unfortunately ,no ,but the amount of ecu options is huge (Hydra,Gems ,motec,Apexi power Fc) have a look at the links i've posted earlier.
there is also PolarPerformance as the have 3 option to 'chip' your original ecu (run by a bloke called Scott T who posts on here)

It's got the black stars on the grille.

Is it worth spending loads of money on tuning, would a 350bhp scooby whoop a 350bhp cozzie ?

Not sure really i just know the Uk boxes and diffs were different from the Jap spec.
You'll have to check the gearbox code and ask someone like David at Welcome to the API website.

The badge is UK.
Do you want to keep the car ,if not, don't spend any money on it.
Don't think you'll whoop it imo (is it the 4wd or rwd version)?

I take it its a sappire cosworth you are refering too?
If they were both the same BHP, then yes, the scoob would come out on top due to power to weight ratio (in my opinion)
My UK2000 (350 bhp) used to leave my mates stage 3 saph for dead in the twisties, so much so he sold it.

The car is a 2wd sapphire, what mods did you have done to your UK car to get to 350bhp ?

You should have him from a standing start imo (4wd being the key) from a rolling start perhaps he'll be quicker.
In the 'twisties' the impreza would have the edge (especially with a few well chosen suspension mods)

You can do it cheaper if you buy second hand, all my parts were new.

You can check some of the prices of stuff sc00Bylee has on the above link.

As sc00bylee said when people with STis get rid of their stuff to upgrade you can find a goldmine of goodies (always worth looking in the 'For Sale' sections on here.
