It takes about 2 'ish weeks at the dealer. The major delay I found was getting my "original" insurance certificate to the dealership so that they could tax it . They wont accept faxes anymore

Thumbs up

Cuperman,
IIRC PPP can be fitted by your Dealer But it can also be fitted at Prodrive. It won't make a difference "who" does it but different waiting times might for each applied for the STi7PPP.

Maybe the turn around times of ECU's is better, now ECU is software (reflashed/Programed by Prodrive) rather than a hardware( soldered in Daughter board. IMHO

Have heard it's awesome on the STi8 and maybe worth ordering for fitment at 1000 mile service enjoy

Cupraman,

It can come with the PPP delivered to you, but not to the dealer. So if you want the car delivered to you with the PPP then you'll have to wait for the dealer or prodrive to fit it.

Most people on here recommend that you run it in, do the first 1000 mile service and then have the PPP fitted, as on delivery the car has much thinner running in oil, and it's usually better to wait until you get 'proper' oil in before putting additional load on the engine.

If it were down to me, I would get the car and run it in. Get the first service done and then order the PPP. That way you get used to the car, and it's nicely set up for a PPP.
