2002 Impreza WRX PPP Wagon Upgrades?
Discussion
A good option would be to do do a Ecotec remap on your car for about £650.00+vat and couple that to a decat pipe for £120.00 that would give you approx 30-40bhp at different points in the rev range. Also you could fit an exhuast manifold. We have tried many different types and makes of manifold over the years, and found that the magnex one to be the best. These we can do for £400 fitted inc any VAT.
Hope this can give you some ideas

At 260bhp i wouldn't really bother with a full remap using powerFC or similar.
If you've got the mods like exhaust and induction sorted, i'd go down the boost and fuelling line.
have you still got the cars cats in? if so maybe whip them out and free up some flow.
SAFC II to sort the fuelling, AVC-R to control the boost, and get them setup properly by someone who knows what they're doing (APT in kings lynn are fantastic at setting this stuff up).
That should see a healthy increase in power, and more importantly power delivery.
Might be worth going a colder grade of plugs too, i'm not 100% sure on that as i've no idea what plugs they'd be running as standard. but it won't hurt to drop a stage colder anyway.
Are you running a top mount intercooler still? If so i'd spend the change on getting a front mount sorted, loads of them can be had for reasonable money, no need to pay for the thousand quid HKS jobbies when you can get them for less than half the price if you look around.
that'd make a substantial difference to the cars performance.
how far are you planning on taking the car in the future power wise? if you're not going too daft then i can't see a reason why the above won't be more than ample for your requirements, you'll be amazed at the difference it makes too.
How much you shell out in labour is down to how good with a spanner you are, AVCR's and SAFC's are a doddle to fit, never done a FMIC on a scoob but i'm sure it's not that hard. so if you're decent on the spanners, or adventurous, do some fitting yourself and save a chunk of cash i say
As for the Ecotec remap - is that 650 quid buying you a full standalone ecu or just a remapped standard one? Custom map for each car or just a generic map?
