Default ECU help

Hello people I was just wondering if anyone knows what the best ECU is to upgrade to! I have a 1995 jdm type ra!

Can you use any type or can you chop and change!

I took a trip up to jap performance parts and they have a few ecu for various imprezas. Can you map a standard? Is there a favourable ECU to go for?

Just looking for a wide range of ideas from everyone! So i can make the right decision!

Thank you for your input

Why no more than 15psi?

This guy does all or nearly all the ecus for subarus and has a very good reputation

not sure if you can get 350bhp from 1 bar boost though.
although depending on what ecu you get some do have the ability for dual maps (simtek is one of them) so you can a mans map and a womans map

I like the idea of that! Looking a over a grand for that though, I guess?

I wasnt talking about hitting 350 straight away!! Should explain my intetions a bit better!
I would hope for 340-350 eventually! Building up to that.Then maybe a rebuild!
Im trying to expand my knowledge of scoobs. I wouldnt mind spending a few grand in a year or so on a new age sti!! Im just interested in the ins and outs of the cars!
