Default Scoobyecu

Has anyone got one of these on their WRX Wagon?

Was thinking about trying to get hold of one and wondered
about the results !

Original ScoobyECUs dont work with TD04-equipped 'Wagons. Some firms are selling 'ScoobyECUs' (similar principle to the ScoobyECU) which are mapped after fitting to your vehicle, ScoobyClinic being one. They quoted me only slightly less than Andy Forrest wants to supply and map an A'Pexi PowerFC though, so guess where my money will be spent?

I had, the map was not suitable to a wagon ( probably the little TD04 turbo fitted as std ) but got a fixed map for it off Scott Taylor, worked well, until I sold it to get an Apexi PFC.

If the ScoobyECU's are going for silly money now, probably best to get a PFC and custom mapped to your car, ( aroud £500 plus mapping ) IIRC ).

Does the Apexi PFC replace my existing ECU or is it a piggy back unit ?
where's the best place to get one.

The Apex'I PFC is a replacement ECU, needs mapping to your exact car for best results .
