500bhp on 550cc injectors.

550cc injectors will be maxed out at 420bhp.

Thought 740cc injectors would be more sutible for 500bhp, as there rated for 565bhp.

If your after the best ecu my choiceI would be the Motec M800 Pro ecu but your looking at around 2,5k + mapping time.

Value for money I would say Apexi FC Ecu mapped by Andy F.

Motec would be an excellent choice, but can be very expensive to get setup properly.

Autronic is my chosen ECU - and get Mark Shead at MA Developments to map it for around £350. He's the chap responsible for the 206Mph Saphire Cossie.

The Hydra is a full-featured fully mappable ECU at less than you would expect. Well worth a look if you're getting serious. Alternatively, you've got MoTeC, Pectel, Autronic, Gems (no particular order)

However, the world's fastest manual transmission Impreza (at the moment ) runs an Apexi Power FC.

It really does come down to what you want and how much value for money you expect. There are so many choices.
