Welcome. You will have your work cut out for it to be ready for the Inter. Some long nites ahead i'd say. Best of luck with her :thumbsup:
 
Welcome to the club man.

I'll be corrected on this if I'm wrong but as the typeRA is a JDM car it will not be compatible with the prodrive ECU your thinking or looking at. Their are pins that won't marry up. I know of one lad that can mod it to fit but he's in England.

The fitting of a full system will mean that you have to get the car mapped for it to run safe and get the best result from your car. I don't think you can do that with a version 3 ECU so you'll be looking at Apexi or Simtek I think.

PM the traders on here that deal with mapping and they'll advise you best. :subaru:

Best of luck.
