Default How can I tell if my car has ppp

previous owner didnt know, and although the sticker on the back suggests I have, along with the prodrive offical wing and apparently offical prodrive wheels, its not a prodrive exhaust.

How do I check for sure?

no cert no ppp is the basic rule of thumb for buying selling.

but if no exhaust then even if it was fitted its been removed so presume not.


any year car can be ppp'd bar none turbos

Pop the bonnet and have a look at the engine - PPP kit includes a blue intercooler hose with the Prodrive logo on it.

check the ECU should have STi on it if PPPd some time ago. However, map could have been overwritten. What boost pressure you getting WOT in 4th.

The bits you get in the package are different though. If you want an accurate informed response it helps to have the information in the first place

...and whatever model it was, ppp doesn't include a sticker on the back, 'offical' (lol) wing or 'offical' wheels, but always includes a back box. ****.

My 53 plate has the certificate of fitment etc, plus the prodrive exhaust and the blue prodrive hose under the bonnet. The wheels and wing are not included in the PPP kit.

You don't get a certificate if it's a import
