Have written a review on the Prova SS-ECU if anyone is interested.

Presumably they or someone else is working on a new chip for the new Legacy GT.

Sounds like a definite benefit for the twin-turbo owners. A nice and safe upgrade that makes the car how it could/should have been from the factory (at least in the eyes of enthusiasts.) That's how many people in the U.S. thought with the base ECUTek and Cobb reflashes for the WRX which push 255-265hp and has a much more refined feel and response.

Yep it's a nice upgrade - very hard to get outside of Japan though.

I see it retails in Japan for 94,000 ($US 950) Yen if u swap your existing ECU.

It's double that if u don't swap.

OUCH. ECUTek reflashes cost $600 or 700 IIRC in the U.S. andthe Cobb Reflash is $395. Add the AccessPort feature to Cobb's reflash, and the total rings to $555 which allows you to run tons of maps and switch on the fly. Going to be a handy tool for a number of people. :)
