Default PPP on 07 Hawkeye

Hi need a bit of advice I collected my 07 WRX STi 2.5 type Uk last weekend.

At the 1k service was thinking of having the Prodrive package fitted to take it up to 316bhp, as the car is new Im not looking for any other mods just the Prodrive package.

What I need to no is the Prodrive pack safe to run as Ive heard that there have been problems with the running it on the 2.5 block.

no probs with mine i did dump the back box and center section for the after burner though.

only had one problem with the whole car and that was a blown fuse which stopped my cooling fans working i went through my town like a member of the dead sparrow display team

Not heard of any problems with the PPP and mine is running sweeeeeet.

As has been mentioned - it's all covered under warranty anyway.

no probs with mine either. Engines are meant to be a bit soft at above 350bhp so nothing to worry about.

yes....hold on tight and make sure it is in a straight line when you plant it.
Also be aware that your passengers may lose the power of speech and that other cars wont expect you to move that fast. Also be ready to wave in a friendly fashion at motorcyclists as you pass them.
This is certainly my experience so far (I kid you not, the things mental.)
