Remapping a hawkeye
Fitted my only mod to the hawkeye last week, a Scoobyworld Afterburner backbox and centre section.
Looking for get JGM to remap it now. What figures should I expect from the remap? bhp and torque.
Also, would my remapped WRX be able to keep pace with a standard newage STI?

a remapped WRX will eat a 100% std STi for breakfast whether that be the 2.0STi or the 2.5 STi.
You will be looking at around 265 ish bhp and 320 ish lb/ft with the two std cats in - they are fairly restrictive but the biggest issue is the small turbo and that really runs out of puff beyond 5000 rpm.
The hawkeye wrx is the easiest wrx to mod beyond 300bhp as it is just a turbo change - stick on a vf43 and decat and will hit around 350bhp & 400 lb/ft.

I got my hawkeye mapped by JGM
283bhp 345lb/ft of torque
The good thing about the TD04 is it comes on boost quickly with virtually no lag but yes does run out off puff after 5000 rpm
The brakes are not s**t just get a set of feroda ds2500 pads

Yes the Sti have different turbos. The Hawkeye STI has a VF43. A standard hawk sti has 290 lb/ft torque a remapped WRX near 350 lb/ft. The hawk WRX is 85kg lighter.
5 speed gearbox also helps acceleration

The brakes are sh*t, the disc's are to small and can't dissipate the heat fast enough, which cause brake fade. The caliper is fine, I just used the Godspeed big disc conversion, they stop better than my m8's blob Sti.

Cheers for all the info guys. Wow, didn't realise you could get so much from such little mods from a 2.5 litre 
So is a vf43 the standard turbo you'd find in an STI?
If I fit one of these, what supporting mods would I need to fit as well?
Any idea how much they cost?

WRX + remap = must have. By the sounds of it. Likewise I wouldn't without doing the brakes first mind.
Or you could just get an STi and remap that with supporting mods to get an even better car
