Default Bugeye JDM WRX Tuning Advice....

Hello, I'm after some advice, I have a 2000 bug completely standard other than boost gauge. I'm after some advice basically. I want to get some more BHP out of it, i'm thinking of getting the following:

1) Full exhaust system (de-cat) anyone suggest any?
2) Air filter? Panel or induction kit?
3) Upgraded fuel pump?
4) STI TMIC
5) Remap (any recommendations i'm located in Preston North West)

What would the estimate BHP go to from that i want about 300ish?


Further down the line maybe some pink injectors and a VF35 or TD05 Turbo.

Thanks

Kev

for the remap i recommend prosport www.prosport.ltd.uk i always take my car there as they are a authorised subaru service centreand give great customer service. For the exhaust i have a blue flame system on mine i saw a gain of around 50bhp after removing the up pipe cat too. http://www.blueflameperformance.com/

i would fit the parts you already said plus a a decat up-pipe and also go for the pinks and the bigger turbo aswell, you are lucky were you live as there is andrew carr who practically lives on your doorstep, and he will map the car for you.

i have a 2000 model wrx as kevaldo it already has a de cat down pipe stainless steel centre and rear so no centre and no down pipe cat,
it pulls but i have hardly any torque is this because of the decat and lack of back pressure steve

Stevie has it had a re-map? I want 300BHP ideally, then after i've got bored of that i'll upgrade the turbo and injectors. Also for a remap there Teg Motorsport who do all the rally cars. I love my WRX i'm trying to make it look how i want outside then go the engine as its booked in for a re-spray in a few weeks.

Its running 1bar according to the Boost gauge , it pins me in the seat, is yours a UK model? mines the jap one, the only was to find out i'm guessing is get it on a rolling road. I have always been told that you change anything on the car you need a re-map. My last pug 206 gti i had a performance exhaust on it and that changed all the fueling because it poped and banged like mad.
