Going to look at a WRX today, which appears to have Prodrive exhaust (and I think the garage selling the car may not be aware of PPP). If on inspection it has the blue intercooler pipe too, I know this makes it likely but not definate to have PPP.

Am I correct in thinking that a standard WRX you can feel the turbo kick around 4000rpm (is it slightly before or after this?), and on one with PPP it's nearer 3000?

I know there should also be a certificate, but whilst I'll ask to look at the papers I don't want to ask "has it got a ppp certificate" because he'll be less likely to do a good deal I fear

Thanks

have a look through the papers, no cert no ppp, so don't pay ppp money for the car, then if it pulls well, your quids in

 

How much does PPP cost to have done?

 

2k i think

but tbh if your car is out of warrenty your better of with decat, pannel filter, fuel pump (only needed for new age cars i believe) and tech 3, better performance for less money

 

Only sure way is asking to see the PPP certificate or drivng a PPP and non PPP back to back!

PPP costs circa £1600 for a WRX I think, but some dealers will offer it for less.

Nah, that's the STi PPP mate

 

thought it was same price for wrx and sti.

o well still better off with teck 3 lol

 

The car isn't really PPP money anyway, it's more like WRX money which is why I'm interested Especially since it's an 04 so should still have at least a few months warranty.

If there's no evidence of certificate I'll take the VIN number away "to check the warranty is registered with Subaru" and give Prodrive a call at the same time

 

yeah worth checking but tbh i doubt its will have one, might just have a prodrive exhaust option

 

if PPP has been fitted, the dealer should put a silver sticker near the chassis plate or in the door sill, mine is bottom of `b` post drivers door sill.

 

Ah thanks, didn't know about that one - I'll keep an eye out!

 

turbo spool up is around 2500 rpm!
