Any ECU experts who can help...
will an ECU model U8, 240 BHP form a 93WRX 4 door swap with the my current 220 BHP ECU on my 95WRX 5 door. Please let me know if this is possible and simple.

Thanks Mr Jolly...how much is the scoobyecu and what does it do?
The 240 PS WRX jobbie is only a few quid so if it's just a question of swapping it over then I'll have a go. Anyone else made this mod to their 5 door?

Was £60 when I bought mine..

I think the ECU's you speak of should interchange..

if they have the same plugs on then they should be fine.. but I am no expert... just an assumption.

If both cars use the same turbo then you should be OK, check that the WRX wagon has a TD05 turbo, since it has been known for some wagons to have a TD04. I believe all 4 door pre 97 WRX's had the TD05.
