Was looking forward to getting remap on sat £ 350 and only got 21 brake more than standard.so no more crap fuel in car . Save up for decat next .Ive got an 03 wrx if any one got a cheap sports cat or simaler for sale

i take it you mapped it on normal unleaded?? if you get a decat, a decent panel filter and a walbro fuel pump and run it on v power should hit the 280 bhp mark with a remap.

Everyone counts mate! Have you upgraded the brakes though?

[98 meds wrx]

yes all helps.no other up grades as yet only had car about a month.cant beleive difference between my previous classic import 265 brake as standard v quick,but this is a more refined ride (must b getting old).

Ha haa... yep.. once you get roudn to removing a couple of those catalytic converters, swap out standard backbox for just about anything else and repalce the hard plastic Y-pipe under hte intercooler with a nice squidgy silicone one (plastic ones have been known to split when boost in increased) and it'll start getting more like your ol classic

21bhp isn't too bad an increase on standard parts.. Just running on V-power or T99 can give you an almost instant 10bhp alone.. Costs more though...

Worth checking out ebay or the sales sectuion on here or even post up something in the wantes areas for any parts you seek

Have you notices much of a difference with the remap in terms of drivability?

P.s. It's a VERY slippery slope once you start...

Cant go wrong with Alan and Martyn.

[98 meds wrx]

yeah good lads martin knows his stuff

So what are your torque figures like then mate? They are probably more important on the roads around here than the absolute bhp. You can see what my limited mods did. I was very pleased with the torque figures. The decat downpipe made the biggest difference imho.

[98 meds wrx]

hi mate torque is approx 250 not sure how much of an increase that is to standard.
