Any guess what power would be looking at a 2006 STI with center des removed, Ninja II back box and then re-mapped to run on 95 ron fuel?
Is there any way of making more power, a CAT remove but still have emisions to pass MOT, is there only one CAT? etc.

the 06 WRX intercoler is good for 340-350 BHP
i am runing 280bhp and 340ft-lbs
so don't spent on things you don't need
you don,t need a STI intercooler untill you want more than 350 bhp

354bhp 360 torque, 3" milltek exhaust, uprated panel filter. litchfield/powerstation performance package (not sure exactly what this entails). sports cat.
coilovers, arb and antilift for the handling
superb power delivery, pulls like a train from 3k-7k

Take it you kept the std fuel pump & IC?
How much were the coilovers and where did you get them?

Guys, which is better for power (and filtration): Panel Filter or a Cold Air Intake with a K&N Cone Filter in the wing. I bought my car with the K&N and it seems a good filter but is seems so small to deliver that amount of air. I suppose if you roll out the K&N it is about the same area as a panel filter.......
BTW the K&N also has a microfibre "Outer Mesh" like an "Outerwear", that seems to be a help in keeping the birds and leaves out.

I have an 06 STi. Bought it with FMIC, CAIK, full turbo-back decat, mapped to 353 BHP by Pat Herborn. I did not like the lag of the FMIC and refitted a stock TMIC and Pat remapped it to 341 BHP but much more driveable and an improvement in fuel consumption. As my daily drive it is more than enough power. I recommend you have a sensible zorst (my Magnex is a bit load when you drive 800 miles in one go) and one does not need more than 340 BHP unless you want to race. Torque and driveability are much more useful on the road. And good suspension. Coilovers make so much difference IMHO. I bought the car with Prodrive Springs and 18" low profile tyres - holy cow it bounced all over the road and felt unsafe. Ok for a track maybe. I went back to stock wheels and tyres, and BC Coilovers, and the ride is so much better. Maybe the previous set-up was good for the track but the confidence now is much better so I probably corner better anyway.
Summary: Stock STi: stock wheels, coilovers (don't lower it - watch Brett Midleton of MRT on Youtube fit coilovers. He says it is not adviseable) , de-cat the zorst, CAIK (K&N), re-map by a good mapper. Luxuries; Gauges and an oil cooler. Oh and a GFB DV helps the turbo with gearchanges, set to recirc not "Tish" that's for kids (it kills your fuel consumption) Then fully ester synthetic oil everywhere. The next things to be fiddled with are the suspension components. Peter

Also all these posts, different figures should be taken with a pinch of salt as too many variables, especially some being on road/delta dash figures & some being on the rollers of which there are so many different ones.

litchfield and powerstation are both the same i understand. litchfield import and powerstation tune i think.
my coilovers came on the car when i bought it but im sure they are not cheap they have adjustable ***** inside the car for firmness which is clever but i doubt they will be adjusted much
blitz nur backbox next to improve the sound to hopefully sound similar to my classic
cheers
