Duffed Dub is an unknown quantity at this point
still fighting issues.

took the car to a shop and they seem to be firing the parts cannon like it just as i was. they check compression, engine had 165 across all cylinders. they said they have never seen such a healthy SR. they found a few loose ground, and tested the electricals and found no issues. they found it was getting 60psi of fuel so i ordered a AEM AFPR for them to install. we arnt sure if the issue is fixed because they havent gotten it to running temp yet after the AFPR.

right now he ECU keeps going into limp mode. (solid red light) when it isnt in limp mode it flashes code 55 signaling all clear. the car revs fine 1-5, but as soon as it gets put into reverse it wont rev past 1k rpm and sounds like its on 2step. they said it was a bad ECU so i found another. unfortunately the one i bought was bad. immediately caused cylinder 3 misfire (waste of $200).

im skeptical of the CAS but im letting them do their job.

their course of action now is to replace the ECU, if that doesnt work then engine ECU.

what do you guys think? am i wasting my money at this shop? i know the guy knows what he's doing. he drifts an RB20 swapped rwd WRX wagon, and has a 13b swapped K truck. they do all kinds of work on subarus, GTR's, SR's, ETC.

i am moving across the country oct 1st from WA state to North GA then to FL by nov 15th. really want the car running by GA so i can run it at Lanier Raceplex. not feeling confident about it at this point.
