Turbo 2000 vs WRX
I've has a search but can't find much. What are the differences between a 1996 Turbo 2000 (mine) and a WRX that give the import 60ish bhp more?
Sorry for the very noob question!

I am looking at getting it mapped, my issue is that costs near enough £900 and a WRX ECU is £125.
If I'm right, I can't just remap the curretn ECU as I have an early 96, which I understand needs a new ECU fitting.

Yours can be mapped using ESL.
Have a look here www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk
There are other mappers out there. Depends on where you are in the country.

Im having the same prob but the other way arround. I was sold a uk Turbo 2000 engine and it was ment to be a WRX engine. Its running the WRX ecu so im now trying to find out what i have to do to make it run right. And for as little £££ as possible as i only brought the new engine to put in and sell the car.

So if I got an ESL daughterboard and map, would I see gains with no additional hardware (save my Prodrive rear box)?

martin, your MY96 uses the same TD05H, TMIC and 380cc injectors as the WRX counterpart. You can simply swap out your UKDM ECU for a MY93-96 JDM one. You need to swap the cam and crank sensor pin-outs around and something else (can't remember), and hey presto, your car will be producing at least c.240PS (237bhp). Use at least 97RON though.
If you're gonna do that, then why not go for a MY95/96 ECU such as a STi "Z4"... will be making around 260PS (256bhp).
I think there's also the "6K"(?) MY96 STi one which is 275PS (271bhp)... but these are rare things to come by.
Best bet is to get the PP chip for up to 280bhp (depending if decatted, etc.)... if you can find one!

So, there will now be a finite amount of second hand ones already in 4-plug ECUs, knocking about.
Expect to pay around £80 2nd hand already installed into a ECU.

Doing a bit of reading I have found this:
Am I correct in thinking that by gettign one of these, I wouldnt need it mapped again for basic mods (decatted turbo-back?) and the 'chip/ecu' would learn the mods?
The chip plugs into a spare location within the 1993 - 1996 ECU and emulates the standard ECU operation. The performance maps within this code are then modified. It unlocks greater performance with modifications made to fuel/ignition maps, boost target map, boost control map, boost limit values and speed limit values. Expected Performance increase is 30-50BHP depending on supporting modifications.

Yeah will do mate. Don’t want to break it now ive finally got it going.
Just out of interest how come the imports can run on super plus without octane booster but an English engine with Jap spec ECU cant

Ok brilliant, I will look out for one if I can.
If I can not find one soon, I have found a U8 ECU. However it appears to 'only' be from a 96 WRX, would this be the best ECU to get? (assuming I got the matching injectors if mine turn out to differ).
Also, would £150 sound a fair price?
OR would a Z4 ECU for £50 be a better option at this stage?
