Quest for 300hp at fly
Will a downpipe and tune get me to 300 fly on my 06 STi? She's on around 279 at the mo.
Is downpipe enough, or do I need a re-map as well?
Take it.

re-map will be needed
de-cat downpipe
decent air filter
3 port boost solenoid
walbro fuel pump

It's the Spec D Hawkeye. One of 120! Apparently...

Are you aware of the engine issues on the 2.5?

Yes. And no.
Yank sites go on about ringlands failure - which I think is piston valves(?).
I thought a mild tune with regular servicing was ok?

It's poor if you have to worry about 300hp, if it went at that it would have gone anyway.

Well - she's had a full service, compression test etc. All good. Running well.
I think I'll go for it when funds allow.

I'd look for someone with experience of mapping 2.5 engines and knows about their weaknesses.

Try Slowboy in Brands Hatch - he looked after my Spec D when HG went at around 55k - that was 6 years and 50k miles ago - running 358 / 380.

Thanks for the recommendation. Those are good figures you've got!
