Thats a pretty ****ty comment to make.
Not everyone has the money to jump in with a higher spec straight away.
---------
I had a 330bhp Turbo 2000
Andy F Map with Apexi FC
Full stainless system with decats 3"
VF 35 Turbo
Bigger injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
I did it on the cheap with 2nd hand parts.
Its easily achievable mate.

Prices of STIs and WRXs these days are peanuts. The insurance will be more on a Turbo 2000 with mods to match that power so I don't see your argument?

I see what your saying about prices ect.
I made the same mistake 4 year ago, bought a Impreza Sport and 1 month later I was in my UK Turbo because insurance was much and such.
But I am sure he has already looked at that thats what i meant its a ****ty comment.

i had a standard uk bugeye with 215bhp when i bought it.. when i sold it it was running 280bhp/282 torque.. i fitted...
Full turbo back decat exhaust
Walbro Fuel pump
STi panel filter
EcuTek remap (by JGM)
didnt upgrade the TMIC and i didnt upgrade the turbo, i could have made slightly more bhp if i had fitted a decat up pipe too. if i upgraded the TMIC to an STi one and fitted some 550 pink injectors then i could have got nearer 320bhp but i didnt have the budget to do it plus ide have had to upgrade the brakes too..no point having all that power if you havnt got somthing that will stop you too.

Exhaust system with either a de-cat downpipe or sports cat,
Decent panel filter,
I'd stick a new fuel pump in just to be safe,
Mapping session.
Will see a nice healthy power increase but more importantly, will drive a whole lot better. Mapping is expensive first time round, expect to pay £550.

I will add a brake upgrade to that list though

I went down the line of fitting an Apexi ECU rather than remapping what I already had. The results were more or less similar, but having a different ECU meant I did not have to rely on the MAF sensor.

[QUOTE=powerwrx;10726945]didnt i speak sense 
lol sorry mate after reading it again you did. Mattys was just for a classic and specific on what to do and not what he'd done so caught my eye quicker.

And SURELY, he'll be declaring the mods, because if he doesn't, he could end up uninsured and I, personally, don't want him running into me......You follow?

Hi fella. My UK Subaru was standard 215bhp when bought. After fitting a straight 3" decat, Walbro fuel pump, Green Cotton panel filter and having it remapped by Bob Rawle, it's now running 284bhp/317lbft with a graph to prove. It was road mapped and pretty accurate.
Tip: Source some second hand bargains to keep your costs down. My Impreza was £1400 and just became available at a convenient time after an insurance payout. Exhaust was s/h, Walbro was sourced new cheap, filter was 60 miles old and half price, and the ECU was already previously mapped/licensed so I just paid for a fresh map. £2,100ish it stood me inc. the car

straight through SS zort + decent ITG panel air filter will see a good 20+bhp without anything else needing doing.
my classic was a 208bhp (MY97) standard car, the above saw me 238bhp on the Rolling Roads

But if he's looked, and has bought a 215hp car and insured it, then SURELY he ought to know that modding it will bang his premiums beyond what an STi or a WRX would have cost?
And SURELY, he'll be declaring the mods, because if he doesn't, he could end up uninsured and I, personally, don't want him running into me......You follow?
