Default wrx sti 2015 tuning

I realise with it being fairly new, there will be few examples as yet.
Although, I recently went to see the new wrx sti and was wondering what tuning options are available. I've found very little via the internet although I've been lead to believe that because the engine is the same as the older 2.5ltr, a lot of the existing mods can be applied?

Have I got this wrong?
I've been after some definitive clarification whether it is the ej257 in the new scooby?
Obviously mods will void the 3yr warranty but I was specifically thinking smaller ones that could be easily removed initially to help restore some of the classic scooby rumble?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies, I got the impression they were for the slightly earlier models prior 2014/2015?

Yeh, I stumbled across this the other day.
They send the ecu back to subaru, re-flash it for an extra 40bhp.
I've also heard rumours that mangoletsi do this as standard?
Typical cost £1600?

I must say though, if you can get that much extra safely from a stock setup, why isn't it standard on all cars?

Typicly they just throw fuel at it to compensate for extra boost. Best route would def be a custom map

Ok, so just been into 2 different dealers.
One dealer no mention of the subaru map/flash.
The other was questioned about it and reckoned it was a load of rubbish, and that subaru have written to dealers offering it saying warranties will not be honoured.

2 more dealer visits tomorrow and see what they have to say. :\

Our ECU re-maps are not done by Subaru, all ours are setup individually for the car on a rolling road, prices start at £1,000.

Subaru UK will not honour the warranty on a modified car, that is confirmed on their website, and they have written to everyone who has purchased one confirming that.
