Cheapest ways to get a few more bhp
Hey chaps.
I have a 1995 turbo import wagon with a lazyboy automatic gear box. It's all completly standard, only covered 63k and I'm looking to enter the big bad world of engine mods. What is the easiest way of gaining a few bhp, and also an exhaust system that sounds nice, and not like the car wants to eat you alive!!??!
Cheers, O

custom made 3" full decat and induction kit (although hi flow panel filter will give you good results) on my turbo 2000 went from 218bhp upto 250bhp, cost me £500ish. Then another £500 for ecutec remap, now running 275bhp with 390Nm torque.

I've had no probs (touch wood) with my remap. Really depends on how looked after your car was/is. Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule! Some can take it others cant!

remaps are reliable, just makesure you use a recomended mapper to do it. they will set up you car to its safest potencial. then after that its upto you to look after your car...drive it like a loon all the time and it will more than likely go bang,
there tends to be certain mappers that are used by many on here ie jollygreenmonster,bob rawle,andy forrest etc all very good at there work

There're quite a few on the first page of the aboive link - 3 more pages as well.
That company does like its prices though. £275 for a used back box!
That's a top-end price for most NEW back boxes!!!

just a quick question, got a 2004 wrx with prodrive bits, still has 2 or 3 cats through exhaust. thinking of getting straight through pipe from powerflow either to prodrive back box or a new one. and sticking a viper induction kit on running through the fog light cover.
anyone think prodrive back box or different and how much bhp would be added with full de cat and viper. cheers
