The P1 throttlebody is esentially the same as the 99/00 WRX or UK turbo variant - IIRC the WRX/UK turbo item has a second cable drive on the spindle, for cruise control to be fitted
Just port your current one and knife-edge the butterfly plate to make a (slight) improvement

You buy a standard E3 ecu for about 50 quid put it in the car and remap that, then sell the ppp for about £200-£300 and put that towards the remap!!!!

What age is your uk turbo first to see if it can be mapped.
I would'nt go advertising a classic pppecu for £200-£300 as you'll still have it this time next year, Ive just seen a simtek for v1+2 go for £500...

You've got a rare ecu there, that always seem to produce more power than what stated (237bhp & 258ft/lb) when i put one on my standard RB5 it produced 261 bhp and 260ft/lb and a fair few others have said the same on the RB5oc. There still sought after and people still want these, so follow my advice above and sell it then put the cash towards a ecutek remamp on a standard E3 ecu!
Do a search on here and you will see that there has always been the debate on whether or not it is safe to run a decat without a remap, but end of the day it's upto you!!!

There is a chance of the engine running lean and going pop,but then there's been people running a decat without a map for years and no probs, but have a read up yourself then make your mind up!

These do det, i know because I have seen it do it (i use to own a PPP'd MY00 turbo in sonic blue ) and she was always run on super unleaded fuel.
It will be worse in cold weather btw, det will eventually cause engine failure, I "fixed" mine as soon as I saw her detting on the knocklink by drilling the restrictor pill out (but your going to need a knocklink/ks3 to monitor if you get any more det, or remap the car).

I was in the same situation earlier in the year,my MY2000 had a prodrive ecu fitted along with Y pipe & backbox.I simply sold ecu for £300 to a guy in the czech republic ,£85 for the backbox & £30 for y pipe and put the money to having a remap.You can as said above also buy a E3/Y7 ecu off ebay for £40 - £50 if you ever decide to take your car back to std , and sell your chipped ecu for a few hundread quid - cant loose really imho.

cheers guys has helped alot and probably saved my engine jus a question about when i get a standard ecu will it muck up the immobiliser atall or are there any problems with swapping ecus?
also should i have everything on the car (fully decatted exhaust ect) prior to the remap?
cheers

Yes you need all your mods on first or how would the mapper know what to correct and improve the fueling/performance to
I've got a E3 ecu that came off my old RB5 that will plug straight in, it's been sat under my bed for the last 2 1/2 years, you can have it for £50 if you want, there's no rush though it's keeping my spare passenger wing company
