Too much ignition retard and your exhaust gas temperatures (EGT's) go too high. Too rich and other issues. If Subaru could have tuned the turbo models to run well on 89/90, they would have from the...

If your car does get reflashed by the dealer, yes, it will overwrite the license and tuned ROM that is on your ECU. You then need...

Check the spark plugs/spark plug leads. A loose one at the spark plug end will cause some erratic idle issues, and ECU will try to compensate. Won't trigger a CEL either. If a lead *is* loose, check...

Actually, no, we quit using 08 WRX Sedan axlebacks for the 2010+ Legacies, our current turbo backs for the 2010+ are specific to those models.

Of course it's cheaper, it's a non-catted, "universal" fit header that looks kinda stainless but is likely just coated. It'll bolt up to the exhaust ports, but that's about it for fitment.
