your car would go from 160kw to around 200kws (both flywheel figures)

Excellent gains for very little spend. : )

With a tune, 3" exhaust you should nett 160-170kW.

(I'm not questioning you, I know very little about WRX's)
Serious - 40-50KW ATW gain from zorst and tune? Haven't heard of any car gaining that much power from exhaust and tune before.

Thats definitely some good bang for your buck.

So whats the next step after CAI, Zorst and tune in terms of bettering engine performance?
It seems that from this point on its get 'bigger everything' or dont bother...

You can upgrade your turbo without many other mods, (except a retune) and increase it again another 30-40kw atw.

After that, you probably want to start looking at strengthening your gearbox and forged engine internals, but thats when the big bucks come out and you wish you had bought an STi
