Easy to install. Affordable. Reliable.

• G4X PlugIn ECUs offer the latest in engine management technology, designed to easily maximize the potential from your car.

• This ECU fits inside the factory OEM enclosure. Installation is a breeze, with no alteration of the factory wiring loom required for the models listed below.

Designed for the WRX V11 EJ20/EJ25 Turbo (GR/GV/GH/GE chassis, MY2007-2010, Denso ECU from factory). All factory functions including DCCD, hill start assist, SI drive, cruise control supported.

Note: Some North American models may have a Hitachi ECU which is not supported.

Please check your connector matches the header in the listed photo and check the notes below before purchasing.

• This ECU works for manual transmissions only.

• Air temp sensor highly recommended.

• Most factory features are supported.

• Check the features tab for I/O expansion options

Note: This Plug-in features a new 4 pin powered CAN connector and cannot use the old CANPCB cable for CAN connection. Use the CANJST4 (Link PN 101-0198) cable for connecting CAN devices. This new 4 pin port and cable provide not only the CAN connection, but also a protected 12V power supply and ground for powering the CAN devices. The power supply is protected by a self-resetting fuse rated at 3A continuous.
