For those among you that are waiting for ppp you may be interested to know what a difference it makes to a standard wrx thats allready been run in.
Those UK300 boys can't tell you because the jammy gits have got ppp from the start
they've not put up with sluggish midrange, hesitation at 6,000rpm and a feeling that there isn't the oomph there should be! 
well i have for 5 flipping months
but.....
all is about to change!
I'll post my comparrison of std V ppp very, very soon.

Tiggs,
From one of your previous posts i guess you are having it done next week at the same time as the Eibach springs, very interested to have more info on both mods, how DID you manage to get your PPP so early?????

mezzer,
as your cars always weighed down with so much dirt (ever heard of a sponge) i doubt it would be a fair comparisson.
bobafett,
insurance- i expect so but mine and mezzers cars are insured by our firm so i've no idea by how much.
cost- £1600
Getting- an ecu, intercooler thingy??, de-catted mid section and backbox, but i ain't no expert so check elsewhere for the exact details (there's no shortage of threads!)
Dave,
"a couple of weeks" - i'll be waiting for you then

The kit must be filtering through as Nobles (Edinburgh) fitted 4/5 PPP kits to WRX's last week and were also fitting one to a UK300 while I was there today.
It won't be long.
However does anybody know if this upgrade is likely to be transferable to future imprezas, if for argument sake you change car in 3 years time will you have to repurchase the kit or will the old one just bolt on.

I doubt you will be able to transfer the kit. An MY00 kit wont fit an MY01 and the engines arent that much different on paper (bhp wise although conponents have ie intercooler is bigger on the MY01 but has a more restrictive exhaust). You wont get a great deal back on the kit when you sell the car, as mods are worht very little secondhand. The only real way to get any money back on it is to have the kit removed and then sell it secondhand for a UK MY01 which hasnt been PPP.
cheers

The way I understand it, removing the PPP from a MY01 will not be as easy as with pre 01 models. I believe that with MY00 and earlier you kept the old ECU so it could be refitted in the future, I am told by my dealer that with the MY01 PPP you do not get to keep the ECU so have nothing to refit in the future.
Can anyone with a PPP'ed UK300 or MY01 (if any have been done yet) care to confirm this?

The MY00 and prior PPP used a completely new ECU that was sourced from Japan.
The MY01 PPP reuses the existing ECU casing with new boards (a Unichip piggyback it is rumoured?) etc inside. This is the main reason the MY01 PPP is cheaper than the previous one.
You could possibly take the guts out of the modified ECU and put it back to a standard one, depending on what has been done.
I have got this information from an official source....
Best bet is not to worry about what will happen in three years time but fit it and enjoy it now.

You will probably be able to move a Link (for example) from one MY01 to another. Best ask Bob Rawle though:
bob.rawle@btinternet.com
Biggest advantage of the Link is that it is mapped to your individual car. The PPP comes to a fixed spec for a standard car and that is it.
A PPP UK300 with Scoobysport d/p has been seen to boost to the very limits of the PPP map, it isn't designed to work with it, and is exactly what Prodrive are concerned with.
Each Link is mapped to your individual car, so if you have a full decat system it will be mapped to take this into account. Bob maps his cars so they do not detonate, but KnockLink should also be fitted so any hint of det is picked up.

Dave,
I've heard a rumour that if you change the up-pipe it reduces knock by about 3 degrees, so a ppp car with dp & up-pipe would give less knock,and would be very quick

That's an interesting rumour - by strange coincidence I heard an almost identical one only this very week mate (and if H&S haven't made our up-pipes this week so they can be fitted with my AP 6 pots next Saturday I shall go round and kick their collective *****.....)

BTW I'm hoping to get into the 4's to shut up those anti-01 people
Our cars would be nice to compare once you get your Link

Phil,
1. Yes PPP ordered.
2. No, no deposit paid.
3. Yeah right, the Subaru pigs are flying high. No date yet.
4. Tileys of Bristol.
I have also had the Full ScoobySport system fitted but after reading some of the comments regarding PPP and DeCat systems together, have decided to take off the ScoobySport and try just PPP.

My dealer has strict instructions from IM
That there are to be NO modifications to the standard car or they will not be allowed to to fit PPP
any deviation will be punished by death (or similar)
