Default Advice for my wrx

Well ive had this for a few months now...

Really like it but i want more power
Now i used to be a 200sx man so dont know alot about these
this is a import as a lot of you will know and still restrickted to 112mph as only been in the country for a year.
Ive had all the major service done (£600.00) so now i want power!!
Ive replaced and uprated all the discs and pads and have fitted a cone filter.
What step do i take now?
My old sx was 376 bhp and i would like to get this around that mark
Thanks guys

Front mount intercooler
walbora 255 fuel pump
550 injectors
Decat 3 inch
TD05 18g/20g turbo
ECU thats mappable
remap.
Plus your clutch and gearbox and engine will be on borrowed time.

gonna need alot of work for that figure, quick brief would be, full decat 3" system, sti tmic or fmic, bigger inj, remap ecu, gear box wont take much abuse at 350 bhp and engine internals may also start to show weakness, change of turbo depending what ur running.ul probably need a boost controller. then u have chassis upgrades, better suspension, possibly 4 po or bigger brakes on front. im sure there is alot more that people will add on here. but theres a startign point for you. do a few searches, many people ask simular questions on how to get more power.

hope you've got plenty of money mate because it won't be cheap to get that kind of power (reliable power)

Right looks like a change of plan
After talks with one of the local time attack guys he is only running around 320ish in his impreza so that might be the road i take.
Anybody got a 3 door shell??

Why a cone filter?

The standard air box is pretty good. Uprate the panel filter and you'll be able to go to 350-390 BHP with the right mod's. As stated you need some serious uprated components to achieve 400 BHP.
