Breaking P1 - what should I grab?
Hi, I have a oppertunity to switch over some part's from my99 Turbo Wagon with a written off P1, what would be the best bit's to get? anythng I remove must be replaced from my car.
I figure the intercooler and possiobely the Turbo (Does anyone know if the P1 used the VF28 turbo?)
What else is worth swapping over?

The shocks/springs could be a good upgrade depending on the setup you have now.
Wheels perhaps, STI panel filter, possibly the headlights if crystal etc

Yep, just drive off boost untill the remap
Also the centre section of the P1 doesn't have a cat, so could be worth swapping (assuming you have OE exhaust)

Regarding the ECU's, they only cause a problem when you start removing the cats, i.e. aftermarket exhausts. The P1's were set up to the limit, to many people bolted on exhausts causing the car to run lean meaning ******* two of the four pistons.
Left alone the P1's are fine, start playing around with out a re-map and your asking for trouble.

More scaremongering about aftermarket exhausts I see. My old p1 had full decat from the first week, no problems, 50 odd thousand miles now, no remap. Plenty of standard P1s have blown up.

I think that too many people worry about engines - if it's gonna go then it's gonna go. Just get a knocklink fitted so that you know when to back off to preserve your engine when chasing that EVO....

if it's still ok the suspension is different and better than std uk, spotlights fetch decent money as does the spoiler. front splitter/bumper is worth getting and the interior will be worth a few quid aswell even the badges on the wings and bootlid go for good money on ebay
