Question

Ive been offered a Prodrive ECU for my 2002 WRX supposd to increase from 218 to 280odd BHP. Will my standard engine and turbo cope with this or is it just a bad idea.

As has been pointed out, around 245-250bhp, more torque in the midrange, better performance, but i doubt that you would get 280+bhp out of it ( )
The power figure is quoted running super unleaded fuel too btw.

to get 245 ish you'll need to do something with the exhaust. The PPP pack has back box and cat replacement for the centre section cat. Also there is a restrictor with a PPP too. You'll need to change the turbo hoses as well as they often split. the PPP has these as well.

I managed to get a second hand PPP with a restrictor. I just used complete scoobysport center and rear sections £300. (second hand too) and bout a set of hoses for about 80.
