Have just ordered a new wrx :-) Is the ppp worthwhile? at £1600 its not cheap. Then again in smiles per pound it may be worthwhile. I already have a wrx and it could do with some extra power

Hi m8,

Bought a wrx in march this year, and a couple of months down the line got the ppp.

Worth every penny (imho) loads more torque and a far better sound, having said that i only kept it for 4 months a bought an sti with----ppp.

Go for it.

Thanks for the advice. Think ill go for it. Test drove a wrx with ppp and it was a big improvment. New exhaust gives a much better noise too much more of a burble.

Nice 1 on buying the sti

Much faster and louder. Former great, latter sometimes tiring but well worth it overall. Obviously does'nt get over the fact that the gear ratios are too high - need the STI (extra cog) to solve that.

Perhaps i can shed an ickle light.

My isurance was increased by around £80 when the ppp was installed.

If you plan to keep thr wrx then yes go for the ppp, it's great, more torque and the turbo spools up at lower rev's.
The extra bhp combined with the torque make the wrx the car it should have been, out the box.

More drivable, less gear changes round town so makes it effortless to go from a-to-b.

I found my o3 was getting quicker and quicker the more miles it clocked up, after about 10,000 the wrx was running fantastic. very quick very smooth.
Having said all that, i did find it bland, well quick, but bland, so i'v gone for the sti-ppp, he he.

Differant car, differant leauge, so my final point, if you plan to keep it, then go for the ppp, if you feel even a slight hankering for the sti, save your dosh and wait till the funds allow a swap to the "DADDY".

All in my honest oppinion.
