ive recently bought an 06 2.5 sti, its my first subaru and want to keep the warantee intact so was thinking of having a prodrive pack fitted but on looking at the spec sheets the only real gains are in 6th gear. has anyone had there car fitted with the pack after owning it standard for a bit as i just want to know if its worth the money or worth spending elsewhere on the car cheers

The first reasonable question on here in quite a while and everyone ignores it. They are all too busy talking about how many mpg they get or racing Focus ST's

Sorry I don't have the answer as when I had mine I went a different route. At the time though ppp was a reasonable upgrade and the only one that kept warranty intact and actually increased the value of the car when it came to resale time.

Rill had his 06 STi remapped at SC last week and got 341bhp/360ft-lb. Massive gains everywhere, you should see the grin on his face.

I would deffo consider it as its been known to assist in racing Ford Focus ST's

Quite simply: if you want to keep your warranty then PPP is the only way to go. It's good, but if the warranty is not a factor there are better value for money tuning options out there.

Don't really need it to race Fiesta ST's, as they're slow as fcuck, however if you want to race Volvo T5's and M3's would highly recommend it

Does nowt for fuel consumption though...I only get 19mpg on a good day etc etc.....

Not strictly true if you believe the official figures.

Check out the RB320 (which has the PPP as standard) consumption figures compared with the STi and you will see improvements in the Urban and Combined figures with the PPP fitted.

In reality, it will depend on how you drive it as you will require less throttle opening for a given power.

well thanks for the replies, its nice to know i maybe able to hold off focus st's . im going to get used to the car before making my mind up but thanks for the input

I have to say that the engine feels very torquey.

The main reason I had mine done was to try to maintain the performance I had from my WRX Classic.

If you get it done, let's have your impressions.

Hallsy67, i'm in the same boat, do I or dont I. It seems nobody yet has had an STi for a while and then put ppp on!. I'm going to try to get my local dealer to let me out in one, but they never seem to have them either.

Should be getting it fitted tomorrow... Will post an update when I've had a chance to give it a go!

hallsy67

thats another thing if the dealer fits surely it isnt put on a rolling road to test said bhp and torque figures the cars in for a service in the next month or so so i wil ask them when i book it in

hallsy67

cheers il keep an eye out for your results

I got a spec d and had ppp fitted at 10000 miles.
2.5 engine is quite torquey and the ppp improves this characteristic.
Makes overtaking a pleasure.
As for fuel consumption- double edged sword comes to mind. Driven the same way it will improve, but I find the right foot rides a bit heavier when it gets the result over a wider rev range.
The one thing I would add, is that it is less frequently taken to the red line, as there is always plenty on demand after short changing the gear.

Of course ppp is worth it. I can highly recommend it! I had 2 cars with ppp, a wrx and an sti, I was very happy with both.

UK car absolutely agree

hallsy67

thanks for that just what i was looking for

hallsy67

oh well spoke to my local subaru dealer today and because my car was pdi'd in cyprus but is uk registered its not a type uk so will not be under w/tee with a prodrive pack so i either leave it standard to keep a european w/tee or say stuff it and go and get it remapped elsewhere
