The bugeye 2001 Denso ECU was prone to throw spurious Camshaft position sensor errors at high revs ...........if the CEL goes out after about 5 starts I'd give it a miss 
Is the car running OK ??

Might be worth contacting Slowboy Racing - he might have a spare second hand one knocking about.
Any more info on whether this can be caused by an ECU issue on 2001 cars gratefully received...

The Bugeye WRX had a few flaws in the ECU which were sorted by the time the blobeye arrived..... Camshaft / crankshaft position sensor errors, Neutral position switch problems giving misfire CEL's etc
There were also problems with re-mapped bugeye WRX's with the rev limit raised !
This never gave any running issues though and the cars behaved normally but flashed the CEL.
If the car is actually running rough then I'd have someone look at it
