know what you mean mate as i was a nissan 200 man....
best place to start is get the car on a good rolling road to see what it has got now.
as you might be suprised how much you have..
but at least you know how much more bhp you need to achive the 300 mark
as all scoobs dar diff.....
but would say sti t/mount,full de-cat,air filter and a good re-map.
and you should'nt be to far off

No need for sti top mount, a good turbo back catless exhaust, either uprated air filter or induction kit, uprated fuel pump, ngk 7's and a remap will see you knocking on the door of 300bhp.

it does bolt straight on but will have to have coverted to front entry as the td05 has a 90 degree bend on the front of the compresser housing, i had mine convertered at my local engineerers for £20!the 16g part is the size of the turbo(compresser i think) the 16 being the smallest as fastest spolling.i heard of people running 350 on a 16g,i would say that 350/350 is the very max for a standard wrx engine and box.thats why il be aiming for 330/330ish......hope this helps!
