Do you have the original knock sensors? You might want to see about getting a Subaru mechanic with a SSM to drive it around and see what's going on with your ignition advance. The other thing to check is the small check valve that is installed between two pieces of tubing coming out of the large black box mounted under the intake manifold. It's just behind the power steering pump and (obviously) under the intake manifold. This valve has been known to crack with age and will result in a non functioning IRIS valve.
