220kw atw is achievable if planned and done correctly (especially on the tuning side of things)

Thanks, i'll message him. Great to hear that 220kw atw is achievable, I'm planning on getting it tuned at Gotitrex, heard very good things about them.

Trying to hit an imaginary figure will likely end in disappointment.
You’re better off prepping the car for a tune, as best you can and then tuning it safely, as opposed to hoping your assemblage will be pushed to some expectation.
Dynos read high and low depending where you go.
A dw65c or maybe dw300 will support some extra power, or the Kobe Motorsport equivalent.
You might reach over 200wkw with e85.
Iirc looking for over 200wkw injectors, eg id1050x are a good idea.
Personally with the stock box and injectors I’d say you’d be safe at just under 200wkw.
More importantly are you already understanding the importance of logging and LV for your car before during and after the tuning process?
Is the car running 100% fine right now?
If not getting started with Btssm or Romraider can help with diagnostics and monitoring health.

The stock lgt ts headers are good for 250wkw according to sources here.

Before going down the power road get your hands on a later model 6 speed and R180 diff. The Spec B Liberty one is good a GD Impreza STi one is better. The earlier ones without DCCD would be the best bet for a street driven car.
Once that is sorted making north of 200 reliably isn't just going to be a case of a few bolt on parts. Sure it can be done and I'm in no way trying to discourage you from your goal but you're going to need to go deeper to keep it all together. Things like an upgraded oiling, the pickup especially as they are known to crack, fuel, yes your injectors, and cooling will help keep it running and not becoming a time bomb. EJs have problems with ring lands cracking so keeping it well oiled, fuelled, and cooled is just as important as a good tune to prevent it running hot and leaning out. The 2.0 is arguably a better place to start than the 2.5 but it still needs money spent in the right places to make it run reliably.
