Richie Cross Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Joined the 300 club today I've got a MY05 WRX wagon and over the last year I've had fitted - Walbro fuel pump Meercat decatted snakehead downpipe Meercat centre section....................... kept the Prodrive backbox. In recent months I'd been thinking about a remap but kept on telling myself that I didn't need it etc. But...........eventually I thought, 'To hell with the credit crunch'!!! and set my plan in motion. Did my research on what I wanted then went about trying to source the parts. In the end I got VF34 from Jimser Big scoop and undertray from Peter Pink injectors from AndyJDMSTI STI TMIC from BobbyC Meercat up pipe Off to see Andy F today and ended up with figures of 334/335 which I'm very happy with. A bit more than I was expecting as well. VF34 spools up a bit later than the TD04 but when it winds up................ Andy said I could've got another 10BHP if I had a different backbox but I like the sound I get with my current set up. So, thanks to everyone that was willing to part with their parts and also to everyone that I've been sending PM's to asking them questions about things they had done/where they got this or that etc etc You know who you are!!!! Had a great drive on the way home Link to comment
C_WRX Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nice one. Must be even more unique in that not many wagons have had "improvements" to those numbers ! Maybe one day I'll get to do similar. Good to see the choices you went for though. Link to comment

jimser Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 great result richie i was running 340/338 with same turbo but fmic and a few other extra mods on my old wrx so just shows how things are progressing. well done Link to comment
fai17 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nice one Richie......i remeber the days when i had 326/315 and i thought that was good then... Link to comment
StewartyBoy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Had a run out with Richie when he brought my SatNav back yesterday. Car feels incredible, Turbo does spool up later but what a punch when it delivers. Top dollar spent, but top power gained!! Link to comment
scoobysailor Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Good figures Richie. I'm getting almost the same done to mine (except Andy Forrest TD05-16g turbo and different exhaust setup). I'm booked in with Andy for mapping in January. Similar figure would be nice Edited November 29, 2008 by scoobysailor Link to comment

craigdmcd Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Richie, is your car a 2.0 litre Blobeye? I'm slowly collecting a similar pile of bits for my wife's WRX, with the exception of the VF34 - I intend getting an Andy F TD04H to keep the drivability for her. If that is the numbers you made, then 310-320 is what I'm looking for and doesn't seem to be too optimistic . Link to comment

If that is the numbers you made, then 310-320 is what I'm looking for and doesn't seem to be too optimistic . Yes mate. MY05 Blobeye WRX. When I decided to go for it, I read up other posts on what folk on here did to their WRX. I wanted to keep the gearbox/clutch as safe as I could and didn't want to have to get forged internals etc (I think that's right?? ) Also looked at Andy's website and the different stages. Initially thought that Stage 2 would be good then thought...what about Stage 2a . Stage 2a is supposed to be 300-320BHP and so my result was a bit better. Andy said I could've had another 10BHP if it wasn't for my Prodrive backbox. As for driveability....Andy puts the boost on a high or low setting that's interchangeable via your rear de-mister. My low boost is set to about 250bhp with hight at 334bhp. Andy can alter the low boost to what you prefer. Edited November 30, 2008 by Richie Cross Link to comment
