Hi mate, many of our members in West Mids Impreza's use Thwaites Developements in Warwick for any tuning/mapping/servicing on their Scoobys. I'd advise you to give Mark a call there he'd definitely be able to sort this for you.

Will have to try it. none of those are any where near me but will have a look out.
Its not a good advert for Subaru when their cars will only run on speacialist fuel when other cars can addapt to almost any fuel etc.

the hawks ecu can sometimes be overly precautious.

I maybe able to meet and plug in and check exactly what it is doing later this week if it helps?
