Hey all, ive recently bought a 1995 subaru wrx import,
from what i can see the current mods are;
full stainless steel exhaust
its been lowered (not sure what make or height)
anti lag
flame-kit (bit chavvy for me ha)
18 inch rims with toyo proxis
dump valve
Boost gauge
with the sale I also got a front mount with all pipes + turbo timer, none fitted yet.
this is the first scooby ive owned and im just looking to spend some cash on it to improve performance, was considering a remap but id like to uprate a few things before the remap, what sort of things should i go for!? can spend anywhere from £300-£600 a month
reply's much appreciated.

Have a look at www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk, tells what mods to do and what bhp/torque you might achieve - he does not sell performance parts so unbiased advice.

There's a switch, when on it idles about 500rpm over normal, if revved stationary loud pops and bangs out the exhaust, when driving it sounds like the turbo spools quicker

it should indeed, i wouldn't got to crazy with mods tho if i were you, well if you want some reliability anyway. Keep it around the 300bhp mark and it 'should' be ok

thats a bonus ,having a simtek, what turbo have you got on it, i would consider going to vf35, can be had for less than 300 quid and shouldnt stress the engine too much - fingers crossed

The problem is youre gearbox, thats why the chaps are saying 300BHP, larger turbos also come in with a bit of a bang, and the excessive torque is addictive and kills the box after a while. you can push the engine to the top of the turbo flow , produces more heat, the FMIC will remove most of the heat, but again bag gos the box LOL, take is to an expert put it on the ramps amd look over it and see whats been changed. Brakes are a good idea !
