ok, so im gonna sound like a complete dimwit, but hey, it wont be the 1st time!!
I have an STI uk, and keep seeing all these messages appear regarding PPP. I realise that its a performance pack from Prodrive & the expected cost but what EXACTLY will the pack consist of & what are the expected gains to the car as a whole....ALSO i notice the word WARRANTY...is it likely to be affected or will subaru welcome it with open arms??
OK, hopefully ive finished being a dimwit

new/altered ecu, and exhaust components and a possibly uprated hoses. Cost is rumoured about 2K and should give you about 300bhp (301bhp has been rumoured). It will not affect your warranty, the only performance upgrade on the market which definitely wont as its doen by Prodrive but backed by Subaru UK.

Whilst I can't answer the performance side of your question (although figures around 300 bhp have been mentioned) I beleive it mainly involves ECU and exhaust changes.
My main point is your warranty concerns. The whole point of a PPP is that is fully supported by your IM warranty, and is sold as being the only performance upgrade which will won't invalidate it.

I am relaibly informed that the kit will be ............
An exchange ECU
Full exhaust with sports cat front pipe
An induction part ??
I don't think the pipework will be changed as the STi already has nice red uprated stuff.

PPP Power = 305ps(300bhp ish) and 300lbs Torque
Std STi7 UK is 265ps(262bhp) and 250lbs Torque
If you can get it

4 options
1] leave it as it is ..........and get overtaken by the 'Pope Mobile'
2] Fit PPP keep warrrenty and do driver improvement days. then have 305 ps 300Lbs the performance the car should have nhad in the first place
3] **** warrenty add cheaper performance Tuning parts and as realible parts and get 330/350 bhp and track it
4] Sell it
