STI PPP Performance
Just had the PPP fitted to the car and it feels completely different. Car only done 800 miles but im not sure if there is anything wrong as there is no kick at all now when you hit 3.5k.
I know the engine is tight and will not release true potential for a few K yet but but im not sure if the car has been correctly modified.
The power delivery is constant from the start but to tell you the truth im not convinced its putting anything like 301 bhp out..
I asked my dealer for the PPP certificate and they told me the service dept had lost it... They are sending me a new one, still 3 weeks waiting and received nothing. I have a Prodrive back box fitted but I can see no other difference.
I am wondering with all this free PPP packs being fitted if the dealers are not paying the same attention as if they had £ 2k thrust at them.
What kind of difference is seen between a loosened scoob STI engine ( 3,000 miles ) to a new one?
I had an EVO 6.5 TM a few years ago from new and that certainly felt better from the start, are Subaru boxer engines radically different from new to run in?
Im not a turnip and do not expect a new engine to perform like a run in one and I have not put it much over 4,500, however I am questioning if all is right under the bonnet.

Both my son and I had our 03 STis PPP'd within a week of each other and he was totally unimpressed. I drove the car and it was way down on what it should have been. We fitted a boost gauge and it was struggling to pull 0.8bar! It turned out to be a blocked restrictor in the actuator piping. Get the boost level checked and check out the restrictor. You should see around 1.3bar on test.
