I'm no expert but won't you need bigger injectors and uprated intercooler too? I was also advised to change the intercooler hoses and spark plugs prior to remapping, mine made 287BHP and has a Prodrive cat fitted.

Yes....An 18G with the standard 380cc injectors is pointless because they will limit the car to around 300bhp.

Bigger Injectors, intercooler,fuel pump and the 18g could see 360ish.

340 - 370 bhp As above 550cc injectors, uprated fuel pump and intercooler is a must

You definitely need the Walbro fuel pump and Sti pink injectors. Your standard injectors are already pretty much maxed out. Intercooler should be alright to around 350bhp. Intercooler hoses would also be a good idea.

Intercooler will be ok up to 400bhp


Bigger one will give you better cooling though

I run a bugeye on around 400 odd BHP with a Deadbolt / Andyforrest TD05 18G with a few mods .. I broke two 5 speed WRX gearboxes. LOL

I'd take a bit of time and chose your mapper first and take it from there....

You sould get to 300bhp with another remap on your current mods (fit an uprated fuel pump too), your injectors will be at their limits by then so 505cc or 550's would be a good upgrade, your intercooler would be the next restriction at around 330bhp, my advice would be get the bits together, fuel pump/ cooler plugs/ version 8 tmic/ injectors/ and a de-cat up-pipe, put them all on and get Andy F to map it (other mappers are available) then you'll be getting the most out of the 18g = circa 360bhp
