Hi all,

i have a 2001 Bugeye WRX.

It previously had the PPP retrofitted, and then removed before sale bar the ECU.


Ive been searching away, but havent come up with a clear answer.

The PPP changed what exactly..?

ECU, Backbox and free flow cat or decat?

And badging? Hoses? Anything else?


Thanks very much!

Mark.

To recreate PPP you'll need a backbox, decat short centre section and intercooler feed hose.
You should be able to source the lost items for IRO £300-£350.
Leaving the PPP ecu seems an odd thing to do when removing everything else. The std WRX ECU could have been sourced very cheaply.

Thats great, thanks.

What are the advantages of the hose? just to get the name somewhere?

The previous owner said it wasn't a decat, but a sports cat? Your sure on the decat? (sorry, not doubting your knowledge, just checking to be sure!)

cheers again,

Mark.

The WRX has 3 cats as standard in the up-pipe, downpipe and short section centre pipe.
The WRX PPP replaces the last of these with a decat only.
The WRX STi PPP has this decat but also a sports cat downpipe. It has no cat in its uppipe.

the hose?

Oh yes - its a blue Samco Y hose with Prodrive printed on it.
It offers less back pressure than the standard corrugated plastic hose.

Mark/WRX
