Nice result.
Out of interest what made you decide to go for a simtek?
Was it just for the AL?

Well I gathered mine over time, most of the bits came off here second hand also which kept costs down. I can't give you an exact figure as I've honestly forgotten. You have to also bare in mind I did mine in stages. I started with just a decent panel filter and cat back package then got Duncan to map it. I'd say a year later I'm where I am today. At a rough guess not including the ecu I'd say 1-1.5k? But as prices can vary on second hand bits that could be more or less. It was well worth the wait

Do you think i would notice a big difference with an exhaust system remap and panel filter. might be a silly question but ive only ever been in my standard wrx .Never driven a modified one or an sti.

You be surprised mate, a cat back with a panel filter and map should see roughly 260ish if I remember rightly I certainly noticed the difference. If you have already saved for the full system upgrade then you may as well go with that otherwise your looking at getting it mapped twice which mean more money. Up to you bud, maybe go to a local Subaru meet in your area and get a ride in cars modded at different stages?

i did the same double take with my wrx. pretty much same mods as you but with a fmic. Hoped for 320bhpish but was quite surprised to get 355bhp

fair enough on the simtek, i would quite like some anti-lag mischief myself

Something, I've always fancied doing to mine but was be a bit worried about those kind of power levels on the engine/gearbox/clutch.

I can understand the worries but mine has had an easy life and I'm not one for going everywhere at 100mph. Each to there own I guess, I'm happy with it though.

Who says you have to get an Sti to get performance. Lots of us WRX owners on here cant lay out the cash for a nice STI. But we can afford bits and bobs on a regular basis. Top result.

Don't get me wrong I would like an STI but funds didn't allow it at the time plus the insurance was off the scale. I've done this over time and yes the money spent would probably now get me an STI if I'd saved but I've learnt a lot about the car over the years and enjoyed modded it along the way, I still won't rule out getting an STI in the future but for now I'm loving what I have.

Same here with the funds. Im currently at around 280bhp ( maxing out on everything ) td04, injectors, fuel pump etc, upgrade time is knocking at my door.

mate, i couldn't of put it better myself. I feel exactly the same about mine.
Its been a great experience taking my wrx to 350bhp, you develop a relationship with your car when you scrape your knuckles on her. Its great power level for a road car too and plenty of fun on the track.
In some ways i'm glad the gearbox is stopping me from taking it further as its easy to get carried away chasing numbers instead of just enjoying the car.

+1 for the above ,I couldn't have put it better myself ,a 280 bhp car will do 150 mph on the road ,so 350 is a awesome result and can be enjoyed whether your going down the shops to pick up anewspaper,or hammering down the motorway for a early sunday morning blast . Well done & enjoy.
