Fuel – Tuned on and for 104 unleaded fuel (Per NASA rules 7.16.)

If you are lazy and don't want to check the thread, it's 425whp and 470tq, and that was their conservative tune.

Owner asked to push the limits of the setup temporarily, and the tuner's obliged. "Note: We were still using the same fuel, same engine set-up and tuning with EcuTek." Put down 490whp/570tq

The car is prepped for NASA road racing

EcuTek is a company in the UK. They reverse-engineered the Subaru ECU and developed software to allow reprogramming of the various maps stored in the ECU. The software is available only to tuners (with a company).

When someone says they "Have EcuTek" they mean their ECU has been reprogrammed/reflashed with the EcuTek software by a licensed EcuTek tuner.

dont think you can sell it, the ecu has an immoblizer(sp?) that works to your car only. i know at least the 05s do

i think its worth it. full cutom tune, more boost, more fuel. car runs amazing. i gained over 40awhp from it

It is new for the 2005 Sti. I remember running into this when I was looking to get an additional ecu for mine.

Factory thing, not an EcuTek thing. Iirc you have to call Soa and give them your vin so they can code the ecu to your car. Has to do with the immobilizer chip in the ignition key iirc.
