Stick it on a rolling road to see what power its running first.

Standard power is 220ps on these, they also need to be run on super unleaded or it can and will cause engine damage due to det.
As said, if its not producing the power it should then a rolling road diagnostic is whats needed.

You got a boost gauge on there? If yes then what's the max boost you're getting?

What did you have before? The WRX isn't the quickest.....

Welcome!

Yep, rolling road is a good move to check what power it's making.

I thought the early import WRX's were 276bhp? was that just saloons or was the wagon lower bhp?

Not the early wagons,I think later the v3/4 were 240 or 250 ps

seen loads of people running cars with missing restrictor pills claiming its 300 brake bruv innit. 1st thing to do would be to get someone to check it over and advise on potential upgrades/remap to improve power. ESL is available for a 1994 at around £550 supplied and mapped which usually sees a vast improvement in power delivery and torque etc.
