I would hazard a guess the boost pressure is indeed increased as a new fuel pump is part of the upgrade, more boost more fuel! I wouldn't of thought you would get a 40hp increase from a new cat and backbox
my insurance went from 1,200 to 1,600 as well, I'm 34, 6 points, garaged.

I have an MY03 STi and I thought that it already ran at 1.2bar so I don't think they run it higher or fuel cut will occur.

I believed that part of the upgrade was the ECU mapping which would control such things and obviously up any limits as required. Hence the big problem with the PPP its not done for any given car its a generic map that works adequately on all STi's

Butty,
a standard 03/04 WRX boosts at a sustained 0.95 bar which i think is 14PSI or thereabouts. However with the wonders of delta dash i found that mine peaked at 1.07 bar under hard acceleration before stabilising at 0.98. So it looks like there is about a 0.2-0.25 bar increase over standard, so its fairly significant!
