remap wrx ppp or not
i have a 2004 wrx ppp and was considering a ecutek remap at awd in perth but is it worth it and will it retain the ppp boost control and safety features etc, it boosts at 1.1 bar at the mo after getting it dynoed at 231 hp

He won't be getting 231 at the wheels from PPP
231 is low though, however there have been a number of posts recently where people are getting a poor return for their outlay (assuming it wasn't free).
ECUTEK is the way to go, however not if you want to retain your warranty.
Edit: p.s. ECUTEK will probably get you 1.2 to 1.25 bar boost, that seems to be the norm by most mappers. Some cars also need a 3 port solenoid fitted (mine didn't) and others just need the actuator modified (mine did).

My WRX 300 was spot on at PowerStation with 265.
And Trap's car runs really well after the remap as does MSP1's and Blue's previous car.
Go for it if the Warranty is not an issue.
Question: How would your normal Subaru Garage tell if it had been remapped? After some of the things you hear them missing I'm sure they wold miss this.

Will check the piggy bank !
One thing. Let's say that a 2001 WRX which pushes out 218bhp on unleaded can manage about 230bhp on Optimax (Top Gear got 14bhp with an STi).
Does this mean putting a Revolution decat centre pipe and backbox, then an Ecutek3 will only give another 35bhp ? Is that noticeable and is this about the best bang for your buck available for £1000 ?
Cheers !

alright guys it's at the flywheel and the car was on optimax tested in 4th on a brand new dyno dynmaics setup. same year wrx non ppp got 234 bhp with a magnex backbox and center section. my car runs very rich as usual subaru want nothing to do with it im not after mega power just sweet running and less of a smell of petrol out the exhaust and no bangs and flames when i change gear or back off the throttle when the exhaust is hot. will i notice a huge difference when it's remapped??
