Default STI Hatch help

I've now owned my 2008 uk hatch 2 months and I have kept my spending down to just some RE002's a full service with all fluids changed and to check it has the ECU update (it does). I want to change it now I previously owned an Evo 7 RS at 380/380 which had a little more go than my Stock Scooby. I now want that similar amount of horsepowers; well at least in between 350 and 380 hp and from what I've read on here a few more torques. What can I do to help me achieve this? Who can I speak with to do this work? what parts will I need? I understand there is probably a section with this info probably mapped out but when I trawled through it I could find loads of stuff on sti versions 1-9 and nothing on 10 and beyond. all opinions welcome.

Hi,

You can get to 350bhp with a ProDrive second decat, induction kit and remap. Anymore and you will need to start looking at forging the engine, FMIC, bigger turbo etc....

I took my standard 2.5 to 370-380 without any problems , but then went to a forged build so I could go higher But I may just be one of the lucky ones

My advice would be hope for the best but plan for the worst , the 2.5 is a great engine when properly built but until forged it can go at any time really

I got 371/411, forged drop ins on a new short block, H&S 2.5" decat (very loud until I fitted a centre resonator), Mishimoto induction kit and uprated fuel pump (not really neccessary). All fitted by Subaru 4 You in Newbury, so not miles from you in Slough. Mapped by Bob Rawle

how do they have such poor reputation when you can whip out torque figures like that? I feel like I haven't made a mistake just by asking for help in one thread cheers fellas 428lbft sheesh

What I've been reading through the posts on here and I've read about a Harvey Trick up pipe and I think it may be a little over kill for what I'm after and sadly I read that the Gentleman that designed it has passed away at what stage do you require one and what does that stage feel like. Again that's all too much for me

maybe worth giving them a ring to ask and tailor a package to suit you. they are only examples of what can be done.
