Default What is the 'true' BHP of a 2005 WRX?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows the true bhp of a blob eye wrx? There seems to be a few different variations in output according to different websites and insurers. Mines has a stainless steel cat back exhaust and an afterburner air filter and runs only on Shell Optimax fuel. Any ideas???

Blobs are 225ps or 223bhp, PPP makes that 265ps or 262bhp.

Dunno, each car acts differently, you may have gained 10bhp or if the car hasnt been serviced you may have lost 10bhp, the only real way to tell is by putting the car on a rolling road.

There should be a rolling road up your end somewhere see if any of the local clubs have one booked and pop along

Around £50 should see you with several runs on RR for a definitive answer.
