Default Very impressed

With this wrx v- limited I noticed its got a z4 ecu and running around 13-14 psi
But has a front mount, cone filter , dump valve , 3" de cat back and a toyosports wrapped manifold but can these imports cope with them because I don't think you can map it can you its running on 99 Ron fuel .

I had a uk turbo mapped to 260 bhp by zen performance a few years back but this seems so much quicker is it just because it's an import .

if not already fitted you can fit an esl board and have it mapped. it may already have it fitted but you would need to take the ecu cover off to have a look. 14 psi is 0.9 bar of boost which i think is roughly standard boost level or thereabouts. all those mods will mess with afr and fuelling if not mapped in.

Thanks I will look into it what bhp would it be 260 or 280 ? I thought it was boosting 1.3 bar but then realised the 1.0 then 2.0 , 3.0 said psi at the bottom of the gauge so thinking its psi as in 13-14 psi not 1.3-1.4 bar

OP's car has the wrong rear spoiler and bumper has been cut for front mount.
It should have a low level spoiler.

No it's got electric Windows not sure who put the spoiler on but I love it but will be looking over time for a new bumper and spoiler for standard look if ever need it . As far as I'm aware the wrx v- limited was just a wrx but in limited colours but with different interior and limited placks , it's as good underneath as it is on top . Can't believe how raw it is it just makes me smile from ear to ear when I drive it . Same Id as the standard 96 wrx ends in 48d .
