On a 94 WRX with the slanted intercooler you are already experiencing high air charge temperatures by 260 bhp and from a particular STi we did that was already over 280 bhp I know that there is power to pick up, typically 20 bhp over the slanted intercooler but you should not fit an FMIC unless you can remap the car.
My opinion is that a dump valve will do absolutely nothing for your performance, unless of course there is an existing problem with the O/E item that already performs well. It sounds like you found out that the Bailey DV would reduce performance anyway which is very often the case with aftermarket dump valves.
Save your money on the DV and put it towards a Simtek or secondhand Apexi Power F.C. You will not regret it and never look back from there.
