Depends on the area, and the tuner. If custom tuning the ECUtek is an issue... well I know there is a good unichip map for that stuff, and on stock injectors they work great. I mean I was the first person to have a unichip on a STi and have cracked 400WHP on one.
I just think that most people here are more comfortable with the reflash, even if the unichip works just fine. |

I think it is possible, if you do all your own installation and tuning. See here:
stock STi baseline: 245whp used hks dp: +20whp $100 used fp green turbo: $950 used greddy emanage w/ harnesses: $300 used modified wrx injectors: $200 used top feed fuel rail setup: $375 used walboro fuel pump: $75 If it's tuned well that could put you at about 375-400whp on 100 octane and Maybe 350whp on 93 pump gas. A $400-500 catback exhaust is a waste of money if you are shooting for that goal with that little money since it gives you maybe 5-10whp, while just a cheap downpipe should give you twice the gain. Same thing with a $150-200 intake. Now you still should have a couple hundred more for the nessecary gauges to go with that setup, and even if you couldn't tune it yourself, it's only another $150-250 for a dyno tune with emanage. You would need a replacement clutch before you know it, and you may need new rear axles sooner than you think. |

Upgrade the SWTS Linkage
Best bang for the buck. However, a lobotomy might be more useful in this case. |

Ralph...
300 whp for that amount can be had pretty easily through the means we talked about in emails. 350whp can come your way for not much more also. Let me know if you have more questions. |

Buy all your **** used. Buy a used TBE, used downpipe, used headers, and a walbro...and you'll be at around $1,000. Then save...personally my 350whp setup cost me a pretty penny...think over double your figure...
