Arrow Adam's 2001 WRX upgrade

I know the forum has a search and trust me I've used it.

I’ve just got this WRX a few days ago and it is fantastic!
However its down on power compared to my father in-laws. (Exact same year/car with boost override + CAI)

It’s a project and I'll kick off by listing what it has currently got and what I was thinking of getting.

Current Mods

1. Clutch Organic H/Duty 5spd from RMS
2. Flywheel Chrome Moly 5spd from RMS
3. K&N POD Filter + Heat shield
4. DBA 650 slotted Rotors on the Front from RMS
5. Pedders Sports Ryder Suspension
6. 3" Exhaust System* (think its CAT back not Dump back)?? It’s not OVER the top loud so I’d love to keep it how it is.


What I'm thinking about getting


1. Dual stage Electric boost control unit (What is stock boost on a 2001 WRX?) 15 Psi I read on one page, Seems high!
2. Pillar gauges x 2 (Boost + oil temp maybe?)
3. Base level retune of the standard ECU using EcuTeK Type 1 base map
4. Maybe STI Turbo or other turbo for higher boost without changing Intercooler?
5. Better air intake? CAI??


Like I said, I've used the search but I enjoy user opinions and discussion so it’s going in the mechanical section.

* I was looking at getting all work done at RMS but will consider others.



Cheers!!
