No not the 7d this is not the PPP ecu and even then the PPP is not plug and play it has to be coded in,the reason i know is because i have fitted one to my 1998 impreza and also a different one to my rb5 which is plug and play. Hope this makes sense.

Daz, I think you will find the PPP ecu for your car is a rare beast and as johned has said it need to be coded

this is a PPP ecu

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Imp...item20d9dd4e78

But i DON'T think it is the correct one for YOUR car

A generic PPP ECU that only works on an unmodified car for 250GBP+recoding fee when you could have a live mappable twin map mafless ECU that will work with any state of tune for 295GBP+VAT?

Mapping fee is free if you DIY and varies between mappers. I think you would need to feel the massive difference between a generic map and a custom live map to appreciate it.

You said,"Mapping fee is free if you DIY" and i asked if you were saying that almost anyone could map their own car, it was a question.

We sell to alot of retail customers. Our system is popular as it is the least expensive and it is properly documented.

http://www.enduringsolutions.com/Manual.pdf

If someone is sufficiently motivated, has a laptop and wideband, then DIY mapping is quite possible. My advice is to read the manual and if it makes sense then start slow.
