Not many, if any people rate the superchip, im not sure if ecutek have brought any software out for mapping the MY97/98 cars, you could see if scoobyecu do a mod for your car though.

Personally the only place I would put chips is with fish.

On a 97-98 car you do not HAVE to touch the ECU until well down the modding path unless you want to. The standard ECU is very much underrated. I would only replace it once most of your bolt on mods are done.

Anyone who tells you that you MUST remap is talking crap.

I have a MY97 UK turbo on the standard ECU which will tear the **** out of most of these so called rechipped/remapped cars.

How does 386bhp sound?

Don't listen to the dreamers, listen to those who pull the figures.

i'm guessing the ecu on a uk car and import are totaly different but would this also be the case for my MY98 wrx?
