Get a scoobyecu, http://www.scoobyecu.co.uk/ cost about £60. It will have a map to suit uk fuel but it will also give you more boost.

Cheers David, I know your a busy man and I felt a bit guilty for constantly asking before when I realised you were doing it as a favour to fellow scooby owners . From what ive heard its well worth the wait

Thanks
Paul

That's interesting, Paul.

I have one of David's boards in my auto 94 WRX Wagon, which has a V5 ECU.

What model ECU do you have in yours?

No idea, I'm afraid. Would I be able to tell by having a look at the board?

The car seems to be fine, though. Peak boost is 1.1 bar and it will hold 1 bar with no nasty lights on the Knocklink. That was with the catted downpipe in place. Had that removed at the weekend, but as its been so hot recently, I haven't really pushed the car to see whether those values have changed.

The labels on the chips might give a clue, but I expect David's labelling code is different to mine. 1.1BAR sounds about right tho' for the map I think may be in there.

I assume it's a Saloon and not a WRX Wagon ??

It is a WRX Wagon, though.

No,

It's just that myself and David have had a few problems with a map that was used on a couple of Wagons.
We were led to beleive it was the map, but as yours seems O.K I am begginning to think it may of been a faulty device/chip.

I've mailed David to see if he canconfirm the map you are running.

There seems to be a few maps about that we created between us.
Had a bit of success today with a new one that should be a bit better... I just need a bit more of a tweak to get a final cut.
