SOLD for $13,400.

F*U*C*K you, Subaru- I'll never buy another. Utterly unforgivable the way these 2.5T motors under-oil and pop. At least the Porsche will retain it's value.

I think if you get an '08+ STi motor they're 'legacy fitment', but any of the 2.5T long blocks will work. I'm in the middle of a swap using an '06 WRX; have to change over the intake manifold...

Glad you got it sorted- takes a big man to admit an error like that.

RE: your oil leak- IME getting turbo drain hose on and clamped is a total PITA.

For me what finally worked was making sure that I'd deleted all the drivers I'd installed and then only using the ones that come with ECUFlash. Do Learning View or RomRaider work?
