    It's a E6k on a N/A 2000 RS with some minor power mods. Someone's selling it cheaper than any piggyback I've seen.

    Both Scott and myself both have experience with Haltech

    Dan just tuned a G35 with a Supercharged Titan v8, it had a Haltech. He has done a bunch of them, I can tell you for sure that its not his favorite but he won't complain either. You aren't going to pass emissions with that though.

    I don't think a Haltech is exactly "plug and play" into an RS. It's a standalone, but it would be NICE engine management for an RS...

    It's between the E6K and an Emanage Ultimate. They both would have to be wired in. The haltech I wouldn't pass inspections with and i doubt there are any maps available. The emanage seems to suit my needs now and later. I could tune for n/a now and turbo later on the same system. The haltech was just an option because someoen was selling it for $350 shipped.

    The Emanage is a piggy-back, the Haltech is a standalone. Subaru's don't like piggy-backs. The Haltech is not likely to have a pre-made map, but it can certainly be tuned if it's properly installed. I would NOT suggest the Emanage.

    Would I be able to wire it in so that I can switch between the standalone and the stock ecu? This way when emissions comes up i can just switch them out?

    but you would still need to have your stock ECU tuned well enough (if you are going turbo or whatnot) to be able to pass the monitors for the OBD2 inspection.

    I figure I"ll just run an open wastegate or something and it'll be just good enough to pass. I won't be turbo for a while. I have all the parts sitting in storage , but gas prices and premium just sucks right now.

    Looks like it's a no go on the haltech. It was sold. I'll be picking up an emanage ultimate from topspeed soon.
