best way to get 330-350 bhp
i have a my99 rb5 wr sport only mods are magnex exhaust and fully de catted what mods will be best to get me to 330-350 bhp i would rather stick to a top mount intercooler if possable and can the prodrive ecu be remapped the same as the std my99 ecu.
will i need to change the exhaust for a bigger bore pipe as not sure if magnex is only 2.5" as was fitted to car when i bought it which turbo will best suit the above power also is there anywere recomended in the northeast for having the work carried out

-2.5" full decat should do do it
-Uprated panel filter. Std intercooler would be on its limits I'd imagine though; I'd be looking at a larger one from APS or similar
-You'll need a bigger fuel pump
-Probably larger injectors- 330-350bhp will be right on the edge of the std 440s
-Probably a uprated FPR
-Bigger Turbo e.g. TD05 16G
-Would suggest porting the headers to bring the spool thresold down as much as possible, you have a lower rpm limit than Stis.
-Probably a 3 port Boost solenoid
-uprated turbo hoses e.g. Samco
-Budget for a new gearbox, the UK one will most likely give up the ghost at those levels.
-Remap of the ECU via Ecutek.
I hope you've also budgeted for
-Uprated brakes
-Uprated suspension.
Reliable 280-300bhp relatively easy on a MY99. much over 300 things start getting pricey if you want to do it properly IMHO.
If you'd be happy with 300 ish (which would make for a very quick classic, it only weighs 1235kgs) Andy F does a TD04 hybrid that'll reach into the 300's you could use the std injectors and FPR with that IIRC, no need for the 3 port solenoid too and the gearbox should be ok. This would be rather cheaper than aiming for 350bhp.
Alternatively, buy a JDM Sti and tune from there, makes things much easier!!
Have a word with a few tuners though!

The concensus appears to be that if you go over 300bhp/lbs ft then you shouldn't be surprised if the gearbox fails! You play, you pay, I'm afraid!

300+ BHP
I have a UK MY00 (same spec as your '99) and without spending a huge ammount of cash and not pushing too near the limmits of the car, I have got 315bhp and 300lbsft (RR at Tegsport) by doing the following:- Full decat system using Revolution exhaust (not too noisy), Samco hoses, K&N panel filter, VF23 Turbo (standard on 22B), Ecutek remap by Andy Forrest (the master!) The car is now transformed and is more what I expected it to be!! It can easily keep up with all but the most heavily modified new-age STI's and I can finally shake off Civic Type R's and Mini Cooper S's! About to fit P1 suspension and Gold Brembo callipers off a Spec C, so hopefully it will soon have the stopping and handling prowess to make full use of the extra power. I of course could have bought a new age with PPP, but it's fun to modify and I really prefer the look of the Classic! Have fun, no matter what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think i will go for a lower power goal more like 300-320bhp so for that i take it i will need
fuel pump
turbo (which will be best)
re map
will the std intercooler be ok or will a better top mount be required as i dont want to fit fmic as want to keep std looks, if better tmic is required which would be recomended as a direct replacement dont want hassle of fitting sti 8 also would i need to fit a larger scoop with better tmic
cheers for replys so far benny
