Classic remap list
Just recently bought my first Impreza. 2000 model UK turbo with full stainless exhaust.
I've done a few searches and read up and as far as I can make out, I need;
Panel filter
Walbro fuel pump
NGK7 plugs
Bigger turbo
Remap
for around 300bhp?
I fancy one of the VF series turbos, perhaps the 28 or 30 as I believe they are the best 'bang for buck' as someone put it?
My car is going in for a full service, timing belt and clutch later in the week so I'm going to get it booked in for a remap soon after I get all my parts together.
If theres anything I've missed out, please add to my list.
Thanks

Will a fuel pressure regulator and make a difference?
And what is a resonator delete? Is it the airbox in the wing?

Not if 300bhp or so is your target. Walbro pump with the standard reg should be fine. Speaking of which, if that's where you're at you'd probably be better with one of Mr Farmer's(*) hybridised TD04's than the turbos you're thinking of. More robust, better spool and throttle response, and the comfort of a freshly built, warranted unit rather than something 10-12 years old and with unknown provenance.
Yes. IMHO I wouldn't be too bothered about this at least until you've settled on a mapper and have an idea of what they prefer to work with. Difference is subtle at best and can make the airflow readings fluctuate a bit, which can be counterproductive when it comes to mapping.

Lol yep Its quite pricely the REMAP stage, I Decided to go APEXI POWER FC for my ECU and its the best money i have spent tbh makes so much diffence being mapped.
Tbh i have seen so many Scoobs just bolt a Air filter on and no remap so you wouldnt be the only one
View my car for spec

That figure quoted is the initial price for the first map plus the EcuTeK licence, which is a one-off charge. Any subsequent tweaks should just be the mapper's time so much cheaper.
Assuming your car is standard at the moment, no, there's plenty of stuff you can do for subtle gains. You wouldn't need to remap if, for example, changing the standard panel filter for a better one.
However, changing from a panel filter to an induction kit probably would due to changes in the airflow sensor scaling. Similarlyr swapping the standard turbo, injectors etc etc, would need you getting the ECU calibrated properly afterwards.
So do you need to re-map after any mod? Like air filter?

The downside though is that there's less headroom if something, for example the airflow sensor, starts to misread.
As Bigsinky says, you'd probably be better off using something like a manual boost controller on a completely standard UK car.
