I think Superchips do one.
They are on Superchips - Rediscover the joy of the open road
The only dealer in Scotland is in Glenrothes, Scotland Superchips.
Go onto Superchips Web click dealer & they have their own Web Site.
Good Luck.

It isn't mate, Superchips have been getting away with this for years. They offer a custom mapped chip allegedly when infact it's just a fuel cut coupled with a pneumatic bleed valve. There is no alteration to the fuel/air ratio and whilst you will get more power undoubtedly it is a cheap fix and poor value for money. The Subaru isn't the only car they did this with in my experience the Rover T series turbo ecu was modded in the same way, fuel cut and tacky bleed valve.

dont want the superchip option, ive seen them and offer 38bhp at best...it has 4 wires and isnt a bleed valve either, well not that i know of !....was offered one for 100 quid and knocked it back as it isnt what i am after...its the daughterboard type i am after but not a lot about unfortunately...if i was going to do a lot of modding then the apexi /gems is where i would go probably but i only really want just around the 280 mark as that means no big costing upgrades to go with it ! i have just had a decatted magnex fitted which was a friends and near new. filter next and after i get a chip thats it ! i had a drag spec type ra and was hard to live with on a daily basis hence the limited mods as i know what i want power/drive wise !here is my old type ra !

Why? Both the Possum Link and the APEX'i are relativley economical and they both provide WAY better value than the mapable ScoobyECU-type products available (you can pay well over £500 for one after RR time!).

yeah, i checked scoobyclinic and its 480+vat for their piggy bvack thingy ! i dont want to spend 500 quid minimum on an apexi as i dont think the uk cars can take too much anyway so didnt see the point in 600-700 for 60bhp if you know what i mean. my old ra had the uprated work done to it already but was a bit harsh but shouldve kept it and replaced that final drive gear !. i want a little more but not too much as reliability suffers etc etc..so either i live with it or shop around for a fresh jap import sti...hmmmm acting like a brat now !

If that is a pic of your white car above then it is a 96 model running a 97 plate/registration.
If thats the case then a ScoobyECU is do-able. Just plug the remapped chip into the spare socket in your ECU. It will push boost from 11.47psi to 16psi (approx).
Doh! ignore my comments above, just re-read your post and thats your old RA.....
