PP6 (perfectpower6) on our cars?

too newbish to tune a standalone to factory ecu settings? i didn't know standalones had obd2 capability. so those who need emissions testing have no other option then a piggyback, unless your blessed with a flashable ecu.

also the main reason people have piggy back issues is because of crank synch errors.

those who get their subarus to work with the AEM FIC have great results.

No it wont cory, with the AEM FIC you can control the o2 sensors as well as the maf.

Besides, the obd1 ecu is retarded compared to the newer ecus. it won't change ****

Untrue. The ECU does quite a lot actually. Creates VE tables on the fly using feedback from the O2 sensors and target AFR tables, retards and advances ignition timing. It won't "see the MAF doing strange things" as such, but it will try to respond to changes in AFR. If you're fudging the O2 sensor readings too, then I think you'll be ok.

The Hydra with the CAN box can be setup to run OBD2 fully. Element Tuning is just finishing the programming for a Hydra on the BRZ with full CAN support to run as a standalone and replace the OEM ECU. Next they are going to do the 08+ STi to run the CAN box and completely eliminate the OEM ECU.

It all just depends on your tuning and programming ability, but the hardware is out there to do it correctly.
