Hello Everyone. I am new to Scoobys, and this i my first post. I have just bought a 1999 Turbo AWD, in lovely condition, with 70K on the clock.

It has a couple of STi bits on it, flaps, exhuast, and seats. A part from that, it has an induction kit, but basically standard.

Just wondered what the first steps of increasing power would be. Not too crazy, just want to get up around the 260-280 bhp mark

And also where would be the best place to get this work carried out? I'm in Rochester Kent.

Cheers and thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks

Drew

 

full decat (if not already) and rempa will see around the 260-270bhp mark, after that point you need to change the turbo etc. how far you go depends on your budget.

 

What's the sort of cost on a re-map, and where locally (ish) is the best place to get it done.

Cheers

Drew

 

Simon at www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk has done mine and many others - very good

 

depends what part of the country are you?

 

See earlier message

 

not my neck of the woods im afraid so not sure whos down that way, sorry

 

Normally £5-600 +VAT minimum, all depends on which route you choose to go down.

i.e Ecutek, APexi, Simtek etc.

Ecutek is the cheapest as it retains the original ECU.

I Ecutekd my MY00 and it cost me £500+VAT.

Have a look at JGMs website quoted above. Prices through him on first page.

e.g. Ecutek £550, Apexi £795 etc.

i also want my 2001 wrx upgraded im from county durham does any 1 no any 1 from tht area..also what wud i need doin te run it at 300bhp...wen i bought it ..i was told it has a pro drive pack...a dont even no wot this even is...i dont even know wot break its running at now..any help wud be appreciated..thanks

 

its running 265 if its a prodrive pack on it, full de-cat (replacing the sports cat on the downpipe) and re-map to take it upto nearer 300.

ps; I actually told you this in a previous thread you made asking a similar question.....

 

Replace your ageing fuel pump m8 and if its over 270-280 if youve got a good one !
Your gonna need a turbo td04 oem will be maxed

 

Bin the induction kit, doesnt help as you just draw heat into the engine instead of cold air, ie nice sound, slower car.
Replace with a decent panel filter (still has nice sound and more power to boot!)
Oh and induction kits can play havoc with the MAF sensor on 99/00 cars, another reason not to have one

So full decat and panel filter, you dont need a fuel pump for that, should give you about 270bhp, check with your insurance co first, and id do the brakes before anything else, they suck.

Better safe than sorry

is in Kent i think

 

Bloody hell, 1999 with only 70k *gulp*, my 03 has got 76k on it, Hahaha.

 

I had my MY99 remapped by Bob Rawle, in Swindon. I have a KN panel filter and a cat back exhaust. He is very good, mine has 68K on the clock and he squeezed 281bhp and 312 lb/ft out of mine, its totally transformed the car. As yours is also a MY99 think about factoring in the price of a new MAF. Total price of both remap and MAF should be around £650-£750 depending who does it. Its worth every penny
