With all due respect you have fitted a FMIC, removed the cats and disconnected the MAF to get it to run?
It's your car and you can do what you want to it but you do know how prone the 2.5 engine is to failure and you seem to encourage it along, they are not great in standard form but you must really like taking a gamble.
I would suggest that you book your car into Indigo GT and get them to map it for you ASAP before you risk possible long term damage to the engine.
Also I wouldn't want to run anti lag on the TD04 either, they aren't built to withstand the abuse of anti lag and will quickly fail if you try and push them.

I have to agree.
The 2.5 Hawk can last well but can also be catastrophic, there are cases where the 2.5 engines have had two re-buiilds whilst still under warranty. Unless your hoping for more than 350BHP then why have a front mount or is it because you can brag in McD's? But a TD04, with A/L it will melt in a few sessions.
It's a bit naive fitting all the bit's, deleting the cats and running MAF-less as I know you work in Nathaniel Subaru (you may need their services soon) but it's a new franchise and probably not fully conversant with the issues associated with the 2.5 or are in denial like most Subaru Dealers.
I wish you all the best with what your doing and hope you have the wonga to cover any problems. I would forge it first then go for some power upgrades, then declare them to your insurance.
Slightly of topic, I did ask you before but got no answer, are Nathaniel JDM friendly?
