Prodrive ECU to Ecutek Tek 2 is a waste of money ?
#1
I have an Impreza MY99 with the following modifications:
PPP
SS downpipe
SS centre pipe
SS backbox
ITG Air Panel
Wants to know if the changes Prodrive ECU to Tek 2 is a waste of money.
I have read some post in which is secured that with my modifications the TEK2 reaches the power of 270 and until the 280 hp.
But also I have seen some dynos ( only two ) where also PPP with an uprated downpipe it reaches the 270 hp.

Thanks

Don't bother changing IMHO. You might get a bit more by adding a Dawes manual boost controller or getting custom mapping (but even then I think your setup will be pretty near). However to progress things much further you will have to change the turbo. I don't think rollers are accurate enough to tell the small difference between different cars on different days - most of the decat remapped setups produce somewhere between 260 and 280 BHP at PE.

We are going way off topic, but the poor guy has done a good first post with good technical content! If you look at the sentence structure and grammar it is obvious that he has better vocabulary than a lot of native English speakers, and phrases things in a perfectly understandable way, with intelligent structure. The construction looks just like someone who does not speak English as their first language to me and would not have given it a second thought! Welcome to the board m8 anyway, suspect Danger Mouse was only joking.

Since this now seems to be about spelling ...
That might be "git" (yes, I know...)
But to answer the question... JohnB is right, don't waste your money I'd say in this case. You might not feel a difference.
That in no way is a dig at Ecutek, it just means you wouldn't feel much difference between your PPP and the standard Tek map.
So yup, turbo is next I'm afraid
PS: DM... that's about the first time I saw JB slightly upset on these forums... well done I suppose
an ignorant get

Some nice soul did a comparison with a PPP VS TEK 2.5 thus with breathing and exhaust mods similar to yours Mr Davidmartin (Ola):
50-80mph 50-80mph
PPP TEK
3rd=6s 3rd=5s
4th=7s 4th=5s
5th=10s 5th=11s
80-100mph 80-100mph
PPP Tek
4th=5s 4th=5s
5th=7s 5th=5s
Not a super accurate test but a rough guide to an improvement (although not a TEK 2 comparison). Just check this out against a PPP STI7 eh?
