can you tek 3 a 2003 sti ppp?? what sort of figures are you looking at after the map, and is it worth it?? i have a full de-cat blitz exhaust.

Sell the ECU for a standard one, and get that mapped instead. No point wasting a PPP ECU

It's what I did.

surely thats taking away 40bhp straight away? what sort of figures are you looking at after mapping on the standard ecu?

TSL quote there remap on a 2003 model at 330/330 with the right supporting mods

Mapping a standard ecu is no different than starting with a ppp one, they do away with the original map anyway, so the point is, you're throwing away a ppp ecu if you have it remapped, might aswell start with a standard one!!

marcyt21

is the ppp just a piggyback chip you can remove, or do you need to get a new standard chip

i thought the PPP ECU was the standard ECU remap'ed.... or so my dealer told me.

the ppp is actually an sti ecu, thats then mapped for the uk cars, so if you're intending on getting a tek3 or similar, the best route is to seel it to someone with a standard ecu they can let you have in px!

Can you just swap the ECU's or do you need to reprogram keys etc ?

RON

straight swap!!
edited to add, straight swap on my99's and 00's, not sure about earlier or later ones!!

It varies. Up until the first half of 2002 the ppp was a unichip piggy back solder in modded job. After this, not sure of the exact date, the ppp was an ecutek remap of the standard ECU.
