3. Graham Goode Racing, Leicester area.
4. Roger Clark Motorsport, Leicester area.
A good search on the internet should find web sites and contact numbers for the above.
Happy searching, Wolfie.

I went my own route as well, because i'd already forked out for a backbox and didn't want to sell that on and lose money, but mainly because all the tuners are miles away from me.
So opted for:
Afterburner Decat Downpipe £200
Afterburner Decat Pipe £100
Afterburner Centre £100
Ninja Backbox £225
Simota High Flow Panel Filter (Free with above)
Walbro 255L Fuel pump £82
Ported & wrapped headers & uppipe (Harveys Option 2) £400
Fitting £200
Andy F remap £600
Have a RR session planned for friday, so i'll see what figures comes from it. the car is transformed though. Andy reckons pretty much the same as the TSL package. Anywhere around there and i'm happy, anything more and i'll be well chuffed.

OK just a idea, why not keep the downpipe cat you have then get rid of the centre cat and/or resonator box and then have the backbox of your choice (could keep the STi one if you want it quiet), then go for a remap from someone like Bob Rawle (highly recommended by me ), it wont have quite the power & torque of the other packages but it will pass the M.O.T. and will cost you a fare bit less
As i said just a idea

i am also interested in extreme power mods on 03 sti for sensible money - is this the one?

when you can buy a complete newly built 6 litre chevy and shipping - with more power - for the same money -- ok - so it wouldnt fit - but you get my point - Scooby tuning is far too expensive for what you get
what happened to the Scooby Magazine project WRX - that was looking like same power for far less - based on a WRX!

If i was to consider the 03 WRX as a base rather than STi - for fast road use, what would i miss out on - how does the different diff set up show up in handling?
Surely the WRX motor is built to a far lower internal spec? - Seriously, just how practical is a 370 /370 for durable road use - I know you and Bob dont see eye to eye over engine reserves! - Will the 5 speed live with that torque?
What cost and spec reqd for min brake and suspension upgrades - like to retain comfort between WRX and STi and dial out some understeer and if possible the front torque squirm as one wheel becomes lightly loaded pulling out of tight corner
would i be better off basing on Sti and you changing turbo + other engine mods - brakes, suspension, transmission and engine far more sophisticated?
Goal is a genuine 360/360+ ish with great broadband drivability
Rather interested, if it all adds up

i went to powerstation and had just the decat miltek exhuast and remap
sourced my own green panel filter
the end result was 332bhp which is apparently good for the bugeye version engine
also i now have the Prodrive sportscat available for sale which tsl say is pretty much equivalent to their sportscat and wrc tech say is very good

If you research the bits and pieces you should be able to get 330-340 for about £1000 using 2nd hand parts with the main cost being te remap. Don't think a fuel pump is required. The WR1 has 320std and it's ok.
You can pay double the price if you like to have someone sell you expensive parts to do the same job.
Once you start aiming over 330-340 on the std uk sti VF35 turbo you have to start running silly boost at air flow rates above it's performance limits (which it will do if forced by overheating the air) and pulling timing at parts of the map to compensate. This is irresponsible on a car to be called a daily driver imo.
