Default Identifying ECU on WRX Prodrive Bugeye

I have recently acquired a 2003 GDA Model 80 Bugeye. It is claimed to be a Prodrive spec. WRX but I would like confirmation so that I know what bhp the car is currently running before I start any mods.

I understand the ECU is remapped to give this power so is there any way I can identify if it has the Prodrive upgrade?

The ECU has the following on its label:
V3
22611AF531
112000-7555
Secondly, Is this ECU suitable for opensource mapping? I'm looking for about the 300-330bhp mark.

Many thanks in advacne.

Prodrive ones usually have a gold sticker on the ECU and the drivers door opening near the door latch stating you need to inform the insurance company as the power has been upped

Hmmm, no gold stickers that I know of, will double check over the weekend.

It won't see the public road again as a daily commuter so no normal insurance required. Competiton insurance will cover it on mutli venue rallies.

Thanks

I'll get you a pic when I get in to show you what it looks like

It's a standard ECU anyway with just a prodrive map on and not a great one either if I'm honest, Far better gains to be had by remapping to suit you're needs.
