The BIG Question.
I would like to get some inputs for 1 final result:
---> 300 whp <---
The peformance stuff i have now is as follows:
-Injen CAI
-Helix Up Pipe
-Helix Down Pipe
-HKS SSQV
-HKS Carbon Ti Catback
Parts I am considering and need advise here:
-Some more efficient Intercooler, TM or FM? Greddy? Blitz? XS? ??
-Walbro Fuel Pump and STI Injectors
-Ground System: HKS? Apexi?
-Gruppe-S Header?
-Some ECU Hardware: Apexi Power FC? Ecutek? Cobb? Piggybacks?
-Exedy Organic Clutch and Flywheel?
-Cusco Engine / Trans mounts?
-Radiator Shroud?
-STI Pitch Stop?
Are the above right moves? If not what's better? I know this is a BIG question but would really appreciate if I can get some pointers.
Thankyou.

Bigger top mount, vf34,injectors,fuel pump, and a good tune. This should get you close. maybe 280-290. Also silicone intercooler hoses and turbo inlet hose. Lighter flywheel(11lb) ihave heard that 9lb is too light. As for the front mount you could do it but it's not a neccesity. A lot of trouble if you ask me but it looks sweet. The Perrin unit looks nice and they give you the jdm bumper beam so you don't have to cut yours. Trans, and engine mounts are a good idea even with little hp. Headers can be good too but i have heard of issues with headers. You need to find a good tuner and tell them you want 300whp. They can tell you how much it will cost and any supporting mods(drivetrain, etc...). I see you are in LA. Try Vishnu. It is very evident when you search that they are good. Ask around and give it a shot. Good luck it'll be a screamer.

I agree with the top mount idea. A FMIC seems to take away some of the soul of the WRX. Besides, who wants a nonfunctional hood scoop? *cough*mustang*cough*
-Walbro Fuel Pump and STI Injectors
This is almost a must-have. Good way to go.
-Ground System: HKS? Apexi?
Not needed, really. And you can do it yourself for cheap if you really want this.
-Gruppe-S Header?
Not really needed, but may be a good idea. If you get this you should get it coated to help with spool-up.
-Some ECU Hardware: Apexi Power FC? Ecutek? Cobb? Piggybacks?
This is an absolute must-have. The easiest way to go is Cobb (stage 2.5 should get you close) but Ecutek is a great way to go.
-Exedy Organic Clutch and Flywheel?
You don't technically need this for 300whp, but you will burn out the stock clutch eventually. The Exedy Hyper Single clutch is a good flywheel/clutch combo for the WRX.
-Cusco Engine / Trans mounts?
Not needed.
-Radiator Shroud?
Not needed.
-STI Pitch Stop?
Not needed.
You will absolutely need a bigger turbo.
