After owning my P1 for only afew months , noticed a struggle of starting and a lose in power . After having a Leak down test done came back the news i was dreading Cylinder 2 was only at 35psi , So after alot of researching i settled on dropping it off enginetuner 260 miles away for a fully forged 2.1 stroker build

also thought why not throw in a toucan

Cant wait to get it back

Bad news about the car.
I'm sure the EngineTuner 2.1 build will be of some comfort

Seriously, it's the controller/sensor monitor for the Alcatek ECU. (It's analogous to the Commander for the A'PEXi ECU).

Not nice when you buy a new car. But personally I wouldn't buy a P1 unless it had an engine rebuild done, they seem to fail a lot. Can't see it being the engine itself at fault.

I was wondering if it's because they most likely only get used as a weekend car. So get thrashed alot, including track days etc.

Wasn't the P1 tuning an STi 5 map but they had a broquet in the fuel tank in an attempt to sort the Ron difference between Jap and UK fuel!

AFAIK the P1 came with stock STI Type R ecu so mapped for Jap fuel. Prodrive added some fuel broquets into the tank to combat the difference in Ron. The broquets break down over time, hence the issues.
