Question Discreet tweaking of 07 MY WRX

I am taking a new 07 MY WRX on lease for 12 months.

I want more poke, but have to do it discreetly!

Any advice please?

Note, the car must look standard so no drainpipe exhausts, etc..

Don't you have a warranty to worry about ? How much do you want to spend if it's a lease car ?

PPP ?

Prodrive PPP is the only way, maintains the warranty.

You can up the boost to just below the stock fuel cut in a very stealthy almost undetectable manner, pm me your email addy and I can send you a 'how to', its a bit of a bodge, but effective and stealthy!

Not sure if the STi back box is better flowing than the WRX, if so plenty on the well known auction site from the guys who have gone PPP, and if you know a welder you can swop the tailpipe trims so it doens't read STi.

Remap would be undetectable unless they really poked at which point you have the original map put back on

New car/one year so PPP not on, nice though it is! Discretion needs to rule!! Once had a company SAAB 900 turbo: my boss never realised it was a 16 valve and nor that Brodie Britain Racing had taken it from 175 to 250 BHP!! He had a Porker 944 and asked to do a swop for a 2 weeks as he needed 4 seats. When he handed the car back all he said was "Goes well!" He was right about that!!

I did a swap with someone who did the same thing as you are planning. He had a decat done with STI 8 TMIC and injectors and fuel pump (but it could have been anything) and just before it was due to be returned we just parked next to each other and swapped bits including ECU (and key immobiliser chips). I paid him a reasonable amount of cash for the bits and no one ever knew - until now of course.
