UPDATE!!!!!!!


IT WORKS!!! Today I drove it around the block for the first time. Pretty exciting. there is no exhaust on the car so I only drove it for a few minutes. But I am stoked.

First thing I notice is that I feel like I am missing power. I will wait till I hook up exhaust and everything to really test it out..

I will post a video soon

Congrats. You are way ahead of me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As far as missing power, you haven't run the tuning yet, right?

And do you have a Gtech? That will help to get an idea of what power you have.

No, I havent run any tuning or anything. However, after some quick research... I realized I had the PCV valve and blow-by hose connected wrong. Not sure if I have the correct plastic piece that connects into the crankcase, so i will have to get that situate out. The subaru service manual said that if there is "low output, hesitation, and poor acceleration" then to check the blow-by hose. I DIDN't EVEN HAVE MINE CONNECTED!!! So that should help... it really felt like it was running on two cylnders.

ANd I have heard of Gtech before. Is that the standalone unit?

Gtech is a standalone accelerometer for getting 0-60 times, HP, etc. Pretty close estimation of HP numbers. You have a laptop and the tuner software? I am using a netbook with the link software installed.
