Default V2 Type RA Mods Question

Im planning on fitting a Gems Ecu to my V2 RA, the car already has a full decat system inc down pipe other than that is factory. Before getting it mapped I want to upgrade the injectors and the IC. So my question is what are my best options sti 440's or find a bigger capacity set? An aftermarket or v7 tmic or fmic? I dont want to loose any bottom end so thinking a larger turbo is out of the question? The car will be used for hillclimbs and sprints. Thanks in advance

I'm running a V2 RA.

HDI FMIC
440cc yellows
Adjustable FPR
Walbro 255
Harvey Up Pipe
ESL mapped by Racedynamix
Standard TD05 16g
K&N induction kit
Decat downpipe

Currently making 317bhp

Next mods are new age coil packs and ver4 MAP sensor hoping to get another 10bhp or so,

Wish I'd gone for a TMIC tbh

No gains, just more reliable than the 16yr old versions (famous for breaking down)

Mine made 317bhp before the coil packs started breaking down.



I have an engine build thread on Type RA.com

IRC its around 300 ftlb torque. I'm under the impression that a new age sti TMIC can be made to fit. Do a search maybe?
