Depends on how much you want to spend really bigger injectors (550cc for example) might be a worthwhile buy.

- Flat4online.co.uk Subaru Impreza Mitsubishi Evolution EVO Walbro Fuel Pumps Injectors Intercoolers did Nismo 550cc injectors for £375.
you will have to get the car remapped as soon as possible after fitting them as the car won't run very well

I'd have a word with the guy who is doing the mapping for help rather than SN

Bob Rawle down your way had an outrageous STi Ver 5/6 on his drive the first time I went to have my Bugeye mapped

No advantage in upsizing injectors, they will cope with the airflow the std turbo can produce.
An adjustable fuel pressure reg would however assist in improving atomization on the OE units.
The Sti6 goes really well with the spec you have there. Good cost effective point to stop !
Next stage really needs a lot of parts upgrading at the same time to get a worthwhile step increase, ie intercooler/injectors/headers/turbo/induction Lots of £££'s

As I type, a Mapper with a serious reputation for Apexi stuff steps in

......Choose the mapper before the mods LOL
