Picking it up next Saturday. Had one test drive and I bought it there and then.

Looking for Statto's to point out the main differences - performance, handling, braking etc - oh and this split diff malarkey - what's all that about ?

Bearing in mind I still grin every time I start my WRX what's life gonna be like next weekend ?

That's for the MY03 car. Is there much difference between that and the pack for the MY05?

I have an 05 ppp on order and I'm told by the supplying MD that it is same power + torque as the 03 and 04 map,only with better fuel economy figures

...but not the 320ps as I had hoped

Good point ! Either way all I get is two pages of black screen. I'm trying to search for a decent review of PPP 05 Sti as well - no luck so far.

The power and torque curves may differ.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat on your computer, you'll need it to read the link above as it's a pdf.

If not try here

For interest the complete Prodrive report for the MY05 is identical to the one they issued for the MY02 STi7 with PPP.
They are word perfect, and all the timing figures are the same.

See here http://www.prodrive.com/default2.asp?M=400

The only difference in the spec sheet is that the MY02 doesn't list the uprated fuel pump, which they DID fit, although on the first modified examples the cars were recalled to have the pump fitted.
When I had my PPP kit fitted it came with the uprated pump.
see here http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=180516

The MY05 spec is the same as the MY03, according to the Prodrive web site.

http://www.prodrive.com/uploads/03MY%20STi%20PPP.pdf is for the MY03/04/05
http://www.prodrive.com/uploads/02MY%20STi%20PPP.pdf is for the MY02

According to the published figures they haven't improved the performance at all over 3 years.

Thats not a complaint, as obviously I am perfectly happy with my MY02 STi PPP, just an observation, but it does make it harder to justify the expense of changing.

Cheers
MTR

Aha, obviously not an up to date version but this is now done. If the spec is the same as MY03 I think I'll be happy. Also found a couple of good reviews for the 05 PPP Sti - sorry I can't post links properly (ooh maybe I can )
