That's what I believe
However I'm liking the Hatch Seats, but I don't believe they are interchangeable without mocking up new mounts
Seriously though, get the car mapped with switchable maps one with 20% meth and then you have the best of both worlds. A good mapper wont charge you anything for the additional work. The difference it makes is very noticeable .
If you need some mapper details just hollow Your standard ECU is more than capable of offering what you need with switchable ACL and LC with two maps. No need for a stand alone ECU or ECUTEK which is old hat in my opinion.

Good results mate
Upgrade route if you are thinking about it, panel filter/induction kit (CAI), headers and up pipe.
Had a look into meth fuel a long time ago and it really did seem more hassle then it was worth especially with storage and finding a good supplier. But things might have changed. Also couldn't be bothered with switching maps to put meth in the tank on the road. However they do have flex fuel but not sure if your ecu supports it. You can use other fuels and not worry about specific mixes because the ECU will work out what the ratios are and change timing etc.
I thought the hypereutectic were in the 2.5s. The other newages were factory forged and has been talked about a lot whether the 7 or 8 sti had the same strength or if one was stronger than the other
It really does depend on what thread you go on lol

The mapper would install a switch for you to switch between, you could use the OEM spare switches that are generally located in the gearbox gator Same for the ALC

To be clear the OP cannot simply switch fuels/use different octanes to the one the car has been mapped to on the standard ECU. Mapping for 95 and using 99 would be fine, but not the other way around
I believe as already said the bugeye is believe to be the stronger of the semi forged engine, hey Banny ran over 500 through one
Yes running meth can be a pain if you don't have anywhere to store the stuff, but the hassle, as I said earlier, isn't hassle when your getting it for 50p per litre. I bought a drum for £100 delivered the last time I used it, left it in the shed covered up away from the sun and used a £10 hand pump to transfer into 5L cans, of which I had spares so that were primed in the shed. Generally the only time I had a filled 5L can in the car was when I was going to fill up, the rest of the time I didn't carry the stuff in the boot. However this doesn't work for everyone, and I did occasionally carry it when I knew I would need to refill on a long journey, but you could always run it down and then use the fuel only map.
Me too, greetings Banny

So just to be clear don't mess about with the fuel until it has been mapped

You can do that on the standard ECU

If memory serves me its around
£100-£125 delivered for a drum (210litres I think) so apx 50p per litre
Or
£20 for 25 litre, so under a £ per litre.
I'll check whom I used, but something like "chem" rings a bell

That's great been looking over last few days. Think I'm deffo gonna do meth via switchable maps. Tried look for a flex fuel kit but could only find ECUlabs which seamed a bit of a chew of to be honest. Cobb do them but vey expensive & only for later imprezas. I'm gonna stay with my vf30 see how it pans out as I like the way if performs.
