sat here ready to go on....along with some other treats.
