You need a knocklink, dont go for the FMIC, too much hassle and with that sort of power you dont need one, go for an STi TMIC, plus then look at your clutch (what model car do you have?) as anything less than a new age STi will not have one that will stand up to 340lbs of torque, then there is the gearbox question.......

my 99 uk Ive got the front mount very cheap and will be able to fit it myself[] They look dam good too[] It needs a new clutch aswell its juddering when cold thats being upgraded in the next month or two[] This car is costing me a fortune[] Ill be happy when its done[][][][]
You can have the ECU mapped with these mods, just dont drive the car hard when you have them fitted, and ensure you have it booked in to be mapped soonest after your parts have been fitted, its not recommended to run with a bigger turbo/FMIC etc on a map for a smaller turbo/TMIC, though you will notice greater lag with the FMIC due to the distance between the turbo and the intercooler, hence the reason i said you dont need the FMIC, just a TMIC, reduced lag.

Cheers tony[] What ecu/mapping would you recomend with these mods? Can prosport sort this out for me when all fitted?
You can use the standard ECU and have a custom map on an MY99, Richard Bulmer (Ex Toyota WRC mapper) does the mapping at Prosport, As Triple X says, id give them a call and see what they can do. Tony
A big thanks for that tony[] Prosport should be open again when ive finished with the mods[] Should i bother with the injectors/fuel pump upgrade?
Fuel pump is worth changing IMO and your injectors (440s?) should be good for <i>around</i> 340 bhp if you get an adjustable fuel reg such as SX so you can get a little more from them by upping the pressure.

<font color="blue">Don´t think Ste will be on 440´s[?] and even they would be on the edge at those figures. Definately need the fuel pump upgrade and maybe an adjustable pressure reg. KnockLink compulsory in my book. If your going that far I´d get a new ECU mapped too.[]</font id="blue">
