Default What bhp can a bug wrx tmic handle

As above really, looking for 330-340bhp can this be done on the standard newage tmic.

Depends on the year of WRX top mount I believe. Think the later hawk ones flowed well but I was always advised if going above 300bhp to go for STI top mount.

Mines running 352 with a bug WRX intercooler. Upgrading will never be a bad idea to get temps even lower, not that I am having problems with mine.

Although I did replace the y-pipe with a larger silicone one.

I've added some pics to my for sale thread bud, so as not to hijack The OP's thread any further

ooh, this is interesting. I hope you've got the time to share

I've got a 2002 wrx bug with 48k on the clock, its been very well looked after with regular services.

The bits I've I've got ready to go on at the min, an collecting to buy are as follows

Fmic
Full 3" decatted zorst (heat wrapped down pipe)
Ported an inner polished heat wrapped up pipe
Ported oem headers
TD05 front entry Turbo
550cc pink injectors
Walbro fuel pump

Think I'll be running at 1.4bar ish. But not a clue what it's going to make.
What have you done to get those figures?
