Not to be an Ass but your tuner has shits for brains. Stock wrx already has about 170WHP, stage 2 will put it in the 220WHP range. Upgrading the turbo especially with an EVO III 16G will make it 280WHP+ (270WHP is the lowest I've seen on a low reading dyno, conservative tune) But it all relatively comes down to the tune and how psi your pushing. 18G is capable 300WHP+ easily.
