How to get 300 BHP from my 2004 WRX ....
Afternoon folks,
I'm after some advice. I am trying to get 300 BHP from my 2004 WRX. I am currently around 285 BHP and was wondering what other parts I need. I know that my turbo needs replacing but what would you recommend , considering I am trying to do this to a budget ? Okay here's my current setup:
Green panel filter.
Sports-cat downpipe.
De-cat upipe.
De-cat front / centre section.
Vortex afterburner backbox.
Uprated fuel pump.
NGK plugs.
STI TMIC
Remap by Andrew C
Will I see 300 BHP on my standard injectors or do I need the STI pinks ?
Do I need a 3 port boost solenoid and are these plug and play ?
As mentioned, what's the best turbo to go for ? A VF ??
Really appreciate any advice and comments
Cheers, Wilky.

A VF35 is probably the cheapest option for you
3 Port, again for the money its not worth not doing.
Whats the Decat Uppipe?

I thought my WRX had a CAT in the turbo up-pipe. Andrew recommended changing it for a STI part prior to him mapping it .. I'm pretty new to modding my Subaru so does that make any sense ?
Cheers for the advice mate,
Wilky.

Aye, the blobeyes had a cat in the uppipe, it was worth having it removed. If you're having the turbo out anyway it would be worth talking to harvey on here about his ported headers and upipe, will give you better spool characteristics than the standard units

HI Wilky_Boy.
My mate has just come back from a remap with bob rawle. must add TOP BLOKE..
his spec is nearly the same as your's just that i fitted a set of sti pink injectors, and swapped turbo for vf28, done parallel fuel mod and stainless manifold, and yes there is a cat in uppipe, remove it,
his made 343 bhp.
hope this helps cheers scoobymike

You'll get plenty advice on here mate, and as for the turbo you could consider plenty, but bang for buck I have to say either a genuine TD05 16G or a VF35, again I cant stress that you must keep away from ebay unless the seller is genuine.
As for other VF serires Turbo's, here is a list . But please ask on here if the turbo is suitable for you or not, large turbo's will be to laggy for your requirements.

PS, Pm this seller, as this will have a VF30 Turbo which would be ideal too, should be looking at £200 - £300 depending on condition and mileage. https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-par...plete-car.html
