Power Gains
I have a totally standard WRX sti type r v4, what sort of power gains can I get without having the car remapped and are they safe.
I know it will not be much at all just want some sort of idea of gains and what mods people suggest
Looking at a back box, blitz nur spec s, Genome or Afterburner Raptor maybe some sort of induction kit.
Like I said not to keen on remapping the car as I have had it from new with 0 problems in its standard form or should I just leave it as it is?
Any ideas would be welcome

Would a back box be totally safe as I would like a little more noise? of course I would store the original 1 nice and safe so I could restore the car back to original.
I know after 17/18 years of owning the car it seems a little silly to do the mods now

An argument could be made for changing even something as minor as a backbox could require a remap. However,
I changed just the backbox on my V6 type R with no problems, just sounded a little deeper. If that's what your after you shouldn't encounter any problems.

Not sure how i have ignored the advice as the car is still in standard form, just fancied some more power and getting a better picture, could of mapped the car years ago but never did due to bad mapping engines blowing etc etc and so much bull **** in the scene.
Might just put it back in the garage with the other cars
And think Banny was suggesting the standard sti ECU was a bit iffy so thats why I mentioned the Alcatek

Thats what I thought matty, just wanted to throw it out there thouhgt I might gain 5/10 bhp from a slight tweek but it was the noise I wanted mostly, was thinking of putting the blitz on it when I 1st imported it in 1998 but never got around to it, was hidden away in my garage for 6 years until last year and decided it was time I brought it back to life, forgot how much I enjoyed the drive.
Standard exhaust sounds so weak,lol
