Built-in AVCR+map selector? Ecutek's gonna have a fun time with this one.

 

very nice find... sounds like they are really stepping up to the premium performance plate. i don't think custom chippers are gonna have a problem though. i think hardcore perf guys are still gonna want a custom tune.

 

This is Leagacy's SI drive....most people in Leagcy.com fourms do not like it. It really doesn't do anything much besides change the torque mapping...

 

The article I posted says it basically affects the electronic throttle in different ways. I didn't think it changed the maps.

Here's my thread: http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6101

 

If you did not know subaru teamed up with toyota on that.

 

Hmmm... Kinda pointless. I'd always be in S#

 

If I saw a real MPG savings I would use it on the freeway, especially from Atlanta to Savannah, but other than that I think I'd leave it on S too.

 

i think people who cant afford a custom mapping would like that

 

i dont know that this will have any affect of the market, but the mpg thing is pretty nice, i always watched it when i was driving my gf's m3
