Default New subaru owner!

After around 3 years of mr2 turbo ownership I have finally come to realise I needed more space and a car that isnt too low! and so went looking for a new car and in came the 2001 plate wrx!! The owner told me about the forum so I thought id register as I am clueless about subaru tuning/ upgrading



Already has exhaust and decat, airfilter, turbosmart dumpvalve and various suspention upgrades. Mr2 tuning wise after this point id be looking at FCD, intercooler upgrade and upping boost is that the same principle for the subaru? sorry for the questions there just seem to be so many variations and revisions of subaru its nuts! the mr2s only went from revision 1-5 lol

Welcome to the forum
There are so many tuning options so it really depends what you are looking for.
If you're not looking for silly power then I'd suggest a front mounted intercooler, uprated fuel pump and then have the car remapped.
That should easily see you into the early 300's depending on the condition of your engine.

I think around 300-320bhp be the end goal depending on how reliable the engines are and when injectors get maxxed out etc ill have to do some searching! thanks for the replies guys

I didn't even know classics went to 2001, it must be one of the last models. Just incase you don't know: make sure you run it on high octane fuel (99 ron).

I take it you want the FCD as you want to up the boost, but surely the fc was put in place as a warning that your running to much boost?
