Default more power please how?

right got a 95 wrx wagon, due to new family memeber on the way, i had a mr2 turbo which was approx 300 bhp, i'd like to get the best from the wagon, i rolled it yesterday and got 205, the up pipe is leaking so i guess that effected it a bit, but it has a hks super dragger, and i have the following to add

decat
apexi filter
a scooby chip

what is the likely outcome of all this and what do i do to see 270+ for as little money as possible?

The wagons are not the most tunable cars out there, if you would have bought a uk version of the same year we may be talking 300bhp but the JDM ones have the smaller turbo you see on the newer UK cars (97 onwards) so about 270 is the max you will probably see

A TD05 and a Z4 ECU will be good for about 255-260bhp as-is. With a de-cat pipe and a ScoobyECU a TD04-equipped JDM 'Wagon should see over 280bhp (although not a deal, as the TD04 is at the limit of its pumping ability there). If you add a TD05 to an ESL chip on your existing ECU (similar to a ScoobyECU, you need to tell them which ECU, turbocharger & modifications you are running, or opt for a live-mappable version, which costs a good deal more) to the de-cat, then youre looking at over 300bhp. Where you stop depends on the depth of you pockets...

Deep pockets should be a standard featre on scoobys.......

Agree with above,change the turbo and ecu to get above the 300 mark,or a hybrid td04 will get very close and still retain some of your current turbo's low spool up ....

I was keeping it relatively simple... A hybrid TD04 might be good for 320bhp and it will keep the early spooling characteristics. If this appeals to you then speak to Andy Forrest, holding £400.....

right well i have the decat ready to go on and have a chip but need to see how that goes as its mapped for the wagon with tdo4 i dont want to go to into the engine, so anything around 270 is fine, after all its the kiddy transporter and part time toy, i have the up pipe to sort out first and have no idea about that hope that helps regain some minor hp.
