Mmmm it's had full Milltek put on so can't check the exhaust. No boost guage either. Will need to check for the intercooler hose - the only one I recall seeing is a red one on the underside.
I'll get a photo of some hoses tomorrow and I'll get the forum opinion on what I've got. I'm waiting on my bluetooth OBD plug being delivered and then I should be able to check the boost with Torque.
Which pillar would have the sticker? You mean the A pillar next to the windscreen?
So far I haven't seen a damn thing to refer to prodrive and I get the feeling I've been bumped.
You could get someone to read the map on the car see what's on it but If it has a full milltek and sportcat will need either checking over or mapping to make sure safe, may have already been done but with the 2.5 known issues I would get it checked out if not sure
Crap. It does 0.9 bar of boost, and no certificate of fitment or stickers. Now I need to decide whether or not to demand compensation or send the car back.
Don't worry about it mate, not the end of the world. As long as the car is a good one that's all that matters! Once the modding bug hits, all trace of PPP vanishes anyway
From what I see online I could be running a much better remap on the standard turbo anyway, without any other mods. I can't see me keeping this thing standard.
PPP usually adds £300 -£500 to the price (despite being around £1600 OEM).........I'd ask the garage for £300 as a goodwill gesture and that will near as damn it pay for an opensource map for the car
If it has a boost gauge it will read around 1.3bar rather than 0.9bar. Should have Prodrive cat back and blue prodrive intercooler hose also.
Hope this helps,
Graham
I had a PPP put on from new when I bought my Spec D (06 STi) and it does not have a blue hose. I believe the kit for this car comprises remapped ecu, fuel pump and rear exhaust box.
I have to say that the PPP on this car makes driving smoothly in low gears nigh on impossible and only realised how bad it was recently when I had to have the car mapped by JGM due to new head gasket, forged pistons and different turbo. I can now drive the car smoothly

Yes the drive-by-wire throttle map on the Prodrive models is very sensitive! Awful!
