How to get a uk2000 model to the 300hp mark
Might be buying a uk turbo very soon and was wondering how hard is it to get up to the 300hp mark, and what is needed to do it. I was looking at the following
18g turbo
Apexi pfc with right map
bigger injectors
Would this see me right?
cheers

How many miles has the engine got on it? i take it you are looking for reliable 300BHP, if so and a high miles engine then suggest rebuild is budgeted for as well.

With the mods you listed, you'll probably be looking at 340+ bhp i think.

Agreed. There enough of them out there. However, if you're only looking to spend around £2k, think long and hard about if you can afford another £2k minimum if the engine goes pop. And just out of interest, why 300bhp? Have you driven a standard one yet?

The Model Years (MY) generallychanged in the August (i think it was???) of the previous year. So for instance, you can easily buy an MY98 which was built in 97 and an MY97 which was built in 96 etc. etc.
The easiest way to spot an MY99 is with the front brakes which have Subaru written on them (providing someone hasbn't upgraded the brakes on an earlier model)
MY99/00 are prefered as you can remap the ecu, although with more and more options available this isn't as important now. Other things include the better brakes and generally a more modern look - although long in the tooth it's self now.

As Brun says, the difference is the styling - front bumper, grill, lights, quite a few engine components, the interior, brakes, and most importantly if costs are an issue and you're hoping for 300bhp your ECU is not mappable. You'd need a new ECU and map which is around £800 in my experience.
Easiest way to check is your coil pack, is it in the middle of your manifold or to the right, in the middle and you have a MY98.
The MY98 was a crossover model so you can get all kinds of component combinations on them really, different interiors ect.
After I bought mine and spoke to a few people about upgrades most recommended not to bother, and to save for an STi rather than starting with a UK Turbo. Of course you can make a high bhp UK turbo, but i believe it's cheaper and easier in the long run to start with an STi.

The reaason i say 300hp mark was because i use to have a wrx running that power, and that was good n the road. I dont think the bloke is going to accept my offer this is the car in question what you think, im going to get rid of the roof scoop if he accepts lol.

My MY99 'S' has
FMIC
apexi power fc
turbo back decat
fuelabs fpr
K&N cone
3 port boost solenoid
TD05 18g
and runs 322Bhp with 1.4bar
Just needs a uprated pump to squeeze out a few more BHP
chose a power fc over mapping cos it worked out cheaper in the long run, I could get more of money back if I decided to sell the power fc than if I sild a standard ecutek'd ecu
