First Scooby I bought with very little knowledge of what I was buying.
I found a garage that specialises in Subarus, they gave the car a once over and said I should talk to a guy about putting a daughterboard ECU on and having it remapped. It would appear no one had done it previously despite the car being a 1994 and having been in the UK since about 2004ish (iirc). OK says I.
I meet the guy, we talk, he explains the process and what results should be expected. We put it on the RR before and after. I didn't save the before graph (in hind sight I find this very annoying
)
The after graph:
The difference in drive was amazing
At the time I didn't really have the words to express (I've learnt a lot in the last few years) the change. The spool was erratic, now smooth. Leading onto smooth power delivery. It pulled like a train
My current car behaves the same way as the same tuner did his magic on that one as well, but I didn't bother with the extra time and expense to get a rolling road test done. We both knew the new one had more torque & power and that was good enough
That car has been scrapped now after some tool drove into the back of it about 3 months later
