Default How much power?

HI there fellow scooby owners!!
Just a quick question about what power to expect from my sti v1. I have owned the car for 5 years now, and have recently started buying a few go faster bits.
I have a full 3" system fitted, including the decat pipe (Roger Clark).
HKS Green ar filter (cone type).
Pace front mount intecooler, combined with uprated radiator.
Blitz dump valve.
I have 550cc injectors ready to fit with walbro fuel pump, which will be fitted when i have the custom remap done.
Also having the inlet manifold reversed.
This will be on the tdo5 16g.
what sort of power can i expect from this? Cheers for any feed back.

pretty sure with that set up (the turbo, engine/gearbox strength and injectors are limiting you) i'd say 330-350ish. educated guess of course.

So far every thing else on the car is standard. At a later date, once a few pennies have been saved i will be fitting a 6 spd box with uprated clutch etc. Also brembo brakes of a new age car.
But for the time being just want to make the most out of the current setup. So not after mega power at the moment. Was looking for around the 330bhp mark.

I would start the other way around, do the brakes, gearbox, clutch and suspension first, there is no use having 330bhp if your brakes fade at the first touch, your gearbox breaks due to the excessive power or your engine lets go.
Do the supporting mods first, then go for more power, or end up in a ditch/wall/back of the car in front of you!
