I've just come back to scooby ownership after 3 years of bmws and I've got a 53 plate wrx and the question is how do I get more power it's standard at the mo. Help help help any advice please
thanks in advance

 

My first move would be to sort the downpipe, exhaust, headers, uprated panel filter and a remap. Should make a nice difference. It depends on your target and budget, good luck!

 

Do as above, then leave the power alone at around 270-290. Sort the chassis and suspension out then to make it a quick road car.

 

Sounds good to me what gains do I get from the headers and up pipe ?

 

you will get better air flow and in tandem with a new air filter will allow the mapper to be a bit more adventurous with his map and extracting a lot more power

 

My take on the matter would be,

Sti injectors
Sti TMIC
Uprated fuel pump Walbro/Dynapex
Green Panel Filter
Decat system
Harvey Smith Ported headers and up-pipe
Silicone intake hose for turbo
Td05 16G or Vf35 turbo
3 port boost solenoid

Friend of mine has the above list on a 16g and its 331bhp 316lbsft on a 05 wrx

Gather all the parts, fit it all map it once and be done

 

I can agree with 71/200 decide what you want, discuss it with a few mappers and compare their advise. I did a pro's and con's list when I tuned my bugeye and came up with a shopping list that way. Purchase all the parts required then fit them all together followed by a remap. Once this is done relax and enjoy your revamped car.
