power varies on every car, if you put yours on a rolling road it may not even make that power ??

I would stick money on it that a PPP STI never makes 316bhp from the factory map

If your car can make 301bhp from thee factory map you have bought on hell of a good car Don't take figures for how good your car should be. Pay an extra £500?? for an ecutek map and I bet it would take your car up to 320bhp with no other modifications???

Since when have PPPs been individually tested?
They are just a pack fitted to a car at the dealers who won't be putting them on a rolling road.
Quoted power is 320 ps/316 hp regardless.

Actual output when subjected to a RR is another story......

Your 301 hp refers to the earlier STi PPP on 03-05 cars, so I guess the wrong sticker has been put on?
I take it you've got a separate Prodrive certificate to prove PPP has been fitted to your cars VIN no.?

yeh i did think there was a possibility that the wrong sticker had been put on because of what year the car is.

Could it be that you've got one of the last Blobeye's on an 06 plate? I do believe there is some about.
