Agreed with all the above ^^ at this stage you do not need a FMIC.
Im not sure on the classics, but I hear that 320-340bhp can be had out of the std classic TMIC. Then you could always convert to a newage STI TMIC which are good for 400bhp.
If your chasing for medium/heavy power then start with the right car to begin with, I believe the 2000 UK Turbo is the wrong core car.

As the others have said, a front mount intercooler is utterly pointless at this level of tune, you're better off with the standard one, or something like a newage WRX top mount. Also, when you say you have an "HKS air filter" is this a replacement panel or a cone filter/induction kit of some sort?
The apparently conflicting answers you've already got re. expected post-remap power figures illustrate one thing: that your mileage may vary according to the general health of your engine and the amount of safety margin whichever mapper you employ chooses to use. However a figure of 270bhp is certainly not unrealistic. You may even get a bit more if you're lucky.

The normal starting point on these cars is a full decat exhaust system followed by ported headers with matched uppipe. Take care because not any exhaust system will do. Go for one with proven performance which is probably not one of the noisiest ones out there. Assuming your car is 99/00 then it can be Ecutek remapped and with the above mods and a remap you will already see a big power uplift.
No need to worry about the intercooler until you get to the 300 bhp mark plus.

The 270/260 numbers mentioned above are perfectly achievable on an open exhaust with bags of safety margin.
As above, if your mapper could "only" get 240-something out of a late classic Turbo 2000 engine/turbo with the usual basic mods, either he isn't very good, or there's something wrong/worn under the bonnet preventing it going further.

No. The late classic PPP setup produces over 240bhp (with similar torque) with the standard catalyst in place - and with Subaru warranty-pleasing safety margin. The only thing that unit doesn't really do is extend all the way up to the red line, IIRC the timing disappears quite quickly above 5000, and it also runs very, very rich.

I think its fair to say that the OP's thread has been answered
However I still stand with my earlier comment, the 'Core' car must be right to begin with for your 'bhp' chase. If the OP is expecting 270+ then I would seriously consider exchanging the car completly. A std Classic JDM will be already pushing the power output of what the OP might already require. I could be wrong but I think they offer more benifits to such as cheaper insurance?

Huh? cheaper insurance on a JDM grey import? Yes they are better speced and more powerful out of the box, but cheaper to insure? i thought the opposite was true, infact until recently a lot of insurers wouldn't even touch a import.

lot of things said here and have all been taken on board... i did forget to mention the blitz nur spec exhaust too woops. sorry
i will eventually want a bigger turbo but unsure of what one to get really.
so getting a fmic at this moment is just a waste of money, and may as well wait till i have a bigger turbo?? if so thats cool as will save to get a good one!! any suggestions?
Thanks for the help peeps!

td04 will be laggy with front mount, its the only turbo you wouldn;t want a front mount with.
could try and pick up a second hand vf35 for a few hundred, fuel pump, front mount and map and away you go to 330ish.

i think thats not so much an issue as it used to be, although i think its alot to do with if you know where to go.

Similarly while you're perfectly correct to state that the TD04L turbo is a limiting factor, if the mapper knows how to get the best out of one you can still end up with a surprisingly accelerative car.

neither have i as i am an old ******, but young 'uns here in Northern Ireland have a hard a time getting insured for imprezas (uk or imports). even when they do they are getting their pants pulled down in the prices they are be quoted.
