Question

Had my ppp fitted on my sti8 yesterday. It now sounds very nice but it don,t seem to be any faster.Cars done 2000miles.
You can tell theres a differnce in the way it drives but i feel a bit let down.
Maybe i was expecting a big change or may be i need to change the way i drive it to get the best out of it.
What do other people think of there ppp's. My car went very well before fitting. Maybe this is why i have not realy felt any change yet.?
Sorry about some of my spelling!!!!!

Not intrested in rolling road figs. Been there done that. Just wanted my car to go faster.

So what do you want us to tell you...????

From what ive heard from most people on here it makes a huge difference getting the PPP on the STI8, this is the reason why i said go for a rolling road... to see if the place who fitted it did it properly..

I have driven standard STI7 (265BHP), one with Milltek exhaust (285BHP) and STI7 PPP (300BHP) and I could feel the difference in all three. Dont expect it to fell like you have gained about 100BHP, but you should notice the torque pulling from much lower revs and more mid range punch.

If you have ECUTEK and get about 340BHP you will be well pleased

My 03 WRX PPP gets better and faster and smoother the more miles I do. I've now done 4k and it's only started to feel 'special' in the last 500 miles or so. Subtle improvement, but it's definitely getting better as it loosens up!
