Street Legal Package
EcuTek Re-Map
3" Milltek Exhaust with Sports CAT
K&N Filter
~340bhp/340lbft @ £1350
inc. Comprehensive Warranty
so whats the Powerstation warranty going to cover? Just the stuff they put on?

Bil,
Give Dirk or Rich a call and they will talk to you about the package, what the warranty covers, and more importantly, you can tell them what you really are expecting in terms of power/driveability.
they don't bite, get on the phone

Strange as before I bought my STi I drove an FQ-300 which had a few mods to 330BHP, it felt horrible engine wise, ran out of puff at 6000rpm as the STi I have (andy f mods) will just fly round to 7,300rpm, the only thing that the evo felt better at was handling which the sti just cannot match

the gear shift points on the 06 2.5 are much lower down the range - should be around the 6k mark as much above that and you are doing nothing but stressing the engine.
mine peaks with torque at 4000 so try and keep it within the 3.5 - 6k mark when accelerating hard
as said above, if you are concerned with the warranty go for the PPP but if not go down the powerstation route - they know what they are doing with 2.5's most other ecutek dealers have very little experience with them.
but you should easily see 340bhp and over 350 lb/ft torque with a similar power spread/driveability to the PPP and that will wipe most other stuff off the road including fq evo's
