Is 175 road hp unrealistic?
I'm just wondering, how much power am I ever going to get from my 12V. With all the correct mods out there, is there a number people have decided on?

Yes.
What kind of Dyno is it? If it's a dyno dynamics AWD dyno then you should be happy to see 130 whp.

That's my pull two years ago with a stock 90. Never got to figure out why it's all spikey. They said CV joints cause that sometimes, and my fronts were clicking at the time of the pull. If you're running perfectly and you're stock, I suspect the most you'll see is 130... probably not even that considering stock WRXs run about 135 on that dyno.

More than that. Probably 30%. Maybe 35% if you have an auto.
AND... the dyno is usually a pig, so it's even worse. All they're good for is comparisons. You can see what percentage of power you gained from mods with a before/after pull.
