Smile First WRX Pretty Impressive :)

Bought my First wrx last week. 2000 gc8 130,000kms FSH with light modifications.
Paid a little to much but out of the 8 late model gc8 i seen is the cleanest for sale at the time.
250hp at 0.98bar
hoping to give her a reliable 300hp over time and do my little bit on the forum
until she breaks then crack her open for some serious mods which should be in a couple of years

I still have a love of the GC8's with their lightness. You will enjoy it I am sure. Welcome aboard.

No chance you are pushing out 250hp at the wheels in a GC8 with less than 1 bar.
Might want to check your boost levels again? Depending on the turbo etc my guess is approx 20-21 PSI

Got a dyno/ mod list and some nice pictures of the beast?

Ps: welcome. Much <3 for the GC8s

Cheers guys...
on the dyno print out is says 14psi max 249.6hp so i assumed that was at the wheels but on the power fc it goes up to 1.36bar which would be 19.72psi.

Mods list:
Power FC
Hyperflow TMIC
V34
Blitz SSBC
HKS Super Power Flow air intake
3" Exhaust
Bosch 044 Fuel Pump
DBA Slotted Rotors
Whiteline Swaybars

Will take some pictures of dyno and car once i clean her

Some good mods there. Take it down to Allstar or Evolution R and get some power runs done on the hub dyno

Sounds about right now. My mods are pretty similar and I have 233hp at the hubs with only 17psi on the ASG hub dyno
