You shouldn't need to buy any software as the vast majority of turbo ECUs (excepting twin-turbos, what a pain in the rear) are supported.
The basics you will need:
- Tactrix OpenPort (1.3 Subaru or 2.0 will do fine)
- Flash Block kit (unless you feel like making your own, easiers just to buy one) to suit your car.
Software:
- Get the latest ECUFlash, you'll need this to read and write to the ECU
- Get the latest RomRaider from romraider.com, you'll use this to edit the calibration.
- Get the appropriate definition files for both of the above from romraider.com
I would really recommend you have some experience in the risks involved in reflashing software, it's not like reinstalling your computer, you can render your ECU essentially useless if it goes wrong or you flash the wrong data. You can also destroy your engine if you use an inappropriate map for your setup.
Hi, I see you are located in Auckland and so am I.
do you have a number or email? I can contact you using that and get more information. I am actually looking to buy a WRX STI soon and reflash that. I currently have a WRX.
How much are those Flash Block kits etc
