A 93 STi cannot be remapped except with the ESL so look at the ECU located in the passenger footwell and remove the cover and have a look at the printed circuit board.
Depending on the accuracy of your boost guage your car will run around that boost anyway and that level of boost should be fine.

I thought the first sti didn`t turn up till 94.

scoobynelson

93 was the first sti. its hard to tell as they share the same vin number as the 93-97 wrx.

scoobynelson

harvey thx. i'll go look for that ecu. i'll get back to you.

All the version 1 sti`s were given a limited 1 of 100 or 1 of 200 plate with year and month of manufacture. Never seen one with a 93? All been 94.
