Default Does anyone supply an aftermarket ECU for twin turbos?

I'm just about to proceed with an engine rebuild for my 97 RS legacy. (Forged pistons/conrods etc.)

However, the tuners are having difficulty sourcing an after-market ECU to control the twin turbo arrangement. This will mean converting to a single turbo and an impreza ECU.

I'm by no means saying i don't trust the tuners, (they are reputable) but I'm not sure about going down this route as the RS sits at 280 bhp as is. Getting more power will obviously mean lots more cash.

Is the single turbo the way to go or is it a backwards step?

Does anyone here know of a supplier of this ECU or an alternative, or should i defer to the tuners better judgment?

Just looking for a second opinion!!

I suggest you speak to Bob Rawle of BRD who I believe has experience of the B4 twin turbo.

Thanks guys, wont be needing this. I've decided that it will be better in the long run to convert to single turbo.

Expect some spare parts for sale.

Big thanks to Gavin at Tracktive Solutions for friendly advice.

I've just had the car delivered today to Area52 in Nottingham (formerly scoobymania)
They will start it's transformation on monday.

I cant wait!!
