Default Recommended upgrades
I want to get my car to around 330-350bhp I currently have a decat uppipe, turbo back cobra exhaust with a sports cat, k & n air filter, dump valve it's been mapped but needs to be tweak once it has been tweaked it has been estimated at around 280bhp which is normal I guess for these mods.

So my question is what upgrades do I need to do to get it to the 330-350 mark?

Thank you

Bug Wrx

A VF35, STi top mount and remap should get you close

It's the standard turbo on a Newage STi... So anyone upgrading will be selling

Vf34 might be slightly better but will cost more in all honesty not worth it!

Also get your fuel pump upgraded as well as you'll be pushing it harder and if it's still original it'll be getting on a bit!

Also budget for a new clutch!

If its the exedy stage 1 clutch you should be fine, not sure what the OE replacements can take?

As C.J says you can get away without the sti top mount, personally I'd fit it with the correct scoop and undertray just to be on the safe side, particularly if you plan to give it some beans (as in proper track shaped ones).

Fuel pump wise a Walbro should suffice well it's still working in mine at 440!

Take a look at my thread or c.js for that matter to see a bugeye project.
