Hmmmmmmm, that's ONE of the years when a remap isn't possible and it needs a whole new ecu
Mine DID go quite well after I fitted a decent panel filter, and had it decatted. It ran on a TSL Group N system front to rear.
Whether it would make 250 is debatable, probably nearer 240
Has yours had the front brakes modded yet? THAT is a decent road to take, the stock brakes are cr@p.
I've done quite a bit to mine, PM me if you are interested
Mine is away at present having the engine rebuilt onto a 2.5 litre forged short motor.

On your brakes, check if they have SUBARU in raised letters on the calipers. If so, you have four pots, if not, two.
Probably the cheapest most worthwhile upgrade is to go to four pots
Leave VTA dumpvalves to those who value the noise above a sweet-running, safe engine.

I always thought that 98-00 ECU were Mapable without the need for changing ECU.
quick question JGM i have panel filter,
if i decat and get re-map what power could u get from my MY00 Turbo 2k.

Really that's a huge difference will that translate into alot faster or are we talking marginal difference on the road. what would I need to see say 300-320. Just a fuel pump?

Everyone talks about chasing bhp figures. But it the torque figures you want to chase. Most of it though comes down to the map and how drivable it is.
270 - 280 in a classic is very nice. My wrx ra was running 280/270 and was very nice power. However my Dad's uk 2000 is running 270/280 and that was quicker. Even though the RA had the short box. Torque is where it's at.

Considering that the classics weigh less than the newage cars, I'd say it was adequate. Mine certainly suprised a few people at that sort of level
Not really, it just runs out of puff, so you don't get any more power. it's to do with how much air the turbo can shift, once it's at it's maximum, it can't compress any more, so the engine can't breathe any more and "runs out of puff".

I think everyone is missing the point here. The op said he had a 98 S reg - he never said what MY it is. That needs to be answered before he blows any cash on a new ecu
