Default Anyone know this scooby?

Hi Guys

Is this anyones scooby on here?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3221936.htm


Emailed the guy (James) nice chap
But asked the normal questions we ask when interested in buying cars
The one thing that puzzles me after getting a reply from him is,that all this power is handled with a standard ecu and standard headers???
Can this be acceived?
Or can someone shed any light on more history about this car

Thanks in advance
Neil

2 maps on the std. ECU? Unless he means 2 boost levels on an electronic boost controller.

The Jap ECU can handle the mods with ease....Megarom / EcuTeK will run 2 maps and a bit more on the Jap ECU too

Probably on the limit of the stock ported twinscroll headers though LOL

I can vouch for this car too, though I dont want James to sell it so do so through gritted teeth! I used to work at Scoobyworld and still work with Imprezas daily. The car is awesome to drive and everything has been carried out to the highest standard. Its a very clean and tidy genuine 450bhp Impreza and a great buy for anyone.

Standard wrapped jdm headers and up pipe mate. They work really well so no need to change...
