more power please
got an early sti 1994
at then moment its been fitted with, a walbro, 440cc injectors, turbo back blitz exhasut, induction kit, ngk pfr7's, fmic and apexi power fc
its set at 1 bar high boost and it pulls great but as ever id like a bit more
it has an uprated clutch and bigger brakes to go on shortly.
obv the boost will need to creep up to get a bit more out it, then it risks going bang, but i want to replace the engine abox at some point in future anyway
dont get me wrong i dont want to destroy it overnight, but im sure the inevtable will happen
anything obv ive missed that could help?
or is it now just a boost controller and remap the only way?

no dawes device
just the apexi ecu
i was going to get the esl board but my previous ecu had a chip soldered in place where the esl board is mean to go - i think it was linked to the hks fcon unit that the car had
so i went for the apexi unit instead

cheers people
i know its a can of worms and my engine has no forged bits, basically a wrx engine, but what would be your next boost level?
1.2 bar?
the engine has been well looked after from what i can tell, but obv its knocking on 15 years old
