thats not true for all cars. I believe the only subarus that ecutek encrypted the stuff was for the DBW cars. Most of you have those, but for those lucky few who jumped on the suby bandwagon earlier (02-03) can still use it even with AP or Ecutek. Just remember if you use accessport, as soon as you change the map via AP, you cant get it back without hooking your laptop back up, you cannot save it to your AP.

I cant answer on his tuning abilities, but yes there is OpenECU software (tunerpro, ecuflash, etc) that works for Evo's, you just need the correct OBD2 to USB cable designed for your car, along with the diagnostic connectors to flash your ECU.
