Default Power Questions

Hi there, I was after a bit of advice, I'm going to be installing a Harvey Smith tricked up pipe, a de cat down pipe, a panel filter(i still haven't made my mind up on which one yet), the car has a 3.5 inch custom made back box on already and then I'll be getting it remapped. The 3 questions I have are
1. Is this the right route to go for a basic tune?
2. What sort of power/torque will I be looking at after all the work is done
3. Any other recommendations?

The car is a 05 blob eye and I use it as my everyday car so if you can think of anything else I will benefit from, please let me know. Thanks in advance,Ben

Blob wrx or sti? Good place to start with the mods, but don't forget the brakes and handling unless you already have that sorted.

Its a wrx. I've also got a sti back box that came with it as well. Handling side of things, I'm gonna get the sti brakes and I'm still undecided on suspension. I may just get some strut braces to start with.

Personally I would want to make more changes before I get a map as you're not going to get much more than 260ish I would imagine.

The turbo, fueling, cooling will all need to be upgraded to make closer to the 300 mark.

Good service and health check too since you're going to be trying for more power.
