ECU help please
I have a Impreza 97my UK spec 2000 turbo which has the immobiliser chip in the key and in the ecu and was wondering what could be done to it without having to get a daughter borad or an Apexi etc. With the ecu I have been told that I could get another one off of a better spec i.e v4 sti or such like and have the immobiliser bypassed by changing over 4 wires. That way I can also change the turbo from a TD04L to a TD05H and also fit a bigger intercooler and run 440 inj with out to much hassle. Maybe somthing like this

I have a 8S ecu
How true is this and would it be advisable to do so, The car is a daily runner and isn't really thrashed around too much as its a family car
Also what would mine be classed as does it come under the classic for some of the parts
cheers guys and girls

You car is a classic V3 mate (maybe a V4). If I was you and you are looking for more power get yourself a new ecu with a std bass-map on it you can run with. Then get all the other bits together that you want to put on the car. Bolt them all on in one hit and then go get it mapped all at the same time. You can get most of the parts you are after for not a lot of cash, the biggest coast as im sure you know is in the ECU and the map. Unfortunately you are in the same boat as me and have one of the cars with the crap 3 plug ecu which are rare as rocking horse poo and cost loads more than others... Saying that there are always one or two "3 plugs" on here and ebay though.
