New Age WRX HP Increase

New Age WRX HP Increase
Hi all,
I've had my Blobeye WRX now for near 3 years with 69K on the clock. It has the usual first mods of uprated panel filter, straight through centre section and new back box. Other mods are more cosmetic, STI spoiler, boost gauge, Inovits and turbosmart bov.
So plan is to decat the 3rd cat pipe and put a 100 cell sports cat downpipe in and then go for a remap. I think the original fuel pumps on new age's are pretty strong so going to keep the standard one in for now.
Question is what sort of power am I expected to see?? I realise all cars are different when mapped but a rough figure would be good.
Secondly I would like to eventually get 300-320hp so other than a new clutch (my is on its way out) am I looking at getting bigger injectors and bigger turbo and possibly a STI Intercooler to achieve this?
Cheers all.

VF35, STI pinks, decat, including up pipe, Walbro fuel pump should see 320 bhp.
Sport cat with your current setup should see 270 after a remap.
Have you already uprated brakes and suspension?

Fuel pump will be fine, mine has decat up-pipe and downpipe with 3rd cat remaining, straight through centre section and ninja 2 back box and running 278bhp.
I've bought a TD05 front entry turbo, STI injectors and Top mount, 3 port boost solenoid, uprated fuel pump. I'm hoping this will get me to 320bhp.

Thanks for the info guys, I forgot to mention I've replaced the up-pipe already as the cat broke its welds and sounded like a rattle, a tad annoying!
Those parts listed in your replies seem to be what I thought I might need, the power gains look spot on though
If I go for a fmic over a tmic will expect to see a slighty higher output? Or is it safer staying with a sti tmic for safety?

For the sake of £70 i would uprate the fuel pump as the standard one on there will have become less reliable, Also budget for a 3port boost solenoid
Have you fitted the Tarmacs to your car yet? any pics?

It's all about how you drive. If you like your straight line blasts between the round abouts etc like i used to then uprated brakes are pointless. Never once in 80k miles in my 320bhp classic did i feel the need for better stoppers

Good to hear mate, I found the standard WRX brakes fading after 3 or 4 hard applications from speed on the country roads I predominantly drive on. Discs and pads, together with DOT 5 fluid and braided hoses should see you fine at 320bhp. ARB will improve the car's handlings far more than the strut braces.
Enjoy
