BTW you did know you can only fit a PPP to a UK spec car, i.e. you cant fit them to a classic shape WRX or STI.

10k sounds like it might be a late classic shape.
If it's out of warranty, the 1600 odd quid the PPP costs might be better spent on Ecutek, downpipe and backbox of your choice.
The Ecutek map is arguably a much more sophisticated product than the PPP chip; when done properly.
From what I remember from the PPP'd classic shape car I drove, the kick in the pants at 3-3.5k was bigger; but I'm pretty sure what I've got now is certainly faster, albeit delivered much more smoothly.

I personally wouldn't get PPP unless you are really warranty concious. It's been proven time and time again that you can get more power and noise for your £1600 with other mods...BUT...without retaining your warranty.

Ditto. Cars within that price range are unlikely to have any of the manufacturers warranty left, so you might as well go down the Ecutek route, or something similar.
As folk on here will be quick to point out, you can get similar improvements to the PPP for less than the cost of the PPP. The main advantage of the PPP is that Prodrive/IM have developed it so you retain your warranty.
