That is the only snag when you start tunning you always want more. I had my Bugeye STi running 360 bhp on GEMS ECU, FMIC, uprated fuel pump, Tubular manifold, induction kit and APS 3 inch exhaust Brakes and suspension also uprated as parts required. In 2008 I found my turbo was getting tired so after some reaserch and discussion I opted for the FP Green turbo from Scoobymania. I also fitted 650cc injectors, the APS parallel fuel rail kit, an Aeromotive FPR, inlet manifold spacers and APS turbo intake pipe. Once mapped that took me to 400 bhp. Late last year I found two of the brackets on my exhaust pipe had snapped so upgraded my exhaust to a APS 3.5 ich de-cat so once it was mapped that took it to 416 bhp as my mapper would not go any further as the car was at 97K miles. So next step will be a rebuild and take it to @ 500 bhp. Then what who knows....

Based on an R34 GTR, you are still way behind on power to weight. What skyline is it?
Back to the origional question - if you have £££ then RCM is the way forward

My last bill at RCMS was for £12 grand LOL

Modding the bugeye WRX for big power is a real money pit ...... if you want a scooby to mod then look at the Hawkeye Spec C's
