Question

I am think about trying to get a secondhand PPP for my MY00 UK turbo. Is there some way of telling if I am being offered the correctly match PPP i.e. Is there a number on the ECU which tell me which MY it is for?
Also they normally come fitted by the dealer. I believe the dealer then issues a certificate? Would my dealer be able to certify a secondhand PPP?

Thanks in anticipation,

Simon.

Why do you want PPP? There are much better options available to you IMO

You won't benefit from the PPP car's theoretically better residuals if you buy a secondhand ECU Brooks. You'll also invalidate any factory warranty remaining, and may invalidate any third party warranty.

Your dealer won't certify a secondhand PPP, and also don't forget that it's not just the ECU, the pack for the MY00 cars was, IIRC, the ECU, partial exhaust change and a Samco turbo to intercooler Y-pipe.

As Brun suggests, you'd almost certainly be better served by an alternative solution like a TeK2 or 3.
