Got my Perfect Power installed tonight
First off, thanks to Kortir2.5 for his help, well actually me just watching him do it all because I am a n00b. He installed my Perfect Power piggyback ECU from rallitek. The thing is awesome, it is a slight bit more powerful(boost isn't upped yet, everything else is stock) but the power curve is so smooth, no choppity choppity. For only $440 it was a great deal. I just wanted to post because I am so happy to finally have more than 227 HP. Next up boost gauge, MBC(I know they are bad, but the PP corrects them and makes up for an EBC) and then DP.

i can't believe they are selling these for wrxs did they some how address the closed loop transision that a a 500 reflash would have fixed? |

Keep us posted. I am interested in a PP for my '93 turbo leg, so I'd like to hear some inputs as to the ease of adjustment and general thoughts on use/performance.
I NEED some kind of tuning. This is about the only low cost way to do it for me (as unichips are basically done with no one tuning them anymore) |

They are pretty easy to tune, if you go to www.perfectpower.com you can download the tuning program and play around with it to see if you understand how everything works. If you buy the PP from rallitek (the only supplier for WRX) Sean will hope you tune it and will send you maps for it.

PP is a good choice for the Tlegacy but a BAAAAAAD bad choice for the WRX
espically the 04-05-06 |

Why do you think it is such a bad choice for a WRX?

i actually typed out a responce on the 10th but had dns issues
basically the 04+ ecus has a emissions "feature" that delays when the ecu changes from closed loop to open loop this causes a very lean condition (stoichiometric) which causes detonation the only way to remove this "feature" is to change the setting in the ecu the wrx ecu has over 200 maps, it is very very complex. piggybacks are like using a steak knife for an surgery .. sure they can work but have no real accuracy and are just plain crude .. especially when there are exceptionally good tools such as ecutek/protune/utec (utec is only sorta a piggy back not really) for reasonable prices |
