uprated fuel pump..hks headers..hks induction kit..forge dump valve..full magnex exhaust with no cats..hks ecu and re-map and yes, that's it. It made 400 at the fly wheel, 300 at the wheels and 375 torque. This is a 2005 STI which standard I think only has 285 bhp. The only way to get more power now is a slightly bigger turbo, better airflow meter as mine was max'd out and a front mount intercooler, said i should see easily 450. Thinking of getting that done but don't really want to burn the candles at both ends. Abbey motorsport is something else, they only normaly specialise in skyline's. I went out in a R34 with 750 bhp, man that wa something else! it made me feel sick. them guys sure know their ****! So yes, it is possible to get 400 bhp out of your scooby (will update on next mods)

So have you changed the turbo yet or are you still running the standard unmodified vf35?

300 at the hubs sounds possible as most of the losses are at the tyre/roller interface on conventional rollers. Usually closer to 10% losses on a hub dyno making it a more believable 330 flywheel bhp.

Abbey motorsport were recommended to me as they are tuning up skylines up to 1200 bhp. trust me, they know their **** and they have won 5 years in a row for having the fastest skyline so don't think their dyno would be out, maybe you should give them a call and let them play with your scooby
I think you may have been had by abbey as their dyno seems very inaccurate and considering ive run my car on the same rolling road type (2 different rolling roads) and the figures have all been very similar (within a couple of bhp) thats more accurate

You have heard from one guy who runs one of the quickest impreza's in the UK (if not europe) and he tunes that himself, then you have one of the best mappers out there who also has had a few tuned impreza's, id personally listen to Bob and Andy if I were you

I made 351bhp with VF35 turbo, but only with the addition of FMIC, plus Harvey's stage 2 headers and up-pipe, plus custom 3" exhaust and sports cat, plus wing-mounted induction kit, plus uprated fuel pump plus Andy F's magic ( 
) mapping. That's about as far as you can take it on a VF35 - listen to the experts on here (Andy F, Bob R etc) and learn
