Default WRX PPP - Anyone Unhappy ???

I've had many helpful positive comments .... but -

Just out of interest, has anyone actually bought the PPP and not been happy with it ? I don't mean the cost but the actual change in performance it gives .....

I think very few are unhappy mate, it's just that increasing the power of the car is a slipery slope: you'll always want more. Since its a generic map, results can vary between cars, but the upshot is that since it was developed by Prodrive you can sleep easy.

At the end of the day, if you want to keep your warranty, it has to be PPP, Case closed!

The 2 I refered to were both 03's. Steve's went off cam at 5k and was out of fuelling soon after (IIRC what he said ) whereas Dazza's pulled like a train, oblitterating almost anything he came up against. Steve had the TSL 333 fitted and it cured his problems. I on the other hand have an 03 WRX PPP, and I have no trouble keeping up with STi's (eh, Cheesy ) or pretty much anything else, so I guess mine is a good one
