Default Newbie after 2001 ppp advice?

Hi all, first time on here as it seems to be the best place for advice.

I drive a 2001 bugeye wrx and have the chance to get a ppp package but its off a 2004 blobeye. Will the ecu fit? I'm sorry to ask this as its probably been covered many times but I've done a search and can't find a definitive answer.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

You'd be better off getting a fuel pump, Panal filter, Decat or sports cat and a map.

I'm not sure the ppp is plug and play but sure someone will let you know.

I agree with sy5, just save up for the pump, filter , sports cat, or decat pipe and remap. You will definitely notice the difference and it will be specific to your motor, just my opinion.

Dont bother with the PPP, your money can be spent else where on more worth while gains.

The PPP ecu probably wont gain much at all on yours IMO.

Custom remap will sort and with the right exhaust mods and a panel filter (and fuel pump) see around 280bhp
