Default What next for performance mods - Bug Eye WRX...

I bought my bug-eye WRX in January, work done previously was Magnex turbo up-pipe, 3 port boost solenoid, ECUtek remap, ninja exhaust.

When that was done in 2008 it is was rolling roaded at 267bhp.

So what next to get some more bhp? Its due a service so im going to do that first but wondered if there was anything i could do within, or at the same time as the service to help performance and then any suggestions for the future that could turn it into a proper monster

VF35 will take it to around 330 bhp..... you know it makes sense.

HTH

P.S. Injectors (pink) from an STI needed to !

Sell it and buy an STI before you start wasting thousands like the rest of us!
Im stuck with my 03 WRX. Spent too much on it. LOL.

view my garage and have a look at my bugeye, im running 275 bhp with my current set up, as above (dunx) if you want 300bhp+ then you will need a bigger turbo, injectors and TMIC plus another remap

ta for the replies.

im not the biggest modder in the world, except when i had my nova 10yrs ago

just seems a waste to have an impreza and not play with it a little bit.

turbo replacement sounds like a plan for the future

is it worth front mounting the intercooler and changing the injectors when ive got the standard turbo on it?

I should probably rolling road it first anyway, a lot has probably changed in 2 years!

Front mount is over kill, an STI TMIC will help make similar bhp figures at a reasonable cost, STI pinks and VF35 as stated will get you to around 330 bhp. You need to fit injectors just before the re-map as the std ecu won't have a clue what you've done.

Modern cars with sophisticated ecu's loose very little in my experience....
