Default Next Step advice Please

Hi all,
Finishing off my prosport steppers tomorrow and started to think and after some advice of the next steps i should take

Currently the car is UK WRX Hawk stock except for:

Prodrive backbox
K&N Appollo closed air filter

I'm after more power but how? I'm off to Germany in Feb and emissions are a problem so decat is out the question?

Any ideas

The last cat doesn't do a lot so you might get away with gutting it rather than fitting an obvious decade pipe.

Otherwise, the usual culprits really - bigger turbo, IC, injectors and remap. It all depends on your budget.

Again depends on your budget but if you map it first, you'll get a good idea of whether you want to spend another £500+ on a bigger turbo, IC, etc.

Also, it's worth improving the brakes and suspension before going for mega power though.

Both of the above (EngineMapper/Graham and Bow Rawle) plus Zen in Northampton (http://www.zenperformance.co.uk) and Carnetix in Melton Mowbray (http://www.carnetix.co.uk/).

Have used Bob myself and was very pleased with the outcome and I've heard good things about the others.
