    i want to stick with my stock turbo because i dont want to have to deal with the lag and i still wanna hit up some dirt roads and some rallyx's. i have new injectors and fuel pump/ rails that i might keep. I'm going to get it protuned with the ap and i'm wondering how much more power i could put through it with the new ijectors if i ever decide to upgrade. thanks

    Expect about 290 WHP and ~320 WTQ on a protuned Stage 2 STi. A stock STi will get about 215 WHP stock.

    I am planning on getting it protuned when my ap comes and i will be putting on my new top mount and up pipe as well as throwing in step colder NGK's. After that i will pretty much be running out of fuel so if i upgrade injectors/pump/rails, how much powa do u think it could take?

    Aftermarket up-pipe + STI = Pointless.
    You guys got a catless up-pipe stock. aftermarket up pipe is a waste of a little bit of money and a whole lot of effort IMHO.

    'Cuz there's a whopping 0.1 HP difference between the stock one and an aftermarket one.

    Its basically the only way you're going to see north of 300whp out of the stock turbo. I have seen dyno proven 30whp gains from methanol injection on an STi running a stock turbo.
