Default When was ECUTEK introduced on the Impreza?

Hi All

I am currently looking for a classic Impreza and I want it with the ECUTEK ECU. Looking at Powerstation's website it says MY99+ are ECUTEK. I have seen an S reg 1998 car but it has the 4 pots, latest front bumper and Subaru CAT1 alarm. Is this 1998 car a 99 model year with the ECUTEK? Help appreciated.

It's my99 on (version 5). Think the first Ecu with Ecutek was the AE801.

It is possible it could be a my99 registered on an S plate, the easiest way to tell would be to look under the bonnet, the 99/version 5 were the first model to have the dump valve mounted/bolted to the front of the intercooler.

Cheers. Any other things I can look for? e.g. chassis codes? I looked in the SIDC FAQ but that only lists codes for Jap cars.

1st was AE800, cars from Sept 1998 onwards can be mapped using the software. Thas MY99 onwards.

Apologies for my confusion. Are these AExxx codes the chassis codes or codes on the ECU i.e. Do I have to uncover the ECU to find out? Is the ECU under the passenger footwell?
