Not gonna get much of a power hike without changing the turbo first,steer clear of induction kits,sealed airbox's are better than you think..... and a fmic is wasted until your current tmic is overwhelmed which again your current turbo cannot do...

Decat is good though........

Have a Polar performance chip in mine, changed the coolant hoses to some samco ones after my top rad hose burst. Never found performance to be a problem in my wagon to be honest.. Im going to go for a de-cat at some point and change my filter to a green panal, but thats probably where i'll leave it.

Don't want to go to silly on it

With those mods i hope to get to around 260-270 bhp! Make mme a happy bunny cos it weighs naff all

The biggest improvement you'll see would be from replacing the down pipe with a de-cat.. Most "cat-less" systems are mid section back and a waste of time IMHO, the front cat is the most restrictive part of the system.

You don't say how old the car is but decat and remap (if possible according to age) will give you a 60ish bhp hike for about £1k.

£1k.. screw that..

Decat down pipe, decent back box and a boost controller should see you 60bhp for around £300 if you go second hand

its a 95 wrx wagon, i had it rolled at 205 but the up pipe is blowing so getting sorted and it has a hks super dragger on, and a hks green panel filter, i'm comming down from a 300bhp mr2 turbo, so guess i'm power chasing.

i have a decat and the air filter to change with the chip ready to go in, i'd like to at least see 250, as the zorst is being restricted by cat and blowing and the chip states it ups boost etc.
