KINGSTON BAGPUIZE, UNITED KINGDOM – March 9, 2010 :Unichip Europe is delighted to announce the launch of a new performance enhancing plug and play ‘U-Connect’ piggy back Unichip upgrade for the 4wd 148bhp Subaru Impreza 2.0 Diesel.

Consisting of a specially premapped version of the renowned piggy back ECU, the Unichip enables subtle electronic tweaks to the Impreza’s fuelling and boost settings to enhance all round performance without compromising on economy or reliability.

Designed as a DIY fitment thanks to its high quality plug and play ‘U-Connect’ wiring loom, the Unichip can be fitted (and removed) in minutes. It is electronically ‘invisible’ to main dealers during servicing and can only be remapped by a Unichip agent.

Extensive rolling road testing has proven that the ‘Unichipped’ 2.0 Impreza Diesel gains an impressive 17bhp and 36lb.ft of torque over the standard car, producing a total of 168bhp allied to a mighty 292lb.ft of torque at just 2500rpm.

This extra performance offers significantly improved driver enjoyment and effortless overtaking, making every journey - long or short – a real pleasure. But this extra performance doesn’t impact on the Impreza’s thirst, as real world testing has proven that economy is unaffected by the Unichip U-Connect package, with drivers reporting a 5-10% consumption improvement compared to standard.

Priced at just £465.30 including VAT @ 17.5% and carrying part number PPSUB11.0, the Unichip U-Connect package is easily installed in minutes and is available now directly from Unichip Europe.
