It's not ESL :) Some form of aftermarket chip or other :)

ESL looks like this :)

cheers for that mate,just looking through the history found a receipt for ''Blitz ecu upgrade + re-map bhp 265'' i feels pretty slow to me done a ecu reset before a long drive but still feels the same i can feel an ebay coming on and a new z4 :)

;) You're welcome to try mine, we can fit it take it for a spin, and if it's not any faster than the current one swap it out again :)

the picture above is the esl live board the early esl boards are the same as in this link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/subaru-imp...item2a164fa821

and for some reason people wrongly advertise them as live mappable!

nice one cheers mate:thumb:,i just double checked the j1 link has been cut it has is 12 psi about right with a chip i thought it would be 16-18psi ecu reset hasnt thrown up any codes so i cant think why it would be that low its lower with the restrictor pill in,also do uk specs have the green test wires i cant find mine:wonder:

12 psi is about standard mate for a v1/2 JDM IIRC. Chips run 14psi+ depending on the supporting mods and condition of the car :) Never had a UK so not sure on the wires mate :)

mmmm if its ok mate think i will try yours and see if there is an improvement:norty:,yeah i agree my93wrx jdm was boosting 1.1(14psi-16 i think) bar with a standard z4 so 12psi with a chip seems low
