if the ecutek is tuned for *exactly* what you are going to have then i would buy it. if not, get a custom tune like snowman. He has been very busy lately, however.

The A/F's sit around 11.2-11.5:1 (dual LM-1's monitoring) and EGT's never went above 820*C...no knock counts either. Still had a few fat spots and timing was conservative from the data logs. The ECU does save itself using timing.

Injectors, FMIC,Tial 38mm EWG and a tune would suit the set up well for a nice small budget set up.
Beyond that I will turn to built engines and rotated turbos

It doesn't matter it's still stupid to just slap parts on and drive your car. Of course you think it runs well you came from driving hondas. And by the looks of it yours probably had some crappy ebay parts too.

^^^^What are you talking about????I drive the car 4 miles a day and don't go over 3k rpm I'm not hurting anything and what makes you think i used ebay parts?Whats wrong with coming from a honda,I'm pretty sure every subaru owner hasn't always driven a subaru.

****Is there a reason why people like you rag on people when they are simply asking for constructive advice?Whats the point of sites like this if you can't simply go to it for help?

ive always driven a subaru


as far as your setup and people flaming you its because there is no point right now. your setup isnt neccessarily dangerous, but it is more stressful than stock. and right now with no injectors, fuel pump, or tune, you are really not seeing any power gain from upgrading turbos.
