Default RB320 Query

My mate currently has an E46 M3 CSL and is wanting to cash in and buy either an Evo FQ360/400 or an Impreza RB320.

He doesnt want to leave things standard though, as he's a bit power and badge mad.

He's asked what sort of modifications he could do with an RB320 to improve the power output and acceleration figures. As I dont know too much about the 2.5 in the Impreza, I thought some of you guys might know. Rough figures and prices?

Cheers

Obviously the RB already comes with the PPP as standard. General consensus is that you can get to around 350bhp without too many issues - much further than that and you may need to look at changing internals... All IMHO obviously...

I'm a bit biased but I'd be tempted to leave it relatively standard - they perform / handle well out of the box so to speak

I prefer the RB320, but if he's after performance, he'd be better off with the Evo.
