Is this package good enough for 340hp?
I just dynoed my car at 275 hp / 306 lb-ft at the wheel using 94 gas:
3-in RS-R downpipe with cat delete
3-in Helix catback
Buschur MBC @ 20.5psi
A'PEXi power intake
Dynoflash
Depending on which dyno machine you use, you may be able to see 260-280hp. That's about 340-360 at the crank.

348 Whp... HKS downpipe, Custom test pipe, HKS Hi-Power cat-back, Buschur Racing intake Fliter, Greddy Profec-b, Apexi-AFC, HKS 272/272 cams, unorthodox camgears -3/-3, hard upper intercooler pipe, 21psi.. 12/1 AFR... Stock pump, stock injectors, 93 oct... And hot as hell outside... Very simple guys... No leaning out, multiple runs... Enjoy..

Thanks for inputs! But can anyone tell me why a MBC is needed if all I need is 20.3 psi of boost which is also the stock boost pressure? From what I've read here, i think the concensus is not to run higher than 20.5 psi with 91 octane. So, what's the logic behind getting a MBC?
Yes, I know the FQ340 is not that "strongest" in the world, but from what I've read from the Topgear review, they said its already on the edge of "durability" and "drivability". I use my car as my daily driver and didn't want to turn it into drag monster. And I don't want too much power to upset or overpower the chasis, suspension and braking system.
I've placed the order for the followings last week already:
1. HKS Racing Suction Intake (installed)
2. HKS Carbon Ti Cat Back Exhaust (installed)
3. RMR 3" downpipe
4. RMR one piece lower arm brace (to clear the downpipe)
5. UR Hi Flow Cat (is this a real cat or just a testpipe? From picture, it looks like a real cat)
6. RVM 3" intercooler Hardpipe kit (couldn't find the HKS version)
7. Hallman ES MBC (should I even bother to install it?)
8. Walbro 255 fuel pump
9. Dynoflash (Can I send out my ecu before installing all the parts?)
Thanks again for any inputs

The 03-04 is 19 PSI. And isn't the boost tapering is controlled by the ECU? So, the flash can eliminate the tapering?
