Default Open source remap a PPP'd car ?

Hi all, can a PPP'd ECU be remapped via open source ? Want to get back into Subaru ownership but need to be able to remap it and not sure if PPP means it's no able to take a open source based map.

Quote from Paul at Zen Performance in answer to a similar question...
"Not all opensource software will be able to flash it, but it's certainly possible"

with a soldering iron and a little time then you can remove the early PPP/gems type boards and then its a standard Denos ecu.

Ppp was only a gems unit on the early bug.

Sell the ppp and take a standard ecu in exchange. Just needs the keys recoding.

Thanks for the replies. I should have been more specidic, if I get another Subaru it would be a 2006 onwards car, so can the PPP be flashed over using open source ?
