Anyway back to some changes I've made/will make...

The car has a Defi adjuster/monitor with a dual-setting switch. The guy I bought it from called it a "tuner" and said it was tuned. My friends and I were questioning this, since none of us were familiar with a Defi tuner. So my one friend did some research the second day I had the car. We then realized that the Defi system is strictly monitoring and boost adjustment. The thing was NOT tuned.

The boost was set at 10psi for stage one. Flip the switch and it was set for 16... with NO TUNING.

I have a Cobb access port from the old car, but didn't have it with me. So in the mean time, my friend recommended that I take the (stage 2 tuned) ecu out of old Subie and put it in the new one. So that's what I did. I plan on taking it to a shop to have it fine-tuned asap, because that's the element I know the least about and I don't want it effed up. But for now I guess I'll be safe with the swapped out computers.

OH, and it also still has stock injectors. The thing had a cold air intake, exhaust, headers, 10-16 boost, etc without upgraded injectors... so that's another thing I'll change before I do anything else.

As a precaution I used the Defi adjuster to lower the max boost, in case the switch gets flipped by accident or something.
I also got rid of the intake for now, for a few reasons which I'll get to next...
