Default 97 wrx standard kilowatts

hey guy's just wondering what the standard kilowatts for a 97 wrx would be and and how much you could bump it up to with no mods safely.

How can you add Horsepower without doing anything?

Oh, put a bleed valve on it and run more boost. Without running any more fuel to compensate for the additional air being rammed in you will run lean and dramatically increase the chance of causing engine failure.

So the answer to this is, you need mods to increase power safely.

You will need a power fc/vipec/whatever and a fuel pump at a minimum.

If you are running those massive heavy looking wheels in your avatar you could probably add 10kw at the wheels by going back to stock rims.

Manual Boost controller, could easily get like 350hp or something with that
With a aftermarket BOV you might squeeze 400!
