Started to look into giving my 99/00 uk turbo a bit of a boost on a budget and decided to go down the prodrive ecu route so on the hunt for a used 1,what id really like to know is how much you can get out of them with associated mods and are the gains noticeable,cheers.

I have a mate who's gone down the same route
( I know you can have an ecutek remap ) but he's just purchased a prodrive ecu
And is now asking the same question as the op

That,ll be me....been told it was running at 265 bhp without any mods but not so sure myself as I've not fitted it yet

juniorc

Thought with the std mods the come with the ppp pack it was around 240/250?

Spe1973

I was advised to get an induction kit, but thinking about a bigger tmic first, I'm interested to see what replies you get mate

My old MY00 with PPP, decat downpipe and manual boost controller did 257 BHP on a Maha dyno. The gain with just the PPP was even more subtle.

Did you map it John

Not being sarcastic btw , just wondering how classics deal with fueling

Spe1973

Sorry for bumping ya thread juniorc, but did u map urs John?

john banks

No I didn't map the PPP ECU. The fuelling was similar to MY99 IIRC, boost raised by 2 PSI and a bit more timing. By the time Ecutek came out and I started tuning it I had already changed the turbo and intercooler and was playing around with fuel cut defenders and boost controllers.

On some higher reading dynos people got up to about 270-280 BHP with PPP and decat downpipe, but these would often read standard cars at 230+.

What would you recommend the best safe way forward for the 99 model running the prodrive ecu £ vs bhp ( without a remap )
