Smile Power upgrades

Well, it's a different one anyway. I've got a Import Forester with a standard 240bhp, Bilsteins, sti int, 17 inch speedlines and various other non peformance bits, oh as well as a full TSL decat system.
Its going in to TSL tomorrow for a full service and various little bits but as its a 97 car cant have an ecu re programme.
I am looking to get 300 bhp or more can I simply get an sti ecu and sundries or what is the best route.
The cars a proper stealth car at the mo and shocks a fair few faster motors and want to have more fun.
Please help!

Cheers

Speak to Pat he might be able to sort a map for you Or Andy Forrest you MIGHT be able to put the Apexi Power FC in though not too sure.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

pat can map it.. 300bhp may be pushing it on the current turbo.

hello 4ester
your car is MY97 so it cant be reflashed by ecutek so you r options are Power Engineerings power pack for MY97 or an ECU swap such as LINK or Apexi power fc
Thats what I'm having fitted to my MY97 JDM Forester
BTW check out www.subaruforester.com
