Thats good news to me.

Wow. That certainly LOOKS bigger than 3000 pounds.

I realize I am resurrecting a dead thread but I am glad I found it. I am about to embark on towing a small fiberglass boat with this thing. Need to get the surge brake first. I have the XT, the boat is a SeaRay 175 which is about 18ft and I am told 2000-2100 pounds, I suppose the trailer is another 300-400. I will tow out to a local lake and back, most of the time 11 miles each way speeds of no greater than 55, sometimes to a lake 20 miles, maybe highway speeds of 65. Should I look into a tranny cooler and do they even make one for an MT? My largest problem is that I live on a steep bluff. Gotta go down a steep hill when leaving and climb it at the end. I had not given thought to getting the boat moving out of the water though. Yikes. Gonna have to look for a ramp that is not to steep.

I thought the ecu had a limit for number of flashes?.?.? How many times can you do this before you need a new ecu and at what cost?

Just a couple lame newbie questions. I still have not bought one of these (looking at March 06) but I do have some familiarity with Toyota turbo engines (3sgte) just not sure what the major differences in ecu control between the two manufacturers. Does the stage one map change stock boost level at all? (not sure if boost is controller by Subaru computer or limited mechanically) Second, if thise is just all just fuel and timing (or combination with added boost) is anyone running an AF guage and does it ever go lean? Thanks John
