Default Help for a new Member please!!

Hi Guys. im a new member as i have just bought an 02' WRX
Love the car and always been a fan of the imperza series.
firstly i want to do some engine mods to bring up the bhp and torque figures. want to spend around £1000-£1400. what realisticly can i do for that money and what gains can i expect to get, and where is the best place to do it as i have heard some horror stories!!!!? power engineering do a power pack that does an increase of 30bhp and 35-40 extra torque for £1100 all in. is it worth it?? i live in the bradford area so any workshop recomendations in yorkshire would be helpfull
cheers for any help
Marko

welcome to the world of Scooby ownership!

I'd suggest de-catting the exhaust and then getting a re-map. If you buy the parts second hand you can make a good saving.

Powerstation were doing Tek 3 re-map for £499 + vat as part of a group buy. Migh be worth changing the panel filter too.

If you have some money left then go for some lowering springs, uprated rear anti-roll bar and solid drop links.
