welcome to scoobynet GIBEY D Excellent choice of car and a nice leap in performance from the screaming banshee that is the ctr
You're quite right with the 265bhp or thereabouts on a standard sti, and ppp adds a few more horses to make around 305bhp and 300lbft torque. However, before you go off and give prodrive/subaru your hard earned cash for that particular path of upgrade, consider carefully the options available to you for similar/lower prices.
With an ecutek 3 remap, panel filter, sports cat downpipe, 3" exhaust (milltek), and the uprated fuel pump from a previous ppp on my own car, I've ended up with a rolling road figure of 350bhp/349lbft ! Which is nice

Have a good read on here in the projects section, and do a search specific to your model of car: my04 sti, and see what comes up.

In the meantime, get out and enjoy it while petrol is still less than £1 litre!

Oh, and one final point: there's no "t" in Impreza

CW42 ; When does an uprated fuel pump become necessary and what turbo does you car have ? Does the fuel pump increase power much ?

When you're taking the car over 300bhp I guess. Car is an my03 sti on the standard turbo, the fuel pump doesn't increase power, it, along with the other mods, allows the car to work at its best.


disclaimer: I am in no way technically minded, and you'd be better waiting for someone else who knows what they're talking about with pumps and power ratings to give you a proper answer!

Cheers - when does the car reach full boost and did it improve after the map?
