Im new here and am after abit of advice as to where to start with performance upgrades for my 55 plate wrx wagon. It already has the prodrive pack fitted from new but am looking for abit more power. Have been looking about abit but struggling to work out where to start. FMIC , remap , etc.
Thanks

 

More power(300plus bhp) will require turbo (vf35), sti pink injectors, sti top mount IC, uprated fuel pump, a sportcat if you dont have it as part of PPP(or decat), and decatted rest of the exhaust system. That'll give you more than 300 bhp.

 

And a remap after this ? and if so can anyone recommend Power Engineering in uxbridge as im near Kingston upon Thames o maybe somewhere in west london

 

Yes, a remap after. Id speak to Duncan (Dynamix) on here about your options. Very nice guy.

 

Ok so that's a big help , will fmic be any help with turbo life and how it performs ?

 

Thanks very much for the help any one else got any thoughts on the FMIC as this seems to be about the same price as sti top mount.

 

Your WRX's internals and gearbox - and the TMIC to an extent - would limit you from getting remapped beyond circa 350/350 (if you're sensible, that is ).

Therefore a FMIC would be an unnecessary purchase/hassle..... UNLESS.... you drive it on the limiter everywhere or track it lots. In which case a move to a FMIC will significantly reduce AITs and therefore be a very wise (read essential) move.

But for normal use/fast road blats, then the TMIC is fine.


TIP: On a TMIC, just don't do launches if you've been sat idling in traffic/at traffic lights for some time (esp. in hot weather). Drive off boost for about 1/4 mile before opening her up.
