Default max power on sti top mont?/tuning advice

Hi all,

I have a blob eye sti wide track ,

looking at fitting these parts (list below), should this set up make 450 bhp on my car?
and have i missed anything ,

also the only thing I can think will hold it back is TMIC , but i want to keep the car looking standard . so want to keep the sti top mount , is around 450bhp still acheviable on the sti top mount?








md321t turbo
gt spec headers and special up pipe
800cc injectors
3" exhaust/decathrc fuel pump
mac 3 port boost solenoin

Not at all mate. Harvey up pipe really helps, as does the mapping. Mine made 1 Bar @ 3100Rpm from what I remember

I recently posted a thread on a similar vein. https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...able-tmic.html

Still haven't decided what to do as like you, I'd prefer to keep a top mount, although prepared to go to something like the Hyperflow TMIC.

My car ran 425bhp or 415bhp ( can't remember) on pretty much the same spec you listed.

I then went for it on fmic as the MD321T deserved better.

What's the car used for bud?

Meth would have to be used to get 440+ on a TMIC, either in the fuel or water/ meth injection.
Certainly know of 443hp, Blobeye STI, Hyperflow top mount, SC46, Syvecs, 20% meth in fuel.

cars used for fast/road and the odd track day (not seriouse track use, and would keep a eye on charge temps)

I will FMIC it if i have , but want to avoid it if possible

cheers

Would like to know what mods were done to the scoop undertray/splitter to feed the larger IC with air across it's full area.
