Could anyone quickly tell me if it's possible to determine whether an 04 sti has PPP from a physical inspection?

any info extremely gratefully received, local dealer doesn't know

thanks

For starters the back box will be stamped Prodive accross the top.
For confirmation phone prodrive with the chassis number.

There should be a certificate of installation with the cars documents if it is fitted, if the dealer is a subaru dealer then he would know one way or the other,

 

Not 100% proof as owners may have done this themselves, but as well as a Prodrive backbox, there will be a blue Prodrive turbo hose visible under the intercooler and if you can get to the ecu, it will have a Prodrive sticker on it.

 

What a helpful place this is! cheers guys, plain sti back box so no ppp but rather nice anyway, rather tempted to come back to subaru world...

 

No hose on the STI, only the WRX.

 

Yes Martin, 2 quick checks, firstly the rear silencer on the exhuast will have 'Prodrive' written on it, secondly, lift the bonnet, then look just below the turbo at the downpipe and you should see a fat prodrive sports cat!

Sorry, you are right urban. I'll get my orthopaedic shoes on (stand corrected!)

 

why does my sti8 have a red hose then and not a blue one and yes it has the ppp on it as i have the certificate and it has the huge cat and yes it has the exhaust.

 

Assuming it had a previous owner, maybe they put it different hoses on?
