u need to upgrade the intercooler pipe when a remap is done as the standard one can blow off with the power. i had mine done.
also i can slightly spin the wheels when just setting of without launching it then putting the power down, then just grips an into 2nd and im off, currently got eagle f1s on.
i have cdf drop links front n rear, sti modified anti roll bar on rear (hardest setting)
upgrade wise ive got
intercooler y pipe kit
green performace filter (blue colour type)
full milltek decat (open bellmouth) inc up pipe
ngk heat 7 plugs
walbro 225 fuel pump
mapped by andy carr.
running about 300hp ish, never had dyno yet so yet to proove real figures.
on standard turbo for blobeye 2005 think its td04?

Please do tell me who told you this? Is it a new age thing? Owning a classic which has the standard y-pipe before/after a remap, I've had no problems at all with it 'blowing off'. Infact I had the intercooler off earlier today for another job and it seems totally fine.
Please, enlighten me as it's something Bob Rawle (who is one of the best mappers out there) did not see worth mentioning.

Also if you have the stock turbo in a blob wrx then about 280bhp will be your limit.

its nothing to do with it blowing off, its just a silicone pipe is nice and smooth on the inside for better airflow. The stock one is cheap plastic with ribbing, which is cheaper to make but not so good for airflow.

Duncan, Any idea why the Blob's do a bit better than the Bug? I thought the WRX Bug / Blob engine was mechanically identical apart from some tweaks to the ECU ?
Just curious...

Ah so because your mates blew apart because it may have been worn, you're now saying you have to change it when getting a remap.
No disrespect but next time try word it a bit better as it happening to your mate doesn't mean it will happen every time or indeed be a necessity.

I am sure 300 bhp is possible. I'd like to think you got me close to that on my stock turbo, Duncan
but he was claiming 300bhp ish without a dyno which seems a bit ambitious to me.Maybe i'm just splitting hairs

better airflow therfore more spool up so an advisory upgrade in my opinion, just inputing my opinion as its a topic thread.
ask ur best mechanic in the world im sure he will tell u same
p.s dont belive everthing that people tell you

I agree better airflow etc, but the comment about having to change them as the original will blow off due to extra power is bollocks and unless factually based shouldn't have been written.
That was my query.

No, the box will not grenade itself as you pass 350bhp, at least not immediately.
I've put 22k miles on since going above 350hp, and the box is still OK. The car has now done 45k miles in total.
My engine/driveline mods are:
Andy Forrest TD05-20g (@1.5 bar)
lateral 3 bolt headers
scoobyworld sports cat downpipe
PPP centre decat
scoobyworld resonated centre section
PPP backbox
Apexi Power FC intake
STI pink injectors
fuellab FPR
Walbro 255l/h pump
Perrin 3 port boost solenoid
Japspeed FMIC
API lightened flywheel
Exedy pink clutch
The only problem I've had so far with the drive line was the standard clutch, which would slip occasionally after a b-road sprint etc. This was sorted with the excellent value for money API flywheel + Exedy pink clutch.
I've been on a bunch of track days and given it a lot of grief, even running full slicks, and so far the box is hanging in there. With the cost of a 6 speed, I'm definitely fitting another 5 speed if it breaks, as I can probably fit around 8 or so 5 speed boxes for the cost of a single 6 speed, which may then need synchros refreshing etc etc. The one thing I don't do is launch it in 1st gear.
My latest map from Simon is a detuned version of the E85 mix map I had before, so now it's only running mid 370's, although I have no graph of this.
The E85 graph vs the petrol + NF graph looked like this (Red = E85 mix, blue = strong NF mix):
It's never been on a "real" dyno, but I know that I kept up with a GT3 at brands hatch all the way from clearways up to the braking point before paddock hill bend, which is a sprint of about 45-120mph. I was also evenly matched with an E39 M5 in Germany up to about 100 coming up a slip road, although the M5 was 4 people up.

There was absolutely nothing wrong, rude, defensive or otherwise with my post. You replied rudely to my post, which wasn't even for you in the first place.
My mistake, but are you not here asking questions on a public forum? Can't help some people!
As I said, just chill. And an apology would not be unwelcome.
