Question I would like 300bhp - Whats the best way?

Pretty much as the title suggests.

My car is 94 wrx, bog standard with the exception of 255 fuel pump, stainless decat centre section and different can on the rear.

I would like to aim for 300bhp however whats the best way. I know its gonna be dear old job anyway but where the hell do you start?

I really need some proper advice on this as i would like to begin within the next two months.

Thanks

no there a few poeple that do deals should cost about 750 i know its not cheap but in my view its the safer way to go if you dont quite want to go that exspence you could try and find one of the scoobyecu chips but these a generic chips nothing wrong with them mind you but not flexible for future upgrades

You have got to be prepared to spend the cash. It's alright getting to 300bhp but you want it to be reliable.

get some bigger injectors, a power fc fitted and mapped, and you should be close to 300bhp for your 1k budget. I would also get a decat downpipe (you will probably be better for a sports one so you have no mot worries)

Consider a better intercooler aswell. The one you have is pants 300 bhp is on its limit.
