Hi , Going to pick up a 2009 Impreza 330s and know of some of the engine issues that some had . Ringland failier etc and wondered weather it would be worth getting it mapped or at least checked?

If so where would you recommend? Located near Gatwick but willing to travel.

Thanks

Chris

depending on the year/ how many services it's had you maybe alright.

 

Jay is prob the best one to answer that.

Its a 2009 and has 32k on the clock. Has been to subaru main dealer for servicing.

You should be ok from standard -  the ringland failure happened to standard STI's the Type UK version had the prodrive kit dealers mods which included an ECU remap to take it to 330 bhp and included the revised parameters to avoid this situation. The 330 you are looking at will have had this done from the start so should be all fine, as Pete suggested check the history and enjoy

If you want the car checked out give http://www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk/

a call. He maps a lot of the Surrey Scoobies and South East Scoobies members cars. Very good reputation and he offers a mobile service. Although meeting at

http://www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk

is a good idea.

Also what the JGM map will give you are options that can be activated that are not standard as you will have a drive by wire throttle

 

fun things like

 

Flat foot shifting

Launch control

Downshift throttle blip

and anti lag
