The "PO420" is the "Catalyst below efficiency threshold" warning in the new age WRX. Normally comes on when you decat the car unless you buy a fix box from ScoobySport or Pony Express.
Duncan
Edited to add that, if I remember correctly, this warning is based on the efficiency of the downpipe cat and isn't normally triggered by changes to the uppipe or the 3rd cat.

Removing the up pipe or downpipe cats will trigger this error code. It makes no effect on the running of the car and can be cured by fitting an electronic fix that modifies the signal from the rear O2 sensor.
