Please confirm something for me
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
Sy

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

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

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
